World Usability Day Design Thinking Challenge

Participate in an interactive design thinking workshop on "How might we attract more diversity in students pursuing design careers?"

IxDA Cincinnati will be honoring World Usability Day on November 11th by inviting our community to come together for a remote-based design thinking workshop, where we will guide attendees through the practice of Design Thinking to solve together, "How might we attract more diversity in students pursuing design careers in the Cincinnati region?"
Your facilitators, Amy Copelin and Cristine Cravens, will introduce the design thinking methods we'll be using in the workshop, and then breakout groups will enable you to put those skills to practice, working collaboratively in small breakout groups.
This is a fun way to learn new design thinking skills, or apply ones you're already familiar with, and network with others while solving a design challenge to benefit our shared design practice.

AGENDA
5:30 - 5:45: Introductions, announcements
