What If You Could Invent the Next Big Thing? — Building Products That People Love.
Learning objectives:
Spot a problem worth solving — identify everyday challenges and opportunities.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes — understand people's real needs through empathy.
Turn an idea into something useful — create a solution to a real problem.
Give people a reason to choose your product — understand alternatives and what makes an idea different.
Test, learn and make it better — appreciate the importance of feedback and continuous improvement.
Every student leaves with not just a better understanding of how great products are created, but also the confidence that they can come up with ideas to solve problems themselves.
