Overview
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In the course you will learn about multiphase and non-linear process for creative problem solving with a deep interest in developing an understanding of the people for whom the services or products are being designed. The process begins with immersion into the context of the problem that needs solving. Information gathered then is analysed and synthesized to form patterns and to develop better understanding of the problem that needs solving. Next stage is ideation where generation of innovative ideas takes place. Cycle of the process is finished by prototyping when generated ideas are transferred to physical reality, tested and validated.
Indicative time of course completion: 65 min.

Ideation 1
The purpose of this phase is to generate innovative ideas for the project theme/services being planned. To do this, the tools for synthesis created in the analysis phase are used to stimulate creativity and generate solutions that are in tune with the context of the subject in question (services planned). Indicative time of completion of unit: 10 min.

Prototyping 2
The function of Prototyping is to aid in the validation of the ideas generated, and although it is presented as one of the last phases of Human Centered Design Thinking, it can occur throughout the project simultaneously with Immersion and Ideation. Prototyping will be presented in this unit. Indicative time of completion of unit: 10 min.
