What is Design Thinking?
Design thinking is a tool for solving complex problems. It's a process that offers a new way of seeing and operating in the world and it starts with people. Design thinking asks us to work together to address everyday challenges in creative ways.
As a design thinker you practice human-centered observation, critical research and analysis, innovation, and experimentation. With an emphasis on empathy and testing ideas, the principles of design thinking are useful no matter your background, major, or future career aspirations.
“This program is a great way to learn, gain experiences that will make you a better student, and make some friends. Being a part of something big is really rewarding. I got involved in the Design Thinking Challenge because I care about sustainability, I wanted to get involved at the UA, and I wanted to make some new friends. It was a great choice; I got to do all of those things!”
