Week 9: Methodologies for thinking and development processes
Lecture:
Make notes and reflect on the answers given by the creative practitioners. Take inspiration from the answers that resonate with you the most and use them as a springboard to develop your own project. Use the Ideas Wall freely to discuss, ask questions and share ideas.
