Design Thinking, Critical Question 1
What could happen if an innovator doesn’t test his or her prototype, and instead moves on to the production phase of a product?
“Companies are not required to provide any safety data when they notify the agency about a new chemical, and they rarely do it voluntarily…”Ian Urbina: “Think those Chemicals have been Tested?”, New York Times

Interview Planning: Introductions
Ok, so just start off with introducing yourself.
So, how are you doing?
What do you like to do for fun?
You’re a Hofstra student, right? What are some of your classes? What’s your favorite class?
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Interview Planning: Moving into Main Focus
What kind of art projects do you do? What was your favorite one?
What are some of the more difficult aspects of art?
Is there anything you wish you could change about the class? Is there anything that would make the difficult parts of it easier to manage?
Interview Planning: Main Focus
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
How do you bring your art supplies to school everyday?
Is it easy to get those supplies to class?
What do you think would make it easier to get those supplies to class?
Would making it easier to get to different locations easily with your supplies make you more motivated to do artwork?
Thank you so much for your time. Do you have any more comments about what we discussed?

Helps people with no business background use business tactics in other fields
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Goes over issues faced by most teachers
ex. Students not focusing, parents not communicating, rooms can’t promote learning for different types of students, teachers don’t cooperate
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Introduces design thinking as a “mindset,” different way of looking for solutions (pg.11)
”Human centered”- promotes “empathy” between coworkers and those affected by given system
”Collaborative”- encourages team-building
”Optimistic”- belief that change can occur
”Experimental”- allows for sharing of new ideas and embraces failure as a means to success
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Encourages “stepping out of your zone of comfort” (pg.16)
Aids in discovery of new ideas
Allows for communication between groups that wouldn’t otherwise reach out to one another
Helps break “routine”

Gives steps teachers from Ormondale Elementary School used to redesign their school:
Discovery
Interpretation
Ideation
Experimentation
Evolution
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Process begins with identifying the issue- similar to “ideation” stage from Tim Brown
List current or future problems
Keep issue as simple as possible
Work out time and financial constraints
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Notes how to “Define your Audience”- learning about all the people that will be involved/ affected by process:
People directly involved with study
Colleagues/ administrators
Outlier groups/ extremes
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Selecting Research Participants
Create specific descriptions of possible participants
Plan where interview will take place and possible activities
Take notes on interview
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Preparation for Interviews
Create question guide
Get all contact details
Have camera
Thank you gifts (if necessary)
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Using participants’ self-documentation
Helps understanding a person’s viewpoint/ experiences
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo

Interpretation
Take information and makes “insights”
“Involves storytelling”
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Methods for sharing stories:
Make dedicated space
Listen to everyone’s stories
Take bits of information and record for whole group
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
What to include in stories:
”Personal details”
Draw attention to most useful or interesting parts
“Motivations” and frustrating “barriers” of participants
How participants interacted with environment
”Remaining questions”
Design Thinking for Educators, Ideo
Design, Business, and Innovation Amanda Lastella
Putting together larger themes of findings:
Connect stories together
Show findings to others to get outside opinions
Let go of unimportant findings
