WHAT IS METHISO
METHISO(meet-think-solve) has been tailored as a series of classes focused on how the theories on Design Thinking translate into real world, real work experience.Methiso sessions provide new methodologies and new pedagogical approaches that will support students, entrepreneurs, social ventures and education institution to inculcate design thinking as a tool while creating the future environment, infrastructure and lifestyles. The sessions are a deep-dive into design thinking methodology with takeaways of framework and tools to practice and implement the process.
