Description The overall objective of the Group Project is to allow students to apply the principles of Design Thinking to a real-world problem, develop problem-solving skills, and work collaboratively in a group setting. In Group Project Part I, you will select a topic from the list of suggested topics or propose a similar one. Then, you will define the selected topic as a design challenge and create an outline of a design thinking project that aims to address the design challenge. Part I should also include a group work contract that details the tasks and responsibilities of each team member for the components detailed in the outline. Please keep in mind that most components of design thinking projects require a collaborative approach, meaning all team members should contribute equally to the project components. Instructions General Requirements: Part I must be around 1000 words long and consist of a brief introduction to the selected topic, a clear description of the problem as a design challenge, a well-prepared outline for the design thinking project, and the group work contract. The sources should be cited according to APA style. Topic Selection: Choose a topic from the list below. Alternatively, you may select a different topic that must be approved by the instructor. Design Challenge: Frame your problem as a design challenge based on the learning activity Unit 4. Be clear, specific, and focused. Outline: Create a detailed outline of your project, briefly indicating the focus of each component of the design thinking process. Group Work Contract: Clearly define tasks and responsibilities each team member will undertake and the deadlines for completing the tasks.
