3. Unleash your powers of creativity and turn complex challenges to creative possibilities!
To harness the power of creativity, businesses are increasingly turning to design thinking to solve complex problems, come up with new products and services, discover unvoiced needs or solve complex social or environmental problems.

4. This course …
introduces you to skills in collaborative innovation using the tools and methods of design thinking and co-design.
provides an opportunity to develop and integrate conceptual and practical skill sets, and focuses on the completion of collaboratively-generated service propositions.
prioritizes learning outcomes in: ethnographic research, critical thinking, creativity, judgment, problem solving and conceptual thinking.
the end goal is to develop a prototypes and come up with viable proposals to make a pitch to a panel of entrepreneurs, business experts and potential investors.

5. Teaching and learning strategies
Face-to-face delivery incorporates lectures, forums
discussions, videos, proto-typing and pitching ideas
The emphasis of the course is on:
collaboration
research and analysis of contexts
iterative idea generation
testing of ideas
critical reflection on user experience.

6. Some lectures but mostly workshops
Design has to be FUN and DONE, not talked about
We will deconstruct the design thinking processes and the sessions will consist of discussions, mini presentations, and various creative team exercises.
‘Learning by doing’, teams will immediately apply concepts.

7. Groupwork
Participants will work in teams. Team members will be asked to [switch] after each project, to allow you to work with as many classmates as possible.
