Welcome!

Hello @shahgame, I'm so excited to teach you about Design Thinking! 😄

This repository will be a working website that you can publish as your own Design Thinking landing page.

As we work, we'll create a resource that others can use within your organization. This repository will be useful even after you finish this course.

This is how this course will move along:

• Every new issue or pull request will start with a challenge question
• You'll answer the challenge question (don't worry, there are no right or wrong answers!)
• The question will highlight the importance of each topic in Design Thinking
• The related Pull Request will add the resources for that topic to the toolkit
• When we're finished, we'll publish the toolkit using GitHub Pages

Answer :crystal_ball:

Design Thinking does not focus on technology. It is human-centric. It puts people first, before thinking about technology, to enable them to achieve more.

This approach leads to more meaningful and innovative solutions, regardless of industry.

You can find your next steps in the first pull request.

Answer :crystal_ball:

There are many important ideas and principles when utilizing Design Thinking. At its core though, it's User-Centric. Therefore the most important characteristic of a solution is that it meets the needs of the User. To ensure solutions achieve this objective, the three fundamental principles of Design Thinking guide teams through the process of defining the MVP, and then iteratively improving and enhancing it to achieve the final product.

These three principles are:

1. Empathy
2. Ideation
3. Experimentation

You'll read more detail about these principles when reviewing this pull request. The most important thing to know is that these three principles translate into the five phases of Design Thinking:

1. Empathize
2. Define
3. Ideate
4. Prototype
5. Test
