2. Wild Idea Dash
Brainstorm what should your solution could look like and how the user will interact with it. Sketch as many ideas as you can. Don’t worry if they’re crazy!
Sketch your ideas on your own, then share them with your partner.
Guidelines:
- Wild ideas are good!
- Be visual (illustrate your ideas)
- Defer judgment (don't assess or critique your ideas until you have finished all of them)
- Quantity over quality
- Build on your other ideas

B) Would the user find the solution useful?
C) Is building the solution feasible (doable)?
D) Other notes:
- What seemed useful?
- What was missing?
- Additional Questions
When you finish, return the guidebooks and review the feedback with a partner.
4. One Standout Idea
4. One Standout Idea
With your partner, use the best parts of your wild ideas and the feedback you received from others to create the first prototype for your app. Then, write a fuller description of what it will do below. It’s fine if your design changes later!
When you finish, return the guidebooks and review the feedback with a partner.
