IDEATION

The process of forming ideas or images
This is the definition of "Ideation" from dictionary.com.

We are going to do a lot of brainstorming - coming up with ideas related to your project. If you are working on this assignment on your own, be sure to read all the notes in this area.

It's very important to participate today!

Please get your P3 folder ready!

How Might We... ?

Think about your How Might We question. If you don't know what it is, LOOK IT UP NOW! (Google Classroom Assignment #2)

In other words, what's the problem you are trying to solve?

Have an open mind.

This workshop is for generating a lot of ideas for your HMW question. Even if you already have something in mind you want to create as a solution, please have an open mind and be ready to think of more ideas. You never know what you might end up creating in the end!

Here's an example of someone's first idea not working out as expected...
One of American's most popular snack foods, the potato chip was invented in 1953 by George Crum, a chef at the Moon Lake Lodge Resort in Saratoga Lake, New York, when one of his customers complained that their French-fried potatoes were too thick and mushy. As legend has it, Speck's solution was to thinly slice and fry some potatoes until brown, and the patrons loved what was to become the first-ever batch of chips.

Ford quote...

We didn't ask you to fall in love with your IDEA, we asked you to fall in love with the PROBLEM!

5 Golden Rules of Ideation

  • There are no bad ideas πŸ™…πŸ½
  • Quantity over quality ✏️
  • Document everything πŸ‘€
  • Use and enrich others’ input for stronger ideas πŸ€œπŸΎπŸ€›
  • Keep an open mind and a non-judgmental attitude 😎
Some of you only have a handful of ideas in your folders, but the more the better!! So the point of today's activities is to come up with MORE- even if you only think of 1-2 more, it's a success!

BAD IDEAS FACTORY

Think of as many BAD ideas to address your HMW question as you can. Spend about 5 minutes coming up with bad ideas to address your HMW question (set a timer!). Try to come up with at least 20 ideas.

Write your ideas on a piece of paper. Though you are coming up with "bad ideas," please keep them appropriate for school (no violence, no prejudice, no disrespect to any person or people in any way).

Can any of your "bad ideas" be turned into good ideas?

CONSTRAINTS

Now we will introduce some constraints: things to limit your ideas. Some of this may seem silly, but it actually might help you come up with MORE ideas! Jot these down on another sheet of paper.

Next Steps

What are your best ideas?
After brainstorming ideas, it's important to decide which ones to prototype; that is, which one(s) you will move forward with for P3. This may be difficult because there may be a lot of good ideas to choose from.

For now choose the idea(s) that:
- you are most excited about
- you think you can actually complete a prototype of, given the materials available to you
- that everyone in your group agrees on
