Design Thinking for Specialty Crop Innovations in the Field and Classroom

Design thinking for innovation is a systematic, iterative, and creative process for solving problems and developing new products, practices, and services in plant and landscape systems. In this seminar, I will share an example of design thinking for innovation in my research, leading to commercialization of the RootThru Weed Barrier. I will also discuss classroom strategies for engaging students in design thinking through the creation of their own innovations.
