Design Thinking Bootcamp

1 recommender · 1 thread · recommended in 1 year, 2014 · score 0.7
A design thinking workshop run by Stanford's d.school (Hasso Plattner Institute of Design) that teaches a human-centered, prototype-driven process for solving problems. The commenter describes a short open in-person workshop, a PDF summary of the bootcamp materials, and a virtual crash course.
One commenter recommends it as a hands-on introduction to design thinking, especially useful for startups, and praises the quality of student work from the fuller Stanford courses.

I attended a workshop on Design Thinking, the tl;dr version is here (a PDF which I recommend especially for startups):

even better, try to get into the Stanford course (they give open, 4-hour workshops, the last one was full)

Edit: they also have a virtual "crash-course":

I was shown some of the materials students made (in full Stanford courses, not in the 4-hour introductory workshop :) ), and they were amazing.
I observed that one thing Americans have over students in my home country/culture is, they're way more likely to learn how to make awesome presentations :) .
