DEVE-2039Design Thinking for Social Innovation
In this case- and land-based foundational course, students will be introduced to the concept of “design thinking.” They will learn to place the needs and interests of our ecosystem at the centre of the process and why this is essential to success in social innovation. They will learn how to cultivate creative confidence in themselves, their colleagues, their clients, and the community. They will explore the process of iteration and prototyping an idea from an initial concept to a working model. While engaging collaboratively with community members, students will learn the tools and techniques for co-design.
