Good design is not just about making things look cool—it’s about solving real problems. Designers often ask:

• Who am I designing for?

• What problem do they face?

• How can I make their life easier?
  

This is called empathy—understanding and caring about the needs of others.

Many great inventions were made to help people:

• A walking stick for the elderly.

• A hearing aid for those with hearing difficulties.

• A grip tool for opening bottles easily.

In this lesson, we will learn to design with empathy by creating a simple assistive object that can make life easier for elderly or differently-abled people.
