This course prepares students for full-scale graduate thesis development. Students will review their venture’s purpose and opportunity, expand understanding of user and community needs, and uncover insights to drive key design decisions and chart new territories of value. Throughout the semester, students will initiate a habit of iterative design thinking and making to move their venture through phases of low- to high-fidelity sketches/proof-of-concepts/prototypes, in preparation for an eventual pilot and viable launch.
