Want to exercise your ability to create radical solutions to complex problems? Are you interested in Design Thinking and other methodologies? Join us!

In this special Campus Startup School session within the Google Experts Summit Program, we will learn from Monica Walsh, Chief of Staff at Google, who will guide you through this interactive engaging workshop lab where you will participate in a full cycle of the Design Think process that is typical at Google. We will work in small groups as we move through facilitated exercises that will help you practice and develop your "10X thinking."

In line with Google values, there are three key principles that will guide the Design Think Lab:
-know the user (empathy)
-think 10x (ideation)
-be prototype-driven (implementation)

The underlying mindsets of this process are: radical collaboration, human centered, mindful of process, bias towards action, culture of prototyping, and show don’t tell.

Program Learning Objectives will help participants:
-Find out what it takes to go from ill-defined problems to well-designed solutions
-Practice observation and interviewing techniques to develop empathy with users to generate insights
-Use brainstorming methods to generate creative ideas
-Prototype ideas rapidly
-Experiment to test and validate prototypes
-Learn how to use time effectively while immersed in creative activities

The workshop takes participants through a full cycle of the Design Thinking (DT) framework. The session is highly interactive, with hands-on application (learn by doing).

Don't miss this opportunity! Only for 30 people max.

The event will be held in english.

IMPORTANT: The event will be hosted in the Campus Madrid Classroom. The venue has limited space, so please come on time to make sure you have a place.
