As we've done often in the past\, Portland Comm unity Design Thinkers will be hosting a special meetup on Jan. 16 to hel p facilitate the creation of teams for all members who wish to join the course. \;\n \;\nCreated by IDEO.org for those who are relatively new to design thinking\, +Acumen's free Design Kit: Course for Human-Cen tered Design is probably one of the best and most immersive resources an ywhere for getting up to speed on the nuts and bolts of HCD. This meetup is specifically for those interested in learning more about the course and helping to form working teams. Please note PCDT is *not* managing th is course -- you'll be on your own for that. But we're keen to give anyo ne interested a leg up in getting off to the best possible start with a group of other eager local participants\, and participants are welcome t o use our own Slack channel for course communication and organizing\, as many groups have previously done. \;\n \;\nRead more about the co urse at the below link. \;\n \;\nIn brief\, it's a nine-week onlin e FREE curriculum that will introduce participants to the concepts of hu man-centered design and how this approach can be used to create innovati ve\, effective\, and sustainable solutions. \;\nDuring those nine wee ks\, you'll work online (and off) with a group of 2-6 people\, learning the HCD process by applying it to one of three pre-crafted real world de sign challenges. (You'll also have a choice to craft your own challenge. ) Each week you will explore the fundamental concepts through readings\, case studies\, and short videos. Then you'll meet in-person with your d esign team to get your hands dirty practicing the relevant human-centere d design methods. \;\n \;\nLet's get as many teams together as we can for the next course!
