SUMMARY:Jumpstart Your Design Thinking
DESCRIPTION:A focused, free mini-course for science gateway teams ready to 
 build more user-centered solutions.Interested in applying design thinking 
 to your science gateway, research portal, or digital research initiative? 
 The Jumpstart Your Design Thinking mini-course can help. It's free, and it
 's offered virtually over three half-days.Science Gateway – Research Por
 tal – Research Platform – Digital Humanities Project?The SGX3 program 
 has foundational knowledge in supporting science gateways that specificall
 y offer access to high performance computing and compute intensive researc
 h, but our sustainability trainings are valuable not just for those resear
 ch platforms that self-identify as “science gateways” but any large-sc
 ale, research-focused, digital initiative that has the intention of widely
  sharing cyberinfrastructure, tools, data, or content, in the service of f
 acilitating knowledge creation and sharing. (Sustainability Blueprint Fact
 ory Final Report, p.9)Who Should ApplyLeaders and team members of any rese
 arch-focused digital initiative — a science gateway, research portal, da
 ta commons or repository, online educational community, or simply "the web
 site where our data lives" — who want a quick, structured introduction t
 o design thinking before applying it to their own work.What the Workshop C
 oversAcross the three half-days, teams engage in hands-on activities that 
 help them frame the right problem and design for the people they serve. Wo
 rking closely with peers and facilitators, you will:Define a clear problem
  statement — a focused, testable articulation of the challenge you're so
 lving, not a finished solution but a grounded starting point.Build a user 
 archetype that captures who you're designing for and what they need.Map a 
 user journey to understand how people experience your platform today.Gener
 ate and develop solution concepts through structured ideation.Create early
  prototypes and refine them through peer and facilitator feedback.Learn fr
 om case studies and from other teams working through similar challenges.Le
 arn how to access Science Gateways Center of Excellence (SGX3) consulting 
 services and support resources.Leave with a flexible toolkit — methods, 
 templates, and a repeatable design thinking process — that you can bring
  back to your team and keep applying as your project grows.Learn more at:
