Design thinking is a framework for idea-creation and implementation, characterized by empathy with ‘users,’ an appreciation for failure, and a “prototyping culture." Design thinking’s value is in its applicability to complex problems without an easy-to-see solution and in its “human centered” focus. This course will introduce participants to the phases of design thinking: Empathy, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test, and Iterate. Participants will have an opportunity to practice each phase, discuss the applicability and challenges of the design thinking framework, and apply those concepts to developing a project idea.
