Capstone studio
The Capstone studio of the Comprehensive Design program at Indiana University is the culminating studio of the program.
Students start with an issue that interests them. Using human centered design, they interview users and stakeholders, then redefine the problem into an actionable and human-centered problem statement (or How Might We statement). Students then spend the remainder of the semester solving and then communicating their problem.
