1
00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:03,512
This is sort of a bigger,
more hairy problem,

2
00:00:03,512 --> 00:00:05,670
as you'll see from her TED talk.

3
00:00:05,671 --> 00:00:07,200
You're also watching a TED talk

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,417
from Tyrone Poole;
he's a PCC alum.

5
00:00:10,417 --> 00:00:14,370
He is also currently
continuing his work

6
00:00:14,370 --> 00:00:17,250
that you will see,
that he launches, um,

7
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:19,410
talks about launching
in the TED talk,

8
00:00:19,410 --> 00:00:21,990
and it is also--

9
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:26,700
it's a very specific part
of the homelessness problem

10
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:29,177
that he is trying to address.

11
00:00:29,177 --> 00:00:33,780
So-- but you don't have to uncover
some big, hairy problem.

12
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:35,640
So let me give you an example.

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,160
I had a student last year

14
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,497
in this class who was a veteran.

15
00:00:40,497 --> 00:00:42,090
He had been on crutches

16
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:44,981
because of multiple surgeries
on a leg,

17
00:00:44,981 --> 00:00:49,680
and he talked about
all of the different problems

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,409
he was having with these crutches,

19
00:00:51,409 --> 00:00:53,040
how they didn't work
for them-- him,

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,770
how they were causing pain,

21
00:00:54,770 --> 00:00:58,829
how they weren't
adequately adjustable,

22
00:00:58,830 --> 00:01:00,119
how he couldn't fold them up,

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,069
how they were too heavy.

24
00:01:02,070 --> 00:01:05,491
So, this is-- this--
you could just be digging

25
00:01:05,491 --> 00:01:07,574
into a simple problem

26
00:01:07,574 --> 00:01:10,319
with, you know, somebody
in your life,

27
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,482
and, um,
and it doesn't need to be anything

28
00:01:13,482 --> 00:01:16,289
that's super complex, okay?

29
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:18,149
But that is
what you're going to be using

30
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:20,271
this Design Thinking worksheet
to do.

31
00:01:20,271 --> 00:01:22,019
I'm now going to pop back over

32
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:25,682
to the second set
of presentation slides

33
00:01:25,682 --> 00:01:27,659
that are provided
for you this week

34
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:30,243
that help walk you
through these steps,

35
00:01:30,243 --> 00:01:32,140
step-by-steps.

36
00:01:32,140 --> 00:01:35,440
As you interview someone,
uncover a problem,

37
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,325
and then start to ideate,

38
00:01:37,325 --> 00:01:40,880
start to create
a potential solution.

39
00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:47,541
So, as I said before,

40
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:50,110
this is an approach

41
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:53,295
to up-- to figuring out,

42
00:01:53,295 --> 00:01:57,074
identifying and figuring out
human needs and problems, okay?

43
00:01:57,074 --> 00:01:59,200
So you're interviewing someone,

44
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,421
and you're trying to,
first of all,

45
00:02:02,421 --> 00:02:05,890
spend, probably,
the majority of your time

46
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:08,710
understanding
exactly what the problem is

47
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:12,058
that they're experiencing,
or the unmet need that they have,

48
00:02:12,058 --> 00:02:14,057
because until you understand this,
right,

49
00:02:14,057 --> 00:02:18,069
we talked about this last week
in our discussion,

50
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:21,039
that until you
really understand a problem,

51
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,669
you can't start to figure out how--
how to address it

52
00:02:24,670 --> 00:02:26,367
or how to solve it.

53
00:02:26,367 --> 00:02:30,129
So there are five phases
in the Design Thinking process.

54
00:02:30,130 --> 00:02:32,829
What we're going to be doing
with the worksheet

55
00:02:32,829 --> 00:02:34,869
and in this activity this week

56
00:02:34,870 --> 00:02:37,509
are-- is just focusing
on the first three.

57
00:02:37,510 --> 00:02:39,129
Now, could you keep going?

58
00:02:39,129 --> 00:02:42,124
Say you come up
with a really awesome problem,

59
00:02:42,124 --> 00:02:45,519
a really good problem,
and you have some amazing ideas

60
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,959
about how to address it.

61
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,989
Maybe you do want to keep going
and prototype it, you know,

62
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:52,869
buil-- you know, maybe have
a product concept, a service concept,

63
00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:55,255
and you want to keep going,
go for it.

64
00:02:55,255 --> 00:02:58,676
I absolutely encourage students
to do that.

65
00:03:01,779 --> 00:03:05,679
So again,
part 1 of this is just talking,

66
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,809
having an initial conversation

67
00:03:07,810 --> 00:03:09,999
with the person
that you're interviewing,

68
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,839
trying to talk about a problem

69
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,279
that they
have personally experienced,

70
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:18,324
have first hand knowledge of,

71
00:03:18,324 --> 00:03:22,299
something that's specific
and simple, okay?

72
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,059
Your job as the interviewee
is to be asking them

73
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:29,349
as many questions as you can,
to gain empathy, right?

74
00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:31,659
Not just to listen to what they are saying,

75
00:03:31,660 --> 00:03:36,309
but to listen to how they're saying it, to dig into, you know,

76
00:03:36,310 --> 00:03:38,859
questions about how did they feel when this was happening?

77
00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:41,349
Why was this frustrating?

78
00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:45,549
What wasn't working, what exactly, you know,

79
00:03:45,550 --> 00:03:49,359
how is this impacting them, okay?

80
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,379
So you're-- you're really trying to see the problem

81
00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:55,959
through their eyes and with the feelings

82
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,409
that they have had when they've experienced this, okay?

83
00:03:59,410 --> 00:04:02,349
So you're going to be filling out as much as you can

84
00:04:02,350 --> 00:04:07,469
in the-- in step 1 of the worksheet.

85
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:10,649
Then the next step is, how much deeper

86
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:14,399
can you dig into this, okay?

87
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,879
And also, how can you check your assumptions

88
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,379
when you're asking questions,

89
00:04:19,380 --> 00:04:22,078
when you're trying to understand this problem?

90
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,179
Also, try to dig into the causes

91
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:30,449
or what exact-- and what exactly it is

92
00:04:30,450 --> 00:04:32,339
that is frustrating about this.

93
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:35,009
Is it the context? Does it have something to do

94
00:04:35,010 --> 00:04:37,859
with access, or accessibility to something?

95
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:39,990
Does it have to do with affordability?
