By completing your Capstone Project, you are not just building a solution—you are learning how to
think like a designer. This experience will help you observe the world with fresh eyes, find creative
fixes, and design with empathy and purpose.

The Capstone Project allows students to apply the design thinking process to solve real-life problems
ÿ
creatively.
Students identify a problem through observation, interviews, and user research.
ÿ
Spatial-social mapping helps understand how people interact with spaces or products.
ÿ
A clear problem statement guides the project focus.
ÿ
SCAMPER technique is used to generate innovative ideas by modifying existing products.
ÿ
Students build a prototype (sketch or model) to represent their solution.
ÿ
User testing and feedback are used to improve the design.
ÿ
The final solution is shared through a presentation or visual format.
ÿ
Real-life case studies like Boondh Cup and Daily Dump show successful Indian design thinking
ÿ
examples.
