DESCRIPTION:In May\, IDEO.org and +Acumen will once again be offering the
 ir highly regarded free 9-week online course\, Design Kit: Course for Hu
 man-Centered Design. As we do regularly\, Portland Community Design Thin
 kers will be hosting a special meetup on May 6\, where we'll explain wha
 t the course is about and what you can expect from it. And for those int
 erested in participating\, we'll help you form teams of local colleagues
  with whom you can work\, which we've found vastly improves both complet
 ion rates and the experience as a whole. Created by IDEO.org for those w
 ho are relatively new to design thinking\, +Acumen's free Design Kit: Co
 urse for Human-Centered Design is probably one of the best and most imme
 rsive resources anywhere for getting up to speed on the nuts and bolts o
 f 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 this course -- you'll be on your own for that. But we're
  keen to give anyone interested a leg up in getting off to the best poss
 ible start with a group of other eager local participants\, and you're w
 elcome to use our own Slack channel for course communication and organiz
 ing\, as many groups have previously done. Read more about the course at
  the below link. In brief\, it's a nine-week online FREE curriculum that
  will introduce participants to the concepts of human-centered design an
 d how this approach can be used to create innovative\, effective\, and s
 ustainable solutions. During those nine weeks\, you'll work online (and 
 off) with a group of 2-6 people\, learning the HCD process by applying i
 t to one of three pre-crafted real world design 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 vid
 eos. Then you'll meet in-person with your design team to get your hands 
 dirty practicing the relevant human-centered design methods. Let's get a
 s many teams together as we can for the next course! Read more at this l
