Challenges

I've been a bit slack on the posting this week! EEK!

THE CHALLENGE

2 days ago the class was given a task of making my life easier by inventing something that would help me. As we are looking at innovation this term the class was very innovative and came up with various ideas for making my life easier (They weren't allowed to give me ear muffs and a blindfold though)

Here is a couple of examples of what the groups came up with:

Two completely different designs here but they both incorporated different elements that would make my life easier. They only had 1 hour to do this so the results were very good. THe one on the right is a life sized clone of me with gadgets attached to the body and the one on the left is a comfy couch with everything you would need at your fingertips.

FUTURE FOCUS

After this we had a discussion about what process they should have gone through to make sure they fulfilled the design brief in the best possible way. The groups cooperated well together assigning different tasks according to people strengths which was great to see, the only down side was that only a couple of groups actually did the research for the design asking me what it was I needed. Hopefully with the next task they will research a bit more fully.
