Design Thinking Workshop: 2^nd of October, 09:30-16:00, Student Project House (ETH Zentrum campus)
The goal of the workshop was to allow participants to discuss their first ideas and to receive feedback in order to investigate their solution further. A design thinking approach led by a professional helped participants develop ideas by changing perspectives and thinking out of the box. Activities like mind mapping, out-of-the-box thinking exercises, and idea shaping were presented. The goal was to understand the process to follow during Energy Now! 3.0 to address the challenges. The outcome of the event was a work plan that the teams proposed to the respective mentors.
