OBJECTIVES
Course Objectives
Problem Solving
Problem solving has been described by the World Economic Forum as “the number 1 skill of the 21st century”. This course explores the definition of problem solving and teaches problem-solving frameworks used in industry and academia.
Adaptive Mindset
This course will help students understand how the world is changing, and how they need to change to keep up and solve humanity’s key problems.
Critical Thinking
St Andrew’s College courses are optimised to – above all else – make you a better, more critical thinker. This means that you do not tacitly accept things to be true, but have the capacity to evaluate the truth or persuasiveness of arguments.
Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration
We live in a world in which innovation requires the integration of diverse skillsets. This means that students must learn to collaborate and exchange knowledge from different disciplines.
