This document discusses applying design thinking to turn ideas into reality. It provides 3 key takeaways: start doing and learning, understand users by talking to them, and that design thinking can be applied by anyone to solve problems. The process map is explained and reflection shares how design thinking puts users' needs first by building empathy. Applying it at home involves understanding family needs, and at work includes redesigning workshops and putting customers at the center.
Dave is a high school teacher responsible for advising 190 senior students on careers and life after school. However, he feels ill-equipped for this role due to a lack of clear guidelines on his responsibilities versus the careers advisor, no budget, and being overwhelmed by the large volume of information from various sources. The students also feel scared and confused by the transition process. The problem is that both teachers and students find it difficult to navigate the overwhelming amount of information needed to assist with the school to work transition.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Lee-Anne Walker developed prototypes for two ideas to help senior high school students transition from school to work: 1) Workshops led by experts covering career exploration, CV/interview preparation, and mentorship; and 2) An online portal providing a one-stop resource for career guidance, simulations, and connections to employers. Both prototypes were demonstrated to and received positive feedback from the stakeholder, a teacher, though some questions were raised. Further refinement of the prototypes and testing with additional stakeholders was recommended before pursuing implementation.
