Q2. What's Your Problem? Introduction

15. Design Thinking

INTRODUCTION

In this Quest, you will begin the design thinking process by identifying problems to solve. To discover real-world problems you’ll need to use empathy to listen and observe all sides of a problem.

Ultimately, you will define the problem, criteria, and constraints for the solution.
