We may not know what the future has in store, but as teachers we need to prepare students to thrive in it. Teachers need to empower students and shape them into human beings adjustable to the labor markets which may take some of them by surprise. So, preparing students only for a set of skills needed in specific fields will not be the solution. They need to develop skills such as adaptability and creativity in order to face the challenges of technological and scientific advances that are easy to foresee. Design thinking can give a helping hand in this challenge.
