We will use Human-centered Design (Empathic Design) to being co-creating our association. Human-centered design is a process that has been used for decades to create better products, services, experiences, cultures and organizations that keep people’s needs at the core.

You’re invited to learn about and apply human-centered design in this workshop. Using the process and tools developed by IDEO and the Stanford d.school, this workshop will introduce you to human-centered design and help you generate, prototype and test your ideas quickly. We will apply this process to address a practical problem and project.

Also take a deep dive into learning how to build your empathy skills and apply them to fostering teamwork, creativity, innovation and action.

Check List Instructions for Participants

☐ 1. Use good computer equipment:

  • ☐ Try to use Google Chrome, it works best for Google Hangouts and MURAL

  • ☐ Use as large a screen and as powerful a computer as you can! (and the fastest Internet you can find). Cell phones do not work.

  • ☐ Use a mouse. (especially with Mural). Scratch pads are hard to use in MURAL.

  • ☐ iPad may not work; best to use a regular computer.

  • ☐ Use earbuds to avoid audio feedback.

  • ☐ Try not to use WiFi but rather a direct connection for better and more reliable internet performance.

  • ☐ Agree to stay for the full workshop. We work as a team and having participants leave mid workshop disrupts the flow.

☐ 2. We use Google Hangouts On Air for Video Conferencing.
