Event Description
The goal of this fast paced workshop is to bring to light ways to see and resolve problems by approaching any issue as it exists as part of a larger process. Though more generally referred to as “Design Thinking,” process-oriented thinking focuses on understanding the user engagements in and around any issue to appropriately identify the problem and thus better develop a solution.
Over the course of the 3 hours of this workshop we will look at examples of ideas that result from this type of approach. Then in teams we’ll explore an example problem through: a research experience for assessing the current status; exploration of all of the points of view/users; developing ideas to address the user needs.
