DSIL Challenge #3
Using Human Centered Design Tools in Real Life!
About Challenge #3
The Challenge
#1. We have been talking a lot about human-centered design and design thinking and the knowledge within these two categories is vast.
If you feel like you have a solid understanding of the foundations of these elements, fantastic! If you need a refresher or more knowledge, click here for a short video on it.
Want to go deeper? Download the IDEO.org HCD Field Guide here for free and really get to know what it may look like in the field.
#2 The methodology of Human- Centered Design is best practiced by IDEO.org and the d.school at Standford. Both of those organizations have built toolboxes with methods that can guide you to understand the problem you are working towards, and the solution in a more clear way that holds value in building something forward with sustainability and impact.
This challenge asks you to pick one of the tools from either one of these places and go out in your community to do it.
#3 After you do it- you are required to write a 500 word blog on how it went. What you are noticing about human-centered design, or even how the tool can be improved?! Click below and scroll through the methods until you find one you are willing to try out on the ground.
