CASE STUDY – Incubator School Built with Design Thinking | Sujata Bhatt and Ryan Oliver

Service design and design thinking can have groundbreaking results when applied to business. But imagine what could happen when these innovative principles are applied to education! Near LosAngeles, in Silicon Beach, there is an incredible school called Incubator School, started just a few years ago by visionary educator SujataBhatt.

Thoughtfully built using human-centered design and featuring a curriculum that teaches design thinking and entrepreneurship, theIncubator School provides an unparalleled experience in education.Currently serving grades six through nine, the school will soon expand to include high school as well, with the first graduating class in 2020. I spoke with the school's founder Sujata Bhatt andDirector of Entrepreneurship Ryan Oliver.

________

The Incubator School thrives with the involvement of its community - both business partners and individual supporters. You can be part of their innovations by contributing to their crowd funding campaign, which launched TODAY.

The campaign directly supports the student businesses as well as curriculum development and supplies.
