Prairie STEM is an Omaha-based non-profit which focuses on introducing primarily STEM related activities into classrooms. They partner with schools that have students as young as Kindergarten to high schoolers in their last year. They also partner heavily with UNO to create curriculum and design products for the younger students. Their claim to fame is the CEENBot which was created with the help of UNO students and it is a small drivable robot that can be operated by remote or used in a coding software to perform tasks. This opens up opportunities for students to become more advanced in coding and problem solving. They are heavily involved in girls in STEM and often put on seminars and host out of school activities that are engineering, coding, math, and science specific to young girls who are interested in those subjects. I, along with other students, were tasked with enhancing Prairie STEM as a nonprofit through design thinking. We started by interviewing everyone involved in Prairie STEM, from the board, teachers, office workers, to the students. We looked at the major problems each person faces and brainstormed ideas to fix these problems. We found that communication is in serious need at Prairie STEM and our design thinking process led us to create an app that connects students, teachers, and students. I learned through this process that identifying problems in an organization or team requires 90% planning and 10% execution. The planning takes the longest because finding the right questions to ask for the maximum emotional response takes time and empathy. I needed to place myself in the shoes of each person I interviewed and think of how they might look at the question and the interviewer. I also found a knack in team brainstorming as the person that kept ideas rolling, never backing down from a crazy idea and encouraging it. This created a sense of safety for the team members and they were able to speak their mind more clearly and without hesitation.
