Design thinking for getting
Renewable energy park approved for
office compound of an Energy Company

2. Course Reflection
Design Thinking
Try to fit in other’s shoes, while doing “empathy”,
Do it with full heart as there will be no sympathy,
When start feeling, that problem is mine,
This is the best time to go and “define”
Find non obvious ideas when “ideate”,
“Prototype” and “Test” it if you want nothing but to create,
Creative team mates, some busy and some sick,
I thank them and wish to recover very quick,
How can I forget them, they are beyond any rubric,
I hope we will be working together and some idea will click,
Prof. Leticia is awesome and Course is great,
It will be worth if I work on social issues to create.
