<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: transparent;">Explain the steps of design thinking to the professors. Following the explanation, engage them in activities that allow them to truly comprehend the process. One way is having them analyzes a basic concept or object with the design thinking process. For example, one could use a garbage can as the object to be analyzed. Have the staff use the design thinking process to pinpoint problems that may be associated with garbage cans and their users. After they discuss a few problems, they should the come up with some solutions such as changes that can be made to the garbage can design or use. After figuring out ideas that solve the problems, encourage the professors to prototype their solutions. It is great to have a variety of rapid prototyping supplies such as markers, paper, cardboard, glue tape, and clay at the workshop. Have them make a physical model or demonstrate a use by </span>role playing<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: transparent;">a scene. If possible, they should try to test these new designs or uses with other individuals at the workshop.</span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The tips on this Wiki were inspired by Tanner Wheadon, a University Innovation Fellow from the Spring 2015 cohort.He hosted a Design Thinking Workshop at his university, Utah Valley University, where he is studying Technology Management.Tanner also teaches small innovation workshops at UVU, sometimes even during general-ed classes. Tanner’s Design Thinking Workshop that he hosted for his university’s leadership was focused on simple cart that he had purchased through the university for about $400-$500. He filled this cart with “rapid prototyping supplies”. With this cart, Tanner essentially had a classroom with wheels! This is how he would go around to different classrooms to have innovation/design thinking workshops.</span></span>
