There are three major groups to interact with that will enable the support for creating a design thinking course:</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-2f830c3c-62f2-83fb-3e01-53c59515bdf0"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Getting a large audience on board is an important step. It is the responsibility of the organizers to make sure to evoke interest in students through interactive exercises and fun-filled activities. Word of mouth plays a critical role in these endeavours, so make sure students leave the class with fervor for design thinking and inspire more students to join the class.</span></span>

Whether the course is taught by fellows or by faculty, both parties must be in communication so to revise the course and continuously prepare students for the major studies. Working with these professors will eventually lead us to the right people and help create change. </span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-2f830c3c-62f2-83fb-3e01-53c59515bdf0"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Administration can be difficult to receive support from. Faculty support and student interests are powerful rhetorics in this instance. Receiving financial support from the school is also crucial to providing classroom resources and materials. In previous years, resources for a design thinking course have been conservative and have included low-cost rapid prototyping materials of the likes of post-its, paper, tape, and scissors.</span></span>
