Introduction to Design Thinking Workshop (Priority given to undergraduate students, 3 classes)

Published: August 20, 2024

Lets experience the "design thinking" methodology which can be called the global standard for creating innovation by learning its process. Even if you know the term "design thinking", this is the perfect workshop to experience it for the first time and learn how to actually put it into practice.

This event is planned to be part of the content of Entrepreneurship Course "Group Work for Value Creation A(ENT.V201)" for bachelors students scheduled to be offered in 1-2Q in the next academic year (AY 2025).

Therefore, if the participants of this event take the course in AY 2025, attendance to this event will be considered as part of the requirements for passing the course. In this workshop, you can learn the fundamentals of design thinking by experiencing its process in three lectures. The goal of the event is to learn the "human-centered" approach to problem-solving by identifying issues by empathizing with others, defining issues through detailed analysis, coming up with solutions and conceptualizing them, and repeating speedy tests.

This class is especially recommended for those who:

are taking ToTAL's course of "(Master's/Doctoral) Essential Group Work for Leadership" in 3-4Q, AY 2024.
are considering to take the Entrepreneurship Course of "Group Work for Value Creation A (ENT.V201)" for bachelors students in 1-2Q, AY 2025.
