Got a 6-10yo future designer?

KidsTeam UW will have a full-day summer program from July 24 – 28, 2023, and 2x a week meetups after school on Tu/Th. We are especially interested in working with BIPOC & girls.

TikTok’s center has a lot of potential. It’s very engaging by design. It is also a place where stakeholders can come together and have conversations with TikTok leaders, conversations that might not happen otherwise.

But to make the center meaningful in and of itself, especially given TikTok’s plan to open more, stakeholders should be involved early on. Learning from this launch, I hope that TikTok put resources into #codesign and #designresearch to inform future transparency centers. 8/8 🧵

Transparency is a complex concept that requires great care to design and communicate effectively. It is a perfect example of a “wicked” problem, a multi-faceted, complex problem where multiple stakeholders may have conflicting goals.

That’s where #designresearch comes in. It is a method specifically intended to address complicated and nuanced problems. Most importantly, it is human-centered, which means it includes stakeholders in various stages of the decision-making and design process. 4/
