Last Thursday, I went to Susquehanna University to teach an Entrepreneurship class about the Design Thinking Process. Before I went, I was very nervous about presenting about the Design Thinking Process and telling the students to do DTP activities, because most of them were older than me. So, it felt off having to teach others about a subject. After I did it, I realized that there’s nothing to be nervous about. Even though they’re older than you, you’re teaching them about a topic that they didn’t necessarily know about. And this doesn’t mean that I can’t learn from them either. Diving deeper into the Design Thinking Process, I realized that I found it very interesting. Yesterday, Ryan, Taylor and I were practicing for the second part of the presentation that will occur tomorrow. The more I looked at the information, the more I found it interesting. Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test. I, first, learned about the DTP in the pre-orientation program before college. However, I hadn’t understood it the way I did yesterday. I definitely don’t understand it fully, but I’m starting to realize the importance of it. So, I hope that tomorrow won’t be the end of my exploration of the Design Thinking Process. I will try to learn more about it.
