This course has been created to reach those who are brand new to human-centered design, so no prior experience required (though we of course welcome previous students to continue honing your human-centered design skills!)\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 style\u003e \u003c/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:rgb(0,147,187); font-size: 22px\" trebuchet=\"\" data-redactor-tag=\"span\"\u003eWhat You'll Learn:\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\" style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003eThis seven-week course will:\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003eEquip you with the mindsets and methods of human-centered design so that you can be more intentional about facing and solving your current challenges\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003eLet you experiment with the power of human-centered design\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-tag=\"span\"\u003eTeach you to identify patterns and opportunities for concept development\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-tag=\"span\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003eInspire you to approach challenges differently and experience how human-centered design can add new perspectives to your own work tackling poverty-related challenges\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-tag=\"span\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\" data-redactor-tag=\"span\"\u003eGive you hands-on experience speaking to, prototyping for, and testing solutions with the people you're designing for\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:rgb(0,147,187); font-size: 22px\" trebuchet=\"\" data-redactor-tag=\"span\"\u003eHow the Course Works:\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\n\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003eYou will work through the course with a group of 2-6 people we will refer to as your “design team\".

You will also have a choice to craft your own challenge. Each week you will explore the main human-centered design concepts through readings, case studies, and short videos. Then you'll be expected to meet in-person with your design team to get your hands dirty practicing the relevant human-centered design methods.\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003eThroughout the course you'll have the opportunity to interact and gain inspiration from design teams around the world taking the course with you and ask questions of experienced human-centered designers when you feel stuck.\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:rgb(0,147,187); font-size: 22px\" trebuchet=\"\" data-redactor-tag=\"span\"\u003eBuilding Your Design Team:\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\" style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: normal\"\u003eMany of the workshop activities will work best if your group has at least four members.
