Participants crafted and reframed a problem or opportunity statement. They created a design persona and practiced human-centered design thinking with others to generate and narrow down many options for solutions to create a testable prototype. They practiced user experience research techniques to collaborate in small groups to revise the prototype and identified what to look for when moving the project through the phases of prototyping to potential field testing and preliminary piloting.
