Week 9: Design Thinking and Cultures; Human Trafficking

This week, students discussed the grand challenges facing two particular cultures: Kenya and Peru. Students considered how they might go about addressing those challenges, but they also reflected on the "American perspective" of solving problems and how that perspective does not work everywhere.

Students also discussed human trafficking, a crisis that affects the entire globe. They discuss how technology like social media, databases, and apps can mitigate the problem.
