Stories are what make us human, and drive us to act on our ambitions. Storytelling is a powerful tool that influences how we learn, helps us right moral wrongs, and build connections with each other. The primary goal of this course is to explore the different ways to tell stories, including our own. The second goal is to understand the science behind storytelling and how our brains are hardwired for stories. Finally, the course will culminate in applying these methods to your work in design: what is the best tool for you to tell the story of your work in a way that resonates with customers and stakeholders, and inspires them to act? Class meetings include a mix of lecture, discussion, and collaborative group activities to test theories and techniques first hand.
