1. What did you learn about we are doing in this studio for the semester? Did anything stand out as something that you like/dislike?

From the first class, I have learned that we will be working with the Learning Community Charter School with the goal of innovating learning for children through creating an Earth Day experience for for the Community Partner Baykeeper. What stood out the most to me was the amount of opportunities and possibilities this project will provide. It is both exciting and daunting but I look forward to being challenged.

2. What did you learn about Design Thinking?

Design Thinking is a processed in which a problem is confronted. I learned that before going in for the solution, steps should be taken so that the problem and is well defined and sufficient research is done. Also, I learned that it is a continuous process of prototyping, testing, evaluating, and then starting over from prototyping. I found the exercise from class useful in understanding the process of this technique.
