Assisted by a steep drop in smartphone prices at home and in emerging markets around the world, students will explore how to empower new low-end smartphone users by creating savings and payment solutions for people who previously have not had access to electronic banking.
In a series of 2.5 hour workshops across three consecutive days, students will apply their existing d.school skills to understand user challenges; design simple services for low-end smartphones; and gain feedback in the field from prospective users.
Students should have previous experience with design thinking and be interested in understanding the needs of new mobile users on low-end smartphones who would benefit from including mobile banking solutions in their lives.
