From a newsreader app, to a lowcost infant warmer for developing countries, to simply a more creative team dynamic, design thinking has proven to be a powerful methodology capable of solving challenges of all shapes and sizes. The principles of user research, prototyping, and testing have been used by everyone from product designers, entrepreneurs, humanitarians, among many others, to create innovative, human-centered designed products and solutions.
Please join us for this hands on introduction to design thinking, co-sponsored by the Columbia Entrepreneurship Design Studio and the Eugene Lang Entrepreneurship Center. We will focus on needfinding, problem framing, rapid idea generation, and collaboration. The session is fast paced and equally valuable for individuals or teams.
