About This Course
This is the third course in the Design Thinking for Social Change Learning Path and the last asynchronous course in this series. In this course, you will continue to expand on your Design Lens by creating a Solo Practicum using design thinking steps and methods. This course is your opportunity to bring forth a design from the heart of your own desire in a guided way. This is your first offering from thought to 'finish' using the steps, mindsets, and tools learned in courses one + two; as well as the encouragement and experience of those who have not only completed this course in-full, but also from those who work in the design field. We have never done anything, not one single thing, until we did it for the first time...it takes courage, it takes time, it takes patience, awareness and self-empathy...now get to work!
