Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. Design thinking involves 5 steps: which is empathized, define, ideate, prototype, and test. The topic for our design thinking is “Systems Analysis and Design”. Systems analysis is the process of collecting and interpreting facts, identifying the problems, and decomposition of a system into its components while systems design is the process of planning a new business system or replacing an existing system by defining its components or modules to satisfy the specific requirements.
HOW WE CARRY OUT OUR DESIGN THINKING
STEP 1 : EMPATHY
Interview and Questionnaire
A stage where we reached out the community by using Instagram's question poll to collect data, conducted our survey and interview via phone calling and social media platform
STEP 2 : DEFINE
What are the problems that the interviewees have faced?
- Critical for a theft crime
- Their belongings item they mostly missed place and forget the place they put.
STEP 3 : IDEATE
Brainstorm process to generate the solution
- Rational
- Intermediate
- Radical
- Design an application which combines the functions for multiple applications into a single application
- Interfaces designs for the application
A solution for old people or anyone to remember their own belongings if they missed place or theft.
STEP 4: PROTOTYPE
- Our prototype is a set of devices with two component that alike with pentagon shape. The first component is a tracker and the second component is an alarm The material and application we used to build the prototype is paperboard, spray paint and colour pencil.
STEP 5 : TEST
WHAT SHOULD WE IMPROVE?
- Alarm Alert
- Reminder Time
- Location of Item

Reflection
Design-thinking is a way for me and my group working on together to finish the project and the prototype even we are in long distance we manage to cover all the rubric points and rush the due date together. At first, I thought that I could not manage to get this design thinking done because I don't know any of my members group as the group is randomly selected and I am the only one girl in my group. But my group treat me nicely so I manage to cooperate with them together and be friends with them. Also, this design thinking makes me become creative and innovative. However, this make me thinking outside of the box. A big thanks to my group, I hope I can see my groupmates again and work in group together again. Without them, I and my group did not manage to get the project done.
