Description
The course covers the basics of Design Thinking for people looking at getting introduced to the concept. It talks about the 5 stages that the process has. Starts with Empathy, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. It is useful for someone who needs to quickly understand the basics of the Design Thinking process. The program has some fun quizzes, some external links as reference and some content that can be downloaded for future reference. The ideal way of going through the course is starting with each section, choosing a problem simultaneously where the theories can be applied and reaching till the end of the program. Once a section is completed, I urge students to take up the quiz and browse through the material attached. Students should keep their mind open to learning when undergoing this course. Initially the concept sounds complicated but it isnt. If the concept with its tools is used in problem solving, it will yield results. Design thinking is a popular process used by organization and individuals in problem solving. A lot of startups have found solutions in various areas of humanity with this process. It can also be used to find value in social projects. All the best!
