The aim of the course is to introduce the Design thinking process through focused lectures in a manner such that they can use the processes of empathy, active experimentation for creative problem solving and innovation. By learning the methods of observation, visualization, and ideation, and applying them in a process of active exploration and feedback, the learners gradually develop the confidence to work with such challenging and messy problems. Design Thinking is not an exclusive property of designers—all great innovators in literature, art, music, science, engineering, and business have practiced it. This course
