Description

Design thinking is a human-centred methodology for innovation that combines creative and analytical approaches, and requires collaboration across disciplines. The design thinking methods and tools can be used by anyone and everyone for investigating problems, acquiring information, analysing knowledge, and developing solutions.

This crash course is a 2-hour long, fast-paced, hands-on project which will take you through a full design cycle and provide you with an opportunity to try out design thinking. No artistic talent, design experience, or knowledge about design thinking is required at all! You just need a willingness to participate - it'll be fun, noisy and highly interactive!

The crash course will be facilitated by Clare Conroy (Sticky Note Consulting) utilising the methodology and materials developed by the Institute of Design at Stanford University (the d.school).
