Design: From Zero to Prototype on a Budget

This is a workshop that will cover many steps of the Design Thinking Methodology, taking a problem, ideating solutions, then prototyping those solutions.

No technical or design experience is required. The processes shown here can be worked into your own strengths and skills whatever those might be.

By the end of the workshop we will:

  • Participate in an Ideation Session
  • Create a paper prototype
  • Test our Solution
