These are the combined/abbreviated steps that we focused on for the in-class design challenge—

Here’s one example from IDEO on how to frame a design challenge—

Then I showed some movie trailers and slides to help set a futuristic context for the design challenge—

Sleep Dealer is “set in a future, militarized world marked by closed borders, virtual labor and a global digital network that joins minds and experiences, where three strangers risk their lives to connect with each other and break the barriers of technology—

This video by Explorist showcases “Incredible Future Technologies” in six categories—

With all those examples percolating in your minds, we went through the design challenge, breaking into 3 groups (via Zoom Breakout Rooms), with one person acting as the human subject with a problem to solve and the others acting as the design team, tasked with generating ideas and a potential solution—

Finally, I reminded you that the Assignment 2 due date is coming up, and also that Assignment 3 will be posted after class.

Please post your design solutions that your group came up with as a comment to this post.
