This is what we call empathy:<br><br>{{#widget:Youtube|id=I_P4AgAoA5Y|width=75%}}<br><br>For your challenge, the most relevant people to talk to are first-year students, but you could also talk to second-year students who still have their first year experience fresh in their minds. You also were a first-year at some point (or perhaps still are), but we want you to seek and understand the perspective of someone other than you.<br><br>In the video above where we introduced the challenge you saw Leticia talking to an incoming student who had just arrived to Stanford. Likewise, you will interview students at your campus to find out more about their experience as first-year students (you'll get more instructions below).<br><br>Once you have collected information by directly talking to other students, you will select what you find most interesting and surprising. Based on that, you will frame opportunities to improve the students' first-year experience.<br><br>Watch the following video to learn more about this part of the process (which requires that you practice what it's called "abductive thinking"):<br><br>{{#widget:Youtube|id=-Fn63Zji44U|width=75%}}<br><br>}}<br>{{Content-A|color=#5F574F|title=Step 2: Generate Novel Solutions - Ideate|content=<br>Once you have framed an opportunity (in the form of a "How Might We…" question), it's time to generate solutions for that opportunity. This is where creativity comes in. Are YOU creative?<br><br>Watch the video below and do the embedded short activity to explore that question.<br><br>{{#widget:Youtube|id=E24UJtPpxZQ|width=75%}}<br><br>Before you continue, do this exercise. You will need to print (or reproduce) [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hEFFRy5mRH0yRCl6iH2qi4CvITvzvwjp/view this], and a pen. After you do the exercise, reflect on the results you obtained:<br><br>{{#widget:Youtube|id=aTicPwh0BdA|width=75%}}<br><br>Of course you are creative! We all are, but we need to practice getting in the right mindset: in order to generate ideas, you need to suspend judgement (of your ideas and the ideas offered by others). The following short video shows a team of students from a d.school class collaborating on generating solutions for an opportunity they identified:<br><br>{{#widget:Youtube|id=JA0caCOYOL0|width=75%}}<br><br>As you can see by the number of post-its on their board, they have already generated many ideas and their attitude is to accept any idea someone in the team suggests -- no matter how crazy it may sound -- because that leads to less inhibition and self-censoring and the flow of ideas increases. You don't have to come up with the perfect idea right away. Most ideas that end up being really successful will be a combination of other ideas that initially do not sound that great. So what you need is to generate lots of ideas. Ultimately, <u>your ideas will evolve and be evaluated later (during prototyping and testing).</u><br><br>{{Fmbox|image=none|text=On [[2020:Training/Toolkit (Ideation)|this page]] you will find more tips on how to collaborate with others to generate ideas (what is often referred to as "brainstorming").}}}}<br>{{Content-A|color=#5F574F|title=Step 3: Make Ideas Real - Prototype and Test|content=<br>When your goal is to come up with innovative solutions, you may be proposing ideas that are new and unfamiliar to others. Prototyping is a way of making your ideas tangible, so that you can better communicate them to others, and find out quickly if they have potential and you should dedicate more time and resources to develop them further. Also, in the process of building and testing prototypes, your ideas will evolve as you uncover details that you had not thought of when your idea was a more abstract thought in your head.<br><br>{{#widget:Youtube|id=eSGoSKu6DoM|width=75%}}<br><br>There are many different techniques for rapid prototyping, and you can prototype anything (products, services, experiences, etc.). The best method to use will depend on the nature of the idea you want to test, and the questions you want to answer. Read more about prototyping methods here.<br><br>In the following video, entrepreneur and former Googler Tom Chi, shows how rapid prototyping can be applied to different types of projects:<br><br>{{#widget:Youtube|id=DkyMCCnNI3Q|width=75%}}

Now After you are equipped with have completed all of the work in the right mindsets and tools Training Workspace Mural, now it’s time to put design thinking into practice. Remember that submit your goal for this assignment is ! The instructions on what to identify opportunities to improve submit are at the experience bottom of first-year students at your school, and come up with potentially innovative solutions.<br><br>This assignment has two deliverables. Start by creating a Google doc in the mural ([https://driveapp.googlemural.comco/drivet/foldersqfwfq7288/1BrL69LY4am/qfwfq7288/1598223219061/7a4dce4be533ae0b553624f591b835daaaaa9795?wid=0-Pe1Cu4bQ6uaKcDbEH1n2JZ your campus Google Drive folder1598758236793 here], name it "Session 2 Assignment - [the name of your school]", and include all deliverables in that document. Make sure that the document permissions are set to "anyone with the link can comment", so your uiguide and the UIF team can access the doc and give you feedback).

*If you are part of a Leadership Circle, this is a TEAM assignment, and one member of the team should post the report relevant link on the Training Updates page in the UIF Portal on behalf of the whole team (more instructions on posting . Instructions are in the assignment later).*When you meet with your uiguide this week, ask for feedback. SpecificallyTraining Mural, you should discuss at the opportunity statement you framed (and make sure you don't have a solution embedded, or it is too vague), before moving on to brainstorming solutionsbottom of Session 2.*'''Due September 1913:''' post your final report on the Training Updates page of the UIF portal (visit the [[2020:Training/Submitting Assignments|Submitting Assignments]] page for more on how to submit your assignment.)}}{{Fmbox|image=none|text=IMPORTANT: This project week’s challenge is NOT meant to become you your UIF project, but it will allow you to learn methods, skills, and mindsets and methods that will be useful as you define and tackle that project -- which will be informed by what you learn by doing the Landscape Canvas on the next session (and beyond.) Of course, it may be is very likely that insights that you discover that first year students are this week and key stakeholders that you need connect with are important to consider in for your project. Having impact on students early on has a great 'return on investment.'}}}}As you move forward with UIF training, you will have the opportunity to continue applying design thinking mindsets and methods to the UIF projects you will develop and implement.

Hope We hope you enjoyed your design thinking adventure! You will find LOTS of resources (readings, videos, books) on design thinking on On [[https://universityinnovation.org/wiki/2020:Training/Design Thinking Design_Thinking_(Resources and StoriesResources_and_Stories)|this page]] (you will find lots of resources -- readings, videos, books -- to continue developing as a design thinker. You can also access it this page anytime from the sidebar menu -- "DESIGN THINKING: resources and stories." on the sidebar menu. Also, in Session 4 you will have the opportunity to apply design thinking to the UIF projects you will start to develop, going deeper into prototyping, which we covered only briefly on this session.
