Define Your Purpose, Define Your Life: Steps to Discovering Your Path
This Challenge provides an essential introduction to finding your purpose and developing your own personal mission statement. Identifying your purpose will help you navigate your path throughout your life.
A major part of the challenge is to share your personal mission statement with others. This is particularly important as feedback will help you to grow.
In this milestone, you´ll get familiar with your real-world case study topic (sustainable micro-mobility, sustainable consumption or robotics). The introductory lesson on brainstorming methods will help you and your peers to develop an initial idea about which aspect of the problem space you want to explore.
In this milestone, you'll dive into the discovery phase of a design project. With our lessons you'll be able to identify the different phases of a design process and to develop a guiding design research question.
In this milestone, you'll explore a new subject area, understand product environments and use processes, and identify potentials and problems. With our lessons you'll be able to select suitable desk research methods, such as stakeholder mapping and environmental analysis, and you'll be able to conduct them on your own.
After having conducted your desk research, you will present your insights to your peers and mentors. Backed up with their feedback you will refine your design research question and insight landscape.
In this milestone, you'll get to know four key methods for user research and corresponding analysis methods to conduct rigorous research and gain valuable insights. You will decide on the appropriate methods to apply in your own research process.
Backed up with all the knowledge, you'll conduct your own user research and analyze it. You'll share your experiences in a discussion with your peers.
In this milestone, you'll learn how to derive key insights from your research and condense them into a consistent problem definition. You'll summarize your whole research process, insights and problem definition in a pitch presentation to experts and industry mentors.
