Objective:
The goal of the Human-Centered Design (HCD) Group Project is for you to gain hands-on
practical experience using the HCD methodology to guide the innovation process.
Timeline:
Your project will be broken into three phases (not including Phase 0), with two
deliverables, paralleling the Human-centered design methodology:
Deliverable: Send via email the members of your work groups and your innovation
topic, subject to approval by the professor.
Deliverable: Summarize your empathize and define outputs. Include summaries of (a)
description of your process, (b) your empathy findings, and (c) your challenge
definition. However, I want you to feel free to explore different ways to do this. You
could turn in a poster. You could present a photo collage. You could do a video. It
depends. What I want to see is that you implemented an empathize methodology and
were able to define the point-of-view and a meaningful challenge to further explore.
