Reflection – Learning Launch 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Since I am currently finishing my major in biomedical engineering - Industrial engineering , I   have not got many real - life experiences per se . Nevertheless , I ’ve found design thinking   and its tools a useful ally in my career path . After deep questioning , I ’ve realized which   tool is the most appropriate to use in my thesis project . The tool I am ready to use is the   Learning Launch . This tool will allow me to gather real information about how my idea   interacts with the final user and understand their true needs and therefor be able to   determine what works . I find this tool particularly useful because it involves the scientific   method which I ’m very familiar with and uses other tools such as prototyping . 

 Application 

 The first step was to state the hypothesis I wanted to prove , and all the key assumptions I   needed to test . Them I could design the test for those key assumptions and apply it in the   Learning Launch . 

 In the first learning launch , I ’ll be focusing on the reactions and sensations users have when   interacting with the project . In order to achieve this , some parameters must be stablished .   Less is more , this means I ’ll be focusing on the quality of the data not the quantity so the   guest list will be short . Second , the learning launch booth will be divided into stations so I   can focus the information I want to collect on each part of the project . Third , making guest   comfortable gets the truth . The goal is to make the attendees as comfortable as I can   making the project stations interactive and fun , because as far as I learned If a manage to   make them forget this is an academic activity , ill be able to get their true feelings and   opinions about the project .   My role will be moving across each station talking to the   participants to gather more information on my own . 

 After this first launch , a second one will be prepared with all the knowledge gather from the   first one . The second Learning Launch will be a lot more formal than the second one since   I ’ll be asking for expert opinions about the project , so the stations will maintain but they ’ll   be less interactive but more theorical . 

 Its important to mention that after each launch it ill be ask to the attendees to complete a   short survey of their opinions and recommendations on the project . 

 Insights 

 Having in mind that my hypothesis and all the assumptions made could be completely   wrong , all the data gathered will suffer a process of deep analysis to extract all the data that 

 could lead either to prove or disprove the hypothesis and in case of being disproven to   transform the insights into the new assumptions for a new working hypothesis . 

 Since Innovation is a probability game , is most likely that the first hypothesis I proposed is   wrong . The truth is that ’ll be wonderful since the soul of this tool is to be recon as a   learning process , the best insight come from failure . 

 Approach 

 Even though I have not tested this tool I ’m very confident that this is the way to go whit my   project , and even if it is n’t I ’m willing to fail fast and cheap and learn from it !

EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
