Design Thinking - Juniors

Welcome Freshmen - Class Of 2019

Our Junior class worked hard to welcome our new Freshmen class to Multimedia by creating a welcome video. The purpose of this design challenge was to help students develop a sense of empathy for the challenges students face in their high school daily life experiences. This brief asked our Juniors;  “How Might We Create A Way To Make New Freshman Feel at Ease in our shop? Students used our 5-step Design Thinking Model (Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test)  from Stanford University.

The Bloopers.




A welcome package containing a sketchbook and survival guide were given as gifts to our new freshman.






Our design thinking (problem solving) course is based on Stanford University's Design School (d school). The d school is a hub for innovators at Stanford. Students and faculty in engineering, medicine, business, law, the humanities, sciences, and education find their way here to take on the world’s messy problems together. We know that our students at BVT will have no problem tackling these problems too

The five phases to the design thinking process are: See our Design Thinking page Phase 1 - Empathize: The objective of this lesson was to engage students with the empathizing phase of the design process. In order to define the problem, we need to ask why? Understanding and  empathizing with the user brings us closer to that question, why? This ultimately lends itself to building a better product. After reading the following fake news bulletin, students were divided into teams and then asked to write down all of the things that a high school student would need in their bedroom.   See our Design Thinking page In order to further engage students in the empathy process, students created hamster profiles. Phase 2 - Define: Students were asked to list the needs of their hamster. Phase 3 - Ideate: On the Smart Board and then in assigned groups, students brainstormed via concept mapping.   If I were a hamst
