Design Thinking is a methodology for creative and human-centered problem solving that empowers users to collaborate across disciplines and tackle the world’s biggest challenges. Who is this course for? What will I learn? In this experiential course - free and open to all - you will learn the design thinking process by tackling a real world innovation challenge. As preparation for each stage of the challenge, you will explore the main design thinking concepts through short videos, each paired with brief activities to practice relevant methods and approaches. There will be one weekly assignment reporting on your progress, as well as weekly Google hangouts with the instructor. On the last week of the course, you will apply the process to your own context and challenges, while hearing from experts who use design thinking to innovate in different fields, such as healthcare and education. By the end of the course, you will have learned through experience the mindsets and basic tools for each stage of the design thinking process.
