Project 2 - Mini Proposal
💡
Create a mini-proposal with work plan.
  • Mini-Proposal:
    • Describe what you want to design and the context (who, where, when, why & how). Include (a) a sentence about your team’s personal connection to this context, (b) the sustainability element, and (c) a project code-name. <100 words.

      • Example:

      We love playing games. And we are committed to sustainability lifestyles. Our team will design a sustainability gamification teaching & research laboratory in XYZ at Stanford University for students interested in learning & developing product designs that emphasize UX-motivated playability in sustainability human-behavior & human-mindset change. Our team is interested in applying positive psychology with AI machine learning & personal sensor technologies to design frameworks & solutions for clinical & real-world applications in education, healthcare & community well-being, among others. This is PROJECT PINBALL WIZARD.

  • Work Plan:
    • Project Management Practice - Make a table of action items, deliverables, start & completion dates, & who will have primary responsibility for driving & delivering. The header action items should include each of the design thinking components in our process; list specific tasks as sub-items.

      • Example:

      Start

Mini Proposal:

We are Stanford students that enjoy cooking and eating home-made meals. We want to see more students using and caring for the dorm kitchenettes. We would also like to improve the cleanliness of the kitchenettes. Our team will redesign the kitchenettes so that they encourage students to keep the space clean while also implementing different sanitary measures. For example, UV light cleaning, better food waste removal, and improved dish cleaning systems. We are the Kitchenette Krew.
