Design Thinking Workshop for 26 students of Nizamabad
Posted on Wednesday, November 05, 2014 by LEAD
Students of Nizamabad were excited and interested for the Design
Thinking workshop as it was the first time to experience the workshop.
Mr Aditya CEO of Innovation 101 was the key person to make the
students, design their own thinking in a unique way. He introduced about
himself about his growth and the challenges he faced during his career which
was then followed by showing them the video on Innovation through which the
students were inspired and motivated. Mr.Aditya spoke a bit on the video due to
which the students felt the actual necessities of innovation in our Nation.
26 students were divided into groups of two members each, and
then were asked to know each other well and also understand the issues or
problems that the students face in their day to day life. The facilitator then
made it more interesting by asking each one of them to find the solution for the
problems of the other person and then asked to note the feedback about the
solution. The activity made the students to enter in to the procedural pattern
of Design thinking and innovation.
Leaders were again divided back into several groups of 5 members
in each group. The next task was to visit the NGO in nearby cities. The students
went to their respective fields and came with various aspects which they observed
and noticed there. Groups were then asked to present the observations made by
them on which the students got the necessary feedback and addressed the
queries.
Mr Aditya then continued interacting with the students
discussing more deeply into the aspects like observations made by the students,
problems that occurred and the solutions to the problems and he also gave the
complete idea about Crisp statements and few relevant examples. The
Leaders were asked to do the documentation of the observations made by them and
the thoughts they had. The students were excited to know the next outcome of it
and were ready to take up the documentation details and come prepared the next
day.
The second day students
were present with full of excitement and zeal to know the next step in design
thinking. Initially the facilitator explained the students how to work on a procedural
way of excel sheets comprising some aspects like observation, problem
specification, and how to bring the outcome, in order to make the common person
understand easily which may also help the innovator to solve all these
documented things even after few days or a long gap.
Students then
witnessed a Skype session with bio medical engineer Mr. Manish Arora from Bangalore.
Manish spoke about various trends that are emerging in technological field like
Arduino and 3D printing to give clarification on student’s queries.
The day then continued
with the session by Mr Aditya to validate the observations and the problems
which they had seen. The ratings or validation process for observations was
done in a procedural manner by evaluating team’s interest, social impact,
technical feasibility and business viability. The observation that got more
ratings would be considered as a prototype and then will be worked on solutions
for the same. Mr Aditya conducted team building activities for the students, to
make them regain their energy.
At the end of the day, the facilitator had taken
up brain storming session, in which he had taken a problem and asked students
to give solutions in their own way, this made students to think and lots of
ideas got generated by students with a short time span. The students were
amazed to know their own potential and strengths. The facilitator then asked the students to
stay focused on the problems that they have identified and find the solutions
to them which would help them to think further at the same time contribute to
the nation.
