Recently we received a lot of requests for training with the Design Method Toolkit. We’ve created a 1 day training for organizations that would like to understand design processes and learn how to implement this within their company.

It’s a Design Course on Effectively Balancing Research and Creation in Multidisciplinary Design Projects

In an ideal design process there is a constant flow between researching and creating. SCREAM! facilitates this flow with a structured ‘common language’ for design teams.

MediaLAB Amsterdam’s SCREAM! approach enables multidisciplinary design teams to get started and enrich the design process. SCREAM! is introduced in combination with a Design Method Toolkit, that will enable you to plan and execute design research and create impactful designs within short iterations.

About MediaLAB Amsterdam

MediaLAB Amsterdam uses a combination of an iterative design cycle and the Scrum process in order to foster both the creative process and enforce teams to work structured and goal oriented. This has proven to be a powerful combination for the multidisciplinary design teams that work on projects in the lab-context that we provide.

The MediaLAB Amsterdam design process is a problem solving method that helps create and evaluate solutions in response to challenges. In the process MediaLAB intends to evoke real curiosity in order to make teams highly motivated to find answers and solutions. This involves lots of iterations, making, prototyping, going out on field studies and test each idea, concept or prototype with actual users.
