Design Thinking process and Chapter Video Presentation

Introduction

Design thinking is crucial for solving problems in the humankind. Oneself must have design thinking to think out of the box in order to find innovative ways to solve the problems encountered and fulfill the human needs. There are 5 main stages of thinking process in design thinking, such as, 

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

 

 

5 Phases of Design thinking: Assesment Point

  • Empathize Phase

We had interviews with lecturers in different sessions and asked questions that had been prepared to get more information and knowledge about programming language as they have more experience and intelligence than us. It is always wise to ask someone who is knowledgeable and well studied in specified field. We got to know the users’ problems better.

  • Define Phase

            We had to identify the problems after knowing the problems of the users,   and define it. During this phase, we collected all the problems and figured out what their needs are and concluded what final result they are expecting.

  • Ideate Phase

            We had our group discussion in WhatsApp and also Google Meet in order to think of the solution to fulfill user needs. We had intense exchange of opinions on the solutions and finally, the conclusion was made in the solution that should be taken to solve the problems. We decided to have an update version of C language.

  • Prototype

Prototyping during pandemic period is difficult to carry out as we were at different places. Prototyping with all groups members is hard to achieve. But eventually, we managed to create the prototype, which displaying C+ code on the screen. We hoped that this prototype will help users to have a better understanding in our updated version of C.

At the end, we learn that design thinking helps us to know more about the problems in programming language faced by users. On top of that, we know how a problem is solved efficiently steps by steps in design thinking process. Moreover, we learn that prototyping is important too in product demonstrations.

Reflection

Design thinking have taught me so many things, It helps me to think creatively on how to create a new item, depending on the users needs. In other words, items created which are not solving problems of users, will remain unworthy.
