So far, everyone has done a great job in presenting your problem, process, and products to the class in the past presentations! Friday, you will have the chance to present to an outside group of reviewers, from MIT and not, of different backgrounds, all *somewhat* related to design. We will scope the project as shown at the bottom, so the reviewers know your project prompt.
Each team will have exactly 3 minutes to present in whatever format they think is most effective. I believe all teams have the material already necessary. The difficult part will be choosing what and how to present in 3 minutes. 2 minutes will be allotted for Q & A from the outside reviewers. This is an important skill to learn: having too much material and deciding how to clearly and concisely convey your work to a fresh audience. The presentation should *roughly* address these questions:
- what is and how did you come up with your compelling need?
- why were current solutions not sufficient?
- how did you scope/frame your problem? i.e. what were your goals in developing the prototype as shown?
- how did the prototype turn out? i.e. show it in use!
- remaining concerns/next steps
If you need any help in figuring out what/how to present, feel free to email us or drop by lab. Use slides, movie, photos as you feel appropriate.
To avoid A/V problems like we've encountered the past two times (no worries. the first two presentations were done precisely to smooth out any problems), please post all materials by 10pm Thursday. One member from each team must arrive by 930am Friday to make sure the presentation runs smoothly.
Submit the materials in this form
- 3 minutes exact for each team
- materials submitted by 10pm Thursday evening to here
- at least one team member show up 930am Friday to run through slides
- ask if you need help/advice with anything!
Design-a-palooza is a class intended to teach novices the basics of the early stages of the design process. This 2 week course introduces creativity, product design, user needs, concept generation, concept selection and prototyping to students of all majors and years. For their cardboard project, they were asked to find a compelling need and develop a functional prototype of a product that could be used in the campus setting. These were the requirements of the product:
- made primarily out of cardboard
- non-paper materials should be recyclable, easily found around campus
- users could possibly make it for themselves
