What is Design Thinking?
Design Thinking is a problem-solving approach that puts people at the center of the process. It helps you break down challenges, generate innovative ideas, and create solutions that truly work across industries. Whether you’re a chef refining a dish or a business owner figuring out a new product, design thinking equips you with the tools to come up with solutions that work for your unique problems.

Testimonials
“After completing Toast Academy’s Course, I learnt that Design Thinking has applications everywhere there’s a problem to be solved. Think about Healthcare, Marketing, Business Development, Technology, Social or even Chemistry.
This program has equipped me with a solution-driven thought pattern, the right approach and a systematic process of solving problems across various spectrums.
It was hands-on, and with guidance of the head tutor Jide Awulonu (one of the best design thinkers in the world btw), my cohort tackled and proffered solutions to real world problems using the stepwise design thinking approach.
Grateful for the opportunity to grow professionally, and I’m excited about applying these learnings to solve any problem bold enough to face me in the future 😂
Hello wicked problems, see y’all soon🚀”

Testimonials
The experience was truly amazing! Design thinking is such a fascinating subject, and our teacher, Jide, made it interactive, fun, and engaging. His patience was something I really appreciated.
Many online courses just overload you with information, especially paid ones, but this free course was taught so beautifully.
The interactive format, with roleplays, discussions, and assignments, helped me retain so much. I loved stepping into different perspectives and never felt pressured to cram. As someone with ADHD, that made a huge difference.
I’ve already started applying what I learned to real-life situations. This course was incredibly helpful, and I’m really going to miss our Monday, Wednesday, and Friday sessions. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Testimonials
I found it fascinating that this course applied to all areas of life. I used to think I had to keep different aspects separate, but the problem-solving process helped me personally, professionally, in making friends, clarifying goals, and finding balance. It was mentally stimulating and truly interesting.
If there were a more detailed course, I’d take it in a heartbeat. As a psychologist, I found it incredibly useful, it’s a great conversation starter and helps you see things from other perspectives. It was many things at once, and I really loved that.
