*Design Challenge Activity

1. Design a Challenge

Dreams or things that I wish would exist

Gripes/Things The Could be Better

2. Create a Plan

• Sketch out the End Goal(s): What will I work to produce?

• • Define Indicators of Success: What measures and indicators will help me know my ideas are successful?

• • Establish Constraints: What constraints will I need to manage?

  • Other Things to Keep in Mind

3. Write a Brief

Write up a short “brief” that clarifies the challenge you’d like to address. Write it as if you were handing it to someone else to design with. Capture thoughts on why this is a problem, and what the opportunity for design will be.
