30. Why Prototype and Test? BUILD TO THINK LEARN AND ADVANCE YOUR IDEA QUICKLY CHANGE THE CONVERSATION GET YOUR USER’S REACTION

31. Selection :: Post-Brainstorm THERE IS NO ‘BEST’ IDEA DON’T EDIT BASED ON FEASIBILITY YET MAINTAIN YOUR INNOVATION POTENTIAL

32. Selection :: Post-Brainstorm MAINTAIN YOUR INNOVATION POTENTIAL Carry multiple ideas forward Consider these selection criteria: The Rational Choice The Darling The Most Meaningful The Long Shot

33. Prototyping Activity WITH YOUR OWN TEAM Select two of your design solutions: Take 8 minutes to develop and sketch these solutions

34. Get Feedback PAIR UP WITH ANOTHER TEAM (Find someone working with the other POV) Test your ideas with your partner. Partner: play the role of Erica or John as you are giving feedback. 4 minutes for each share/test, then switch.

35. Share your results :: Headline! Share an idea you sketched. What was the feedback? Where would you take it?
