Practice Design Thinking

***Materials adapted from d.school Crash Course in Design Thinking CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 ***

To complete this module, you’ll need a partner. If you would like help finding a partner, please let one of the instructors know during class.

Instead of just telling you about design thinking, we want to immediately have you jump right in and experience it for yourself. We are going to do a design project for about the next hour.

Make sure you have a partner and a notebook/design journal with you. You will record notes in your journal as you go.

Your design project is to redesign the experience of getting to class.

By “getting to class” we mean everything from the minute you leave your room, apartment, job, etc. to the minute you open the door and take a seat. This includes transit, walking, and bumming a ride.

The next few lessons in the module will guide you through the design thinking process.
