This semester, the classrooms of Coimbra Business School ISCAC, Portugal, were transformed into a dynamic innovation lab as students applied Design Thinking using Post-its as a core tool for ideation and collaboration.
💡 Why Design Thinking?
Design Thinking is a human-centered methodology that encourages teams to:
Empathize with users
Define real problems
Generate creative ideas
Prototype quickly
Test and refine solutions
It shifts the focus from finding the “right answer” to exploring multiple possibilities.
🟡 Why Post-its?
Post-its may seem simple, but they are powerful tools for creative thinking:
✔ One idea per note → clarity and focus
✔ Easy to move → flexible thinking
✔ Visual clustering → pattern recognition
✔ Equal voice → every participant contributes
As ideas accumulate on the wall, thinking becomes tangible. Participants can reorganise, combine, and refine concepts in real time.
🚀 Impact in the Classroom
Using Post-its in Design Thinking sessions:
Increases engagement
Encourages divergent and convergent thinking
Promotes collaboration and shared ownership
Makes creativity structured and actionable
The result? Rich discussions, unexpected connections, and solutions built collectively.

💡Sometimes innovation starts with something as simple as a small square of paper and the willingness to think differently.

Key Takeaways 🔑by Pam Burnard from Cl4Bio Final International Conference:
👉 A ‘line of flight’ connects us on a compelling journey of possibility thinking (What if?) that has the potential to produce new ways of thinking rather than just continuing to ‘reterritorialize’ the same old recognisable ways.
👉 What if science also was…
✨ embodied
✨ sensory
✨ relational
✨ creative
🌱🎨🔬 By integrating artistic and scientific inquiry, Creative Learning reimagines knowledge not as abstraction, but as lived, felt, and co-created experience.
