During this session, you learned how to discover opportunities for innovation based on developing empathy for the people involved. You conducted interviews and used a framework we provided to go from interview data to actionable opportunities, which required you to generate inferences/hypotheses. Based on the opportunities you identified, you generated at least many possible ideas for solutions and tested a few of them.<br><br>
We saw lots of great opportunities for change! Here are a few ideas that emerged to support students’ social and emotional well-being:
<br><br>
* Virtual study buddies
* Emergency funds for students who are struggling financially
* Mandatory wellness checks, with resources available for students to learn how to de-stress
* “No internet” days
* Daily warm-up activities
* Individual learning plans for students
* Pen pals
* Cooking with faculty
* Online office hours with pets
* Self-knowledge course
* Wilderness reflection experience
* “Oprah-style” PPE give-away
* Daily reflections
<br><br>
Also, as part of the learning experience for this session, you watched the documentary Extreme By Design, which follows a group of students taking a d.school class called “Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability” (or Extreme, for short). Based on your comments in the discussion forum, the film was an eye-opener.
<br><br>
Many of you commented in the [[2020 talk:Forum/Extreme By Design|forum]] about how the film depicted the challenges and opportunities that come with working in a new team, and with those from different backgrounds and disciplines.
<br><br>
Blake from Virginia Tech said “Only a few members were trained engineers, but all played an important role in product development. Also, it was important that the teams felt uncomfortable together. I think that UIF highlights the importance of being uncomfortable together.”<br><br>
Others shared their thoughts on the Design Thinking process. Harrison from the University of Technology Sydney shared this thought, which several others who commenting on the idea of solutions introducing new problems.
