Abstract

Student programs are often designed based on organizers’ ideas before the needs of students as users are systematically explored. The Design Thinking Express program aimed to strengthen students’ capacity to develop solutions grounded in user needs. The workshop was conducted online on 27 September 2026 through a collaboration between the Arabic Literature Student Association (HIMASA), Universitas Padjadjaran, and Corporate Innovation Asia (CIAS), involving 19 students divided into five groups. Participants practiced the five stages of Design Thinking—Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test—through user interviews, problem formulation, prototype development, and solution testing. A descriptive analysis was conducted using group project reports, facilitator notes, and anonymized participant reflections. The five groups produced five solutions: ResGo!, SinergiKita, Sobat Rantau, Ta’allam, and MABAR. User interviews and testing enabled participants to revise their initial assumptions in response to feedback on the proposed solutions. Facilitator notes also indicated a shift in several groups from dependence on guidance toward more independent role distribution and decision-making. These findings suggest that Design Thinking can serve as an approach to student empowerment by integrating user needs, idea testing, and iteration into the learning process. Future programs should provide more time for hands-on practice and include follow-up evaluation.
