Class 07_Homework_February 15th

Hello all,
Make sure to bring your completed homework to class [sticky notes]. Each student will have at least 55 ideas that they have generated independently (this includes what you already started in class). You do not need to scan this work, but I will be checking your contributions for credit.

Your ideas should all be possible solutions to your carefully crafted POV [We decided on a final POV in class]. Remember that ideation is about generating lots of ideas quickly, from the practical to the outrageous, from the obvious to the unexpected. Shoot for 1 idea per minute. Avoid judging and over-editing your ideas and let your creativity soar. In this phase, it is important not to be biased against your own ideas. 

On the worksheet I passed in class [in the resource folder, 07_Ideation_Hndot] was a catalyst sentence fragment that began as, "How might we........". Please read the following to explore and expand what we discussed regarding this statement in class. https://public-media.interaction-design.org/pdf/How-Might-We.pdf
Best,
Team IPC
