The Basic Design Thinking Program provides an immersive hybrid learning experience for participants to understand Design Thinking. Participants will undergo two learning cycles. The emphasis of the first cycle is about learning the fundamentals of Design Thinking and in the second cycle, teams will leverage on their experiences from the first learning cycle and implement their learnings of Design Thinking while working collaboratively with a project partner.
Throughout the entire learning journey, experienced coaches will guide the teams and share their vast expertise from the working world. Teams will have sufficient space for experimentation, and room to fail to discover their personal conviction about Design Thinking.
This course is part of a research project that investigates the potentials and challenges of teaching design thinking in an online environment. Therefore, your participation in the course surveys and feedback is very valuable to us.
