In this TEDx talk, Evan Fried shares the story and process behind his STEM education project, which demonstrates the principles of human-centered design by engaging directly with the classroom environment, interviewing users, and co-creating a magnetic levitation train exhibit.

His iterative, empathy-driven approach illustrates the value of designing “with, not for” a community and highlights cocreation, prototyping, and responsive iteration. This example shows how human-centered design methods can be applied beyond product design to education, community programs, and other social initiatives.
