Design thinking is a process that involves empathizing with users, defining problems, ideating solutions, prototyping and testing. Design thinking courses aim to teach participants this process and how to apply it to a variety of design challenges.

The course can vary in length, from a few hours to several weeks, and can be taken online or in-person. The courses usually include lectures, case studies, group activities, and individual projects.

Overall, design thinking courses are a great way to learn how to approach problems from a user-centered perspective and develop creative solutions. They can be beneficial for designers, entrepreneurs, business professionals, and anyone who wants to improve their problem-solving skills.

If you are interested in taking a design thinking course, I would recommend researching the different options available and selecting a course that aligns with your goals and interests.
