applications were what you sent to college; and Skype for most people
was typo."

Concept 1:

My training and experience provided me an opportunity to learn and work with IDEO.
Ideation, Prototyping
Concept 2:
Team-Based Learning
Research Team
Concept 3:
Human-Centered Design
Characterizing a Design ThinkerEmpathy. They can imagine the world from multiple perspectives – those of colleagues, client, end users, and customers.
Integrative thinking. They not only rely on analytical processes but also exhibit the ability to see all of the salient – and sometime contradictory – aspects of a confounding problem and create novel solutions that go beyond and dramatically improve on existing alternatives.
Optimism. They assume that no matter how challenging the constraints of a given problem, at least one potential solution is better than the existing alternatives.
Experimentalism. Design thinkers pose questions and explore constraints in creative ways that proceed in entirely new directions.
Collaboration. The increasing complexity of products, services, and experiences has replaced the myth of the lone genius with the reality of the enthusiastic interdisciplinary collaborator.
Tim Brown, Design Thinking (Harvard Business Review, June 2008)

multiple people have mentioned it.”
