AI x Design Thinking Workshop Series

Learn how and when to use AI during the design thinking process

Join us for our beginner-friendly AI workshop series, designed specifically for those new to generative AI. You’ll learn the basics of AI tools and how to use them for idea generation, research synthesis, and prototyping. This practical workshop is a safe and supportive space for hands-on experience with AI tools, techniques, and mindsets. With a focus on helping you take the first steps in integrating AI into the design thinking process, you'll walk away with foundational skills and actionable strategies.

This workshop series includes a mix of live sessions with self-paced resources. The seven live sessions provide a combination of foundational knowledge, demonstrations, and opportunities to practice and interact with your peers. The self-paced resources allow you to expand your understanding, connect with others, and explore additional content. Together, these components offer a flexible, engaging learning experience, whether you’re seeking inspiration, community, or further exploration.

If you cannot attend the live workshop, setting the stage and the demo sessions will be recorded and accessible to enrolled students until the course close date. Reach out to hello@ideou.com with any questions.

    Module 1: Foundations of AI and Design Thinking

    Kick off the series with a foundational discussion on how AI enhances design thinking, emphasizing collaborative, responsible, explorer, and human-centered mindsets.
    LIVE SESSION: Setting the Stage
    • This live session introduces the key mindsets that will guide your engagement with AI throughout the series. You’ll learn how Generative AI differs from other types of AI, explore its evolving capabilities, and reflect on how it can augment your creative process without replacing human ingenuity.

    Module 2: Using AI Responsibly

    Use Generative AI responsibly by addressing risks like privacy, bias, and misinformation while prioritizing ethical and inclusive practices.

    Module 3: Synthesizing and AI

    Enhance synthesis with Generative AI by processing data, identifying patterns, and generating actionable insights efficiently.
    LIVE SESSION: Synthesis and AI Demo
    • Follow along as we demonstrate how to use popular GenAI tools to perform basic analytical tasks with quantitative and qualitative datasets, and learn how to start applying them in your practice.

    LIVE SESSION: Synthesis and AI Jam
    • Jam sessions are a facilitated space to come together as peers and practice using GenAI. They’re not lecture-based and are intentionally interactive. Each session will assume that you’ve participated in the demo session, watched the recording, or already know how to do the content from earlier in the week. Since they are a space to practice and connect, they will not be recorded.

    Module 4: Brainstorming and AI

    Leverage Generative AI to enhance brainstorming by generating ideas, exploring possibilities, and pushing beyond obvious solutions.
    LIVE SESSION: Brainstorming and AI Demo
