This will be fun! You're invited to come learn about Design Thinking while you redesign the Valentines's Day Gift Giving Experience for a partner. 

The Valentine's Day Gift-Giving Project is 90-minute fast-paced workshop though a full design cycle. Participants pair up to interview each other, come to a point-of-view of how they might design for their partner, ideate, and prototype a new solution to "redesign the Valentine's Day gift-giving experience" for their partner. __________ 

WHO'S THIS FOR 

Everyone is welcome.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN 

Participants get the feel of a design approach, gain some shared vocabulary, and get a taste of each design "mode" (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test). Specifically, we hope students see the value of engaging with real people to help them ground their design decisions, that low-resolutions prototypes are useful to learn from (take an iterative approach), and to bias toward action (you can make a lot of progress in a little bit of time if you start DOing). 

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING Bring a learners mindset, Valentine's SPIRIT, and your favorite pun. 

Please arrive early.
