Retractable Walking Stick

Part 1: Drawing key lessons

• The team did well in identifying the problems based on user interviews and feedback. The ideation of the the prototype was logical and specific to the user's needs.

• It could have been interesting to see how well a longer walking stick helps Mdm Janatah. She might have found it sufficient without the foldable seat.

• The final solution seems to be targeted more for daily use rather than the original use case of preparing food in the canteen.

Part 2: Exploring Possibilities

• The team can build the prototype with suitable lightweight materials and collect more user feedback.

• While not a prototype, students can also look at Mdm Janatah's workflow in the canteen. What are some actions that could cause discomfort overtime?

• Could her work area/workflow be made more accessible for her?
