Outline

Many start-ups and large corporations, including Google and Apple, have adopted design thinking as a basic approach when developing new products and services.
By experiencing the basics of design thinking through its five distinctive steps: empathy, problem definition, creation (conceptualization), prototyping, and testing, you will experience and practice the concepts of creative confidence and user centricity of design thinking.
This is the perfect workshop to experience design thinking for the first time, even if you are familiar with the term but are wondering how to put it into practice.
Since you will work in groups with a diverse range of participants regardless of year or major, you can also use it to build new networks.
