In this class, you will go through 4 main steps in the Design Process:
Discover: You will learn about a topic or problem through research and interviewing others.
Ideate: Using the insights you have developed, you will brainstorm ideas to test.
Prototype: You will build a model of your app to test and get feedback on.
Share: You will present your app and reflect on your experience.
