Class 09_Homework_February 20th

Hello all,

For homework, create a list of [6] ideas you want to prototype and explore moving forward. This list of ideas should stem from the 10 ideas you developed for homework last week. Strengthen and craft these [6] ideas according to the bulleted criteria below after considering today's team discussions. Be sure to focus on the ideas the team wishes to continue to explore. The team will create [6] prototypes to share with the class on Thursday. It may be wise to distribute this work so that each member is crafting [2] prototypes. Additionally, collect and bring any materials to class that you think the team can use for prototyping in class this Thursday. 

Best, 

Professor Urrutia

Prototyping List
due Thursday, February 22nd

Format: Google Drive as a single team document

As a team, start to refine or converge ideas: we will use a process of considered selection by which you will bring multiple ideas forward into prototyping. As a team, designate some voting criteria: 

• What ideas are most likely to surprise and delight your user? 
• What ideas are a solid rational choice for your user? 
• What ideas are unexpected & unique for your user? 
• What ideas are great for users but also have benefits for other stakeholders? 
• What ideas are inspiring to you? (If you think your project is boring, so will other people!!!) 

Consider the team's POV and how your ideas are unique, innovated, inspired, delightful, and/or practical for your confirmed stakeholder. Be prepared to present your [6] ideas verbally in class with a visual prototype version.

Type up your prototyping list and explanation of each idea, into a single document and save it your team folder. List all ideas you wish to explore moving forward [at least 6]. This is a group document. It should be named as follows: GroupNumberORName_c09_c1_PrototypingList.doc

Gather materials and create some prototypes

due Thursday, February 22nd

Format: [6] Physical artifacts brought to class plus additional materials to work with for refining a final prototype.

Think about materials you will need to prototype the [6] ideas your team chooses to move forward with, in assignment c09_a1. As a group, collect said materials and create at least [6] prototypes for homework based on ideas the group is excited about. It may be wise to distribute this work so that each member is responsible for crafting [2] prototypes outside of class. You will bring all prototypes with you to class on Thursday, February 22nd. Be prepared to present your idea verbally as you show off your prototypes visually.
