ASSIGNMENT # 2
1) USING THE DESIGN THINKING APPROACH YOU WILL ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION BELOW. ANSWER THEM ON THE DOCUMENT POSTED IN CLASSROOM, THEN SUBMIT THEM TO THAT ASSIGNMENT.
It is very important to not let the lack of technology control you thought process or solution to the problem. You may choose an approach/solution which current technology does not currently support but most certainly could in the future.
Take a moment to consider the down stream affects of your solution could affect generations to come.
If you followed this approach what areas do you think you could consider improvements? Consider the resources needed to produce technological products.

DESIGN THINKING
Take some time to think....now think some more. Your task is to come up with an example of a specific global problem/situation/social ill this type of design thinking would allow you to create a solvable solution to.It is very important to not let the lack of technology control you thought process or solution to the problem.

Now that I have your attention!
Imagine you are laying there on a summer day with your little cousin watching the clouds float by across the summer sun and they said to you, lets build a ladder to the sun.....
WOULD YOU DO IT!
NOW THAT YOUR MIND IS IN THE CORRECT SPACE, PRETEND YOU ARE 6 YEARS OLD...CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BRING YOURSELF BACK TO THAT TIME...FEEL THE CREATIVITY FLOW..
ASSIGNMENT #1
YOUR CREATIVITY TASK:
INVENT SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST...
EXAMPLES:
THE LADDER TO THE SUN, SPRAY ON SOCKS, A WINDOW THAT TRANSPORTS YOU ANYWRE IN THE WORLD.
THE KEY TO THIS IS YOU HAVE TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST. THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF YOUR PRODUCT.
DELIVERABLES
1) Sketch your product clearly, sketch it large, label each part
2) Write a crazy good description, you want to sell this product
ASSIGNMENT #2
1)Read The article
2) Make certain you are logged into your Gmail.
3) Post a comment about what specifically struck you about this article in the comment section below.
