Abstract: Over the last few decades, digital technologies have driven deep and profound changes in our relationships with our institutions, communications, and cultures. This process is not only ongoing but also accelerating. For the children who will inevitably grow up in this environment of change, we have done little to update the institution of education. The field of design has a great deal to offer children at this time. The thinking processes and multimodal approaches can, in part, provide the foundation for the skills that children will need for the necessary innovations of the future. The following article makes further recommendations for creativity as the next essential literacy for our children.
