If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

MAIN TAKEAWAYS

  • The focus of the project was not the change the way people wash their hair, but to find a new way to deliver shampoo.
  • The challenge was to use design as a means to convince people to try something new.
  • Prove that there is a demand and support for your idea, for example by doing a user study.
