Use at least one (1) Sensemaking activity to harvest insights from the information you gathered from community sensing. Document your insights on slide 11 of your Manghahabi Kits.
Himayin ang Konteksto involves two processes: Sensing (you did this during the community sensing week!) and Sensemaking. Watch the video below to learn how the two processes relate to each other.
When dissecting and understanding a topic, idea, or experience, it's helpful to think through it using a particular frame. Rose, Thorn, and Bud facilitates a specific way of thinking that leads to useful insights for design.
Further situating and contextualizing what we know about our users and their experiences can help us focus on what matters to them the most. This exercise can also be used to help your users understand their own experience better.
Empathy is an important part of practicing human-centered design. The best solutions are often based on a deep understanding of the users and their story. Use this exercise to practice and make empathizing easier.
Using the insights you harvested from sensemaking, craft a Design Challenge Statement and put it in slide 13 of your Manghahabi Kit.
(Tip: Try writing as many Design Challenges as you can to practice, then select one!)
Designers can look at problems and reframe them into opportunities. We close the Himayin ang Konteksto phase of Design Thinking by crafting Design Challenge Statements that we can use to think of ideas. Watch the video below to learn more about how to design your own Design Challenge Statement.
Albert Einstein once said "The framing of a problem is often far more essential than it's solution", and road to finding the best solution starts by defining the problem or design challenge, from all the insights and information we have gathered so far.
Gets niyo ba ang Design Challenge Statements? Once you settle on a Design Challenge Statement, share them in the Padlet below.
Collaboration is a key mindset of the Ambagan ng mga Ideya phase. We learned more mindsets through a fun activity called Categories. Follow along by watching the video! If you'd like to jump straight to Ambagan, skip to 14:00.
Use Bukas-Daloy-Sarado to come up with ideas to address your Design Challenge! Document your thinking on Slides 15-16.
On Slide 15 of your Manghahabi Kit, copy-paste your Design Challenge Statement and come up with 8 Wild/Crazy ideas.
At this point, we're looking for quantity first, so don't self-censor yet!
On Slide 17 of your Manghahabi Kit, select one Crazy 8's idea and develop them into idea seeds. Try imagining what your ideas would look like as tools or materials, policies or processes, or programs.
Once you've done this individually, go back to your group and share idea seeds with each other! Try to add more idea seeds.
Go back to your group and use the pink stars to vote on idea seeds. You can use the following criteria:
Which ideas do you want to develop into a prototype?
Which ideas do you think your community members will find useful or delightful?
Which ideas do you think solve your design challenge?
Which ideas can be prototyped in the next two weeks?
