Description
Why We Started a Do Tank
We were inspired by the OpenIDEO approach of activating citizens' idea through challenges that tackle social problems around the world. The Do Tank is an effort to encourage more physical action, beyond the ideation phase. We aim to help move ideas into prototypes that can potentially be implemented with local organizations. The Do Tank itself was first prototyped in Fall 2015, in partnership with OpenIDEO and NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Along with instructors from FOOSSA, NYU, IDEO, and miLES, we mocked up a curriculum that combines Design Thinking, Prototyping, Lean Startup, and Pop-up Experience as the Do Tank Educational Program.
