IDEATe: most people love this stage. This is where you get to let your imagination run wild. it is often the stage that people go to first as it is the fun stage and we all like to create. However ideation without empathy, defining the problem and doing research can lead to solutions that are not suitable for the people / thing you are creating solutions for.
Keys to ideation;
It’s an opportunity to be bold, curious, imaginative, collaborative, open minded and kind.
Focus on quantity – get as many ideas down as you can.
Explore possibilities. Unusual ideas are welcome
You might combine ideas together
Be collaborative, not competitive. Work together for a common cause
No criticism – focus on extending or adding to an idea, not being negative
the original challenge was so broad and there are many possible answers to the questions.
We had three challenge inquiry's submitted, asking questions around mental health, loneliness and education. we decided on the inquiry around loneliness and isolation. We applied the most popular who, what, why, when, where, how questions from tuesday to this challenge.
We began to ideate using jam board. people shared ideas and built on ideas submitted by others. it's possible to continue to do this until 5pm today.

today's task:
we would like you to ideate around the challenge presented and continue to build your ideas. Throughout Consider what works well / even better if.
We would love you to come back tomorrow and share with us a first stage prototype idea. Work up that idea as a draft drawing, model or mind map – if it is an object that you have created consider what size it is, what it will look like, what materials it will be made of etc. If it is an idea, a service (for example daily phone calls to an older person who experiencing loneliness) – how will you enable this to happen, who will be involved.
