The Aspirations and Avoidance Activity takes place in early phases of the project, and is centered around a discussion of Desires, Wants, and Needs of the community. Learn more about this activity here.
Interactive Polling Activity
The Interactive Polling method allows designers to survey meeting participants and display results in real-time. It allows for a more engaging meeting format while also allowing the presenter to collect important data points regarding participants' preferences on a project. Learn more about this activity here.
For projects where the main user group is youth, such as playgrounds and parks, it is vital to include this age group in the engagement phase and design process. Involving youth also ensures all community members, regardless of age, have a voice in a project. Learn more about this activity here.
