Program
DAY 1
Introduction to Design Thinking - Past and Present
In the first module we will present the key elements of design knowledge in an approach to the past and the present. A broader perspective will be presented, that is, knowledge about the way of thinking and the processes of the designers. At the end of the day, participants will be divided into groups and asked to solve a practical challenge through the creation of a group mural in Trello.
DAY 2
Design as contextualization and framing of the problem
Component number two aims to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the previous module, emphasizing the systemic nature of design and what this demands of design processes. The participants will continue the challenge of the previous component, proceeding to the contextualization of the problem and the various ways in which it influences the design process.
DAY 3
Design Models and Processes
After understanding the holistic nature of mind design, in component number three we will describe the different models that help structure the design process through research methods, prototypes and tests. In the second part of this component, we will address the most common methods of observation and participation, such as the user experience method, participatory methods and qualitative analysis. We will present the concept of ideation, remembering that the different frameworks and contexts of the design problem must combine the knowledge of several fields.
DAY 4
Design as Outsourcing and Experimentation
In component number four, participants will continue to develop their group work. After thinking of an idea, the groups will complete the design exercise, create sketches and models and discuss them to arrive at a common conclusion. Finally, the groups will make decisions about the most appropriate means to create the final project.
DAY 5
Creation of the Final Project
On the last day, the groups will finish their final projects (applying all the concepts, practices and methods acquired throughout the course) and will have the challenge of presenting their work, debating ideas and new ways of developing creative thinking.
