SUMMARY:Design Your Future Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The future can feel uncertain\, so we created Design Your Future as a program where students learn to apply human-centered design to their careers and life beyond Columbia. Our first go around this semester was overbooked\, so we decided to host a one-time workshop on \nTuesday\, May 2nd from 1pm to 4pm. \nThe goal of this program is to help you better navigate your career and life choices in the face of uncertainty.\nDesign Your Future gives you the tools to help you get unstuck in life. Design relies heavily on small experiments and rapid iteration. You will learn how to craft and run small experiments that can keep your work and life choices aligned with your goals. This program is highly interactive–there will be far more activities than lectures. \nDuring the workshop you will: \n▪ Reflect on strengths and passions\n▪ Map out multiple future trajectories\n▪ Design small experiments for your life\n▪ Identify and address personal barriers \nDesign Your Future is open to the entire Columbia community. Students facing imminent graduation may find this workshop particularly relevant! \nNote: this program will leverage design but not teach it explicitly. If you are interested in learning how to practice human centered design or use it to launch a startup\, see our other programs. \nDate and Time: \nTuesday\, May 2nd — 1pm to 4pm \nPlease sign up here so we know about how many people to expect. \nhttps://designstudio-ce.typeform.com/to/hgX1pi \nIf you have any questions\, please email designstudio@columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:Innovation Grant Info Session - Design Diagnosis
DESCRIPTION:Innovation Grant Design Diagnosis\nThis info session will be led by Designer-in-Residence Adam Royalty. Using a human centered design approach\, he will help you flesh out the knows and unknowns of your innovation plan. In particular\, he will focus on understanding the people you are trying to impact\, learning from existing solutions\, and generating ways to test out some of your core hypothesis. The goal is to strengthen your Innovation Grant submission by articulating it’s key features.\n \nAbout Adam\nAdam Royalty comes to Columbia Entrepreneurship from the Stanford Hasso Plattner Institute of Design the d.school. Since his arrival in the fall of 2014\, he has been co-teaching “Launching New Ventures” and “Green House” with Professor Dave Lerner at Columbia Business School. In the 2015 Spring semester Adam is co-teaching a course aimed at helping students conceive\, test\, plan\, pitch\, and launch social ventures with Professor Sarah Holloway at SIPA. \nAdam heads up The Columbia Design Lab offered by Columbia Entrepreneurship to the University community to use as a set of tools\, methodologies\, and resources for turning ideas into action. Adam and the design team teach young Columbia entrepreneurs how to use the methods and mindsets of design-thinking to understand problems more deeply and solve them in innovative ways \nAbout the Columbia Entrepreneurship Design Studio\nAt the Columbia Entrepreneurship Design Studio we teach students\, alumni and faculty customer-centric methodologies for developing innovative\, and practical solutions to ill-defined problems. \nThese methodologies\, called “human-centered design”\, give entrepreneurs\, students\, and faculty an agile approach to gaining critical customer insights and integrating them into their products\, services\, and businesses. \nWe encourage innovators to delve into the needs of market segments\, frame customer problems\, rapidly generate prototypes\, and build viable solutions. Through workshops\, sprints\, and projects\, the Design Studio brings diverse members of Columbia’s community together to build innovative solutions.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Prototyping and Testing
DESCRIPTION:Ideas deserve to be shown off. Join us for this Prototyping and Testing Sprint to learn about how to turn your early ideas into something tangible and test-worthy.  Prototyping is a way of learning more about your customer or community by having them interact with an early version of a solution. Once you have built a prototype of your product or solution\, you can use it to learn more about how your customer responds to it. Testing your idea provides immediate and valuable insights that can help you rapidly improve your product or solution. Be prepared for a highly interactive day! \nTeams and individuals are welcome. Feel free to come with your own idea to prototype\, or we can help you brainstorm one on the spot. \nIf you have questions\, please reach out to us at designstudio@columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:Design Sprint: Intro to User Research
DESCRIPTION:One of the core tenets of human centered design is understanding the needs of others. The ability to uncover and solve unmet needs is something all successful startups do well. Additionally\, this acute awareness of users has been proven to drive innovation and creativity in more traditional settings. \nJoin us in this introductory sprint to learn how to use design tools including interviewing\, analogous spaces\, empathy probes\, and more.  By the end of the sprint\, you will have practiced these tools to understand communities and pinpoint areas of opportunity for entrepreneurship. \nThis sprint is hands-on and fast paced! Come with your own idea or we will provide you with a topic to research. This event is open to all Columbia affiliates.
