    Description
    Introduction to design thinking as a process for creative problem solving. Design thinking includes empathy, ideation, and experimentation: empathy is essential to understanding the needs of those being designed for; ideation enables designers to generate a lot of ideas through brainstorming; experimentation tests those ideas with prototyping.
