The Introduction to Entrepreneurial Design Thinking program provides participants with an intensive, “hands-on” course focusing on the contemporary design thinking concepts and tools applied to generate innovative solutions to an important marketplace and/or community problems.
The program consists of 6 2-hour sessions. The sessions will be Thursdays from February 20 to March 26, 2020, from 6 to 8 p.m.
During the program, participants will learn how to:
- Identify and define a major problem to be solved
- Engage real customers to better understand the problem from their perspective
- Generate multiple solutions, then choose a solution to test with real customers
- Create an action plan based on customer feedback
- Present their solution idea to the relevant stakeholders
Participants who complete the course can work in teams to apply for a $10,000 or $5,000 NeON Workforce Development Grant. Two grants will be awarded.
