Design Thinking Challenge • Use “design thinking” to design the ideal car for your partner. • Get to know your partner’s needs • What’s important to your partner in his/her choice of car? • Ask “why” questions to get to deeper needs • Encourage stories to get to deeper needs • Take notes! • See “Interviewing Tips” on next page for a full list of interviewing advice • Switch roles when prompted
Interviewing Tips • Ask why.Even when you think you know the answer, ask people why they do or say things. You might get to deeper, unsaid needs. • Encourage stories.Whether or not the stories are true, they reveal how people think about the world. • Look for inconsistencies.Sometimes what people say and do are different, revealing further insights. • Pay attention to nonverbal cues (body language and emotions). • Don’t be afraid of silence.Resist the need to ask another question when there is a pause. • Don’t suggest answers. • No leading questions(don’t imply a “right” answer.)
Synthesize (form a perspective) • Reflect on your partner’s needs and frame one of them as a “want ad.” Example: Angelina needs a way to drive and text at the same time because she nearly caused 5 accidents on the way to school today.
Ideate! • Generate as many possible solutions to your partner’s needs on a sheet of paper (use text and illustrations). • Defer judgment!
Prototype! • Use some of your ideas and draw a prototype of your partner’s ideal car. • Build to think • You will present your idea to your partner and receive feedback
Sharing is Caring • Share your prototype with your partner and get feedback: • What worked? • What can be improved? • What new ideas did you get?
