Innovation and Design Thinking
Learn to Innovate with
Design Thinking.
Design Thinking is an innovative approach to problem solving that emphasizes creativity and user-centricity. In this course, students will learn to use Design Thinking to generate creative solutions to real-world problems. Through a combination of lectures, activities, and hands-on exercises, students will learn the basics of Design Thinking, including the five stages of the process, the tools used to facilitate the process, and how to develop innovative solutions. By the end of the course, students will have the skills and knowledge to apply Design Thinking to their own creative endeavors.
Outcomes
of the program!
Participants can expect to have a deep understanding of design thinking principles and be able to apply them to generate innovative solutions. They will also be able to effectively collaborate with diverse teams and effectively communicate their ideas to a wide range of stakeholders. Furthermore, participants will develop a growth mindset, embracing uncertainty and embracing failure as opportunities for learning and growth. The outcomes of this course will empower individuals to approach problem-solving with confidence, creativity and empathy, making them valuable assets in any organization.

Stay Connected!!
An online student innovation community is an excellent way to solve regional problems. It leverages the collective knowledge and experience of students from around the region to develop creative solutions to regional issues. The community is an open platform for students to share their ideas and provide feedback on each other’s ideas. It can be used to develop strategies, collect data, and share resources. It is a great way to bring together like-minded students from different backgrounds and locations and collaborate to develop solutions to regional problems.
