Day 7 (6\/25) Reflection<\/p>\n

After we created our POV statements we moved into the ideation phase on day 7.\u00a0 The ideation phase is now used to parse out solutions for the POV\u2019s that were created.\u00a0 There is a whole process involved, and we accomplished this process at D:hive<\/a> with Andy (D:hive) and Megan (Little Things Labs<\/a>).<\/p>\n

First we created \u201cHow Might We\u2026\u201d statements where we introduced the problem our POV is facing.\u00a0 My example, \u201cHow might we increase safety and security in makerspaces?\u201d<\/p>\n

After creating \u201cHow Might We..\u201d statements, we took five minutes to brain dump any solutions we could think of for anyone\u2019s HMW statement.\u00a0 No matter the idea, just put it on a post it and stick it under the statement.<\/p>\n

Next we took stickers and marked the ideas we liked the most.\u00a0 This is just to help us go back and quickly reference ideas.<\/p>\n

Then we moved to forcing connections. This is a rapid topic generation method, where every 3 minutes you move to another topic to really work the brain.\u00a0 We moved to a blank space on the wall and, on posts it\u2019s, wrote as many things as we remembered observing during our time in the field.\u00a0 Anything from as simple as \u201cjeans\u201d to \u201cdriven.\u201d\u00a0 It didn\u2019t matter.\u00a0 After that we moved to writing any re occurring themes we saw, like \u201cpassion.\u201d\u00a0 Then we wrote down platforms we know of, both physical platforms or abstract platforms like a train platform or Facebook platform.\u00a0 Finally we wrote down what manufactured goods we purchased recently.<\/p>\n

After writing all those words down, we then made connections.\u00a0 We took three words, didn\u2019t matter what words, but the goal was to make connections with the three words.\u00a0 For example I put \u201cWood,\u201d \u201cWine,\u201d and \u201clibrary\u201d library together.\u00a0 A wooden wine library would be pretty cool.<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/a><\/p>\n

When we were done with that we were tasked with picking only one connection we thought was a cool idea to sketch.\u00a0 I chose \u201cold buildings,\u201d \u201cfabric,\u201d and \u201cbeautiful group kitchens.\u201d\u00a0 I drew some napkin sketches of old buildings draped\/design in fabric and then drew a city fabric to dive deeper into the statement.\u00a0 It was a fun exercise<\/p>\n

After lunch we went back to the ideas that we both drew about and wrote all over the walls and picked out another three.\u00a0 We picked one that was exciting to us, one that our user would really benefit from, and one that we felt was really innovative and not a solution out in the market place.\u00a0 This gave us 21 ideas (7 people x 3 ideas each).<\/p>\n

From here we were tasked with forming 3 teams that each liked a few of the ideas that were now on the bard.\u00a0 These teams were to pick three ideas, and come up with a pitch to either combine the ideas into one major solution or pick the best solution out of the three.\u00a0 The pitch was to try and sell the solutions to each other so we could begin working on our solution for the rest of the project.\u00a0 We also wanted to narrow down to 2 teams, so we were also trying to get buy in from others to join the team.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, two teams combine their ideas naturally and we didn\u2019t have to do any informal pitching, but we did come up with our solutions.<\/p>\n

Our Solution:<\/p>\n

We saw the maker spaces were set back from most of the community and felt that more people could become makers (at any level) if the setting was right.\u00a0 We felt a coffee shop\/bar would be a great setting where people could still use the same principles that makerspaces offer but show people that making is easy, fun and extremely accessible.<\/p>\n

So we came up with a Drink.Design.Make.Share space (this is not our title, just our working \u201cmission\u201d).\u00a0 Part of the space would be designated for light to medium making (like weaving or bike repairs), another part would be used for designing\/ideating, and the other parts of the space would have a bar for socializing and drinking in order to share ideas.<\/p>\n

A accessible multifunctional community space for curious people that want to learn and work with their hands.<\/p>\n
