1. Human centered in that people have to listen carefully to others to know what it is they need designed
2. Collaborative, so people learn how to work with each other
3. Experimental, so people feel more free to be creative and try out different things
4. Optimistic in that no matter what constraints we face, it gives us "confidence that new, better things are possible and that we can make them happen."

The process helped bring about the graphical interface and computer mouse. It's now coming into the language of many large firms as they seek a more structured way to innovate.

What we really want is for them to become innovative thinkers. Part of that is NOT assigning something.
She ultimately shifted her practice from disseminating procedures to fostering a culture of innovation.

First start talking about what designers do and encourage students to think like designers. Have them discuss what they see around them that could be done better or in a more streamlined way. 
According to Mindshift,

A good studio experience is about 5-15 minutes of presentation and discussion and then about a 45-60 minutes of hands-on work time, plus 10-15 minutes of peer critique.
