Jump.edu – Needfinding at Stanford University’s Design Program

When he’s not working at Jump, Dev Patnaik serves as an adjunct professor at Stanford University, where he teaches design research methods to undergraduate and graduate students. Since 1999, he has taught a course called Needfinding. In the class, students draw upon methods from anthropology, design and business planning to discover insights about ordinary people and create new products. While the class is required for all Design majors, it’s become a favorite of students from the Business School, School of Education and even Computer Science. To learn more about Dev’s course, which renews again in January 2010, and others in the Design Program at Stanford, click here.
