Design Project 2 | Project Brief
For this second design project, you’ll again use these steps of the design thinking process:
- empathizing - surveying, interviewing, or observing community members to understand their needs
- defining -- identifying several potential problem / opportunity areas and developing point of view statements for each area
- ideating - brainstorming using divergent and convergent thinking to generate potential strategies for addressing the needs identified in your selected point of view, then defining your team’s minimal viable design features
- prototyping -- creating very rough prototypes of the essential design features to explore and illustrate the user experience and functionality of your proposed design
- testing - observing community members as they test your design prototypes, then iterating and refining your design ideas
- sharing -- presenting your prototypes, design thinking steps, and your evaluation of the effectiveness and impact of your proposed design
TO-DO / NEXT STEPS:

POV Statements: [USER] needs to [USER'S NEED] because [SURPRISING INSIGHT]
- this will tell us what we’re trying to provide (needs)
- What are the insights that come from the POV drafts?
- In POV we need to distill those needs into a statement. For example:
- Professors need more ________ when on campus.
- Students need to have ___________ at their schools, because today ___________ is more important than ever.
