This paper explores the integration of design thinking in education, focusing on the Ideate phase of Stanford University's design thinking process. It takes an interdisciplinary view and examines the concept of Education 5.0, which promotes the development of essential 21st century skills through interdisciplinary learning. The paper explores the integration of LEGO Serious Play (LSP) into the Ideate phase and highlights its potential to enhance ideation, collaboration, and creativity. The benefits of using LSP in education are discussed, along with considerations for successful implementation. By using design thinking and LSP, educators can empower students to become critical thinkers, effective communicators, and lifelong learners. The paper provides valuable insights and practical guidance for educators, practitioners, and researchers seeking to use innovative methods in education to prepare students for the challenges of a complex and dynamic world.
