Contribute and Discuss Your Ideas
Before our kickoff, please think about what we could use to help us better learn about design thinking- readings, videos, discussions, activities, guests, case studies, projects- and help contribute resources and ideas here. We will go over these together and lay out a plan when we meet the first time. If you have an idea for a plan, go ahead and start suggesting / discussing it here.
Keep in mind that even if we end up doing many different things in our own time between meetings, we'll all want to agree to a certain number of things to do together in-person for about six meetings or more: activities or discussions that some of us will volunteer to help plan and facilitate. So keep that in mind when you are thinking of ideas.
Here's what a few of you have already suggested.
