Series Details

About

Welcome! In this series we will go through the steps that are used to "solve a problem". We will be focusing on the process of Design Thinking.

Design Thinking is a very important concept in innovation. It lays down the principles on how to continuously innovate and launch a product. It helps in creatively solving any problem. We will be covering the four key steps in Design Thinking and those are "Think" , "Make" , "Break" and "Repeat".

There are absolutely no prerequisites to attend this series! This series will cover the basics of how you can get started to innovate your own products!

I will be sharing the link to my notes in the "Public Discussion" just in case for those who can't make it.
