Discussion:
Great job with specs!
Agenda àImportantis important.
Take 5 minutes to list things to do.
Assign timekeeper, note-taker, facilitator, etc.
...
Trip to IDEO in the future!
Brainstorming:
One of us is facilitating. Throw in ideas. Ask leading questions: "What could we do with dry chlorine?"
Problem Statement should give 10-20 ideas yourself.
...
Don't judge ideas. "Well that's dumb." Defer judgment until end, but prevent avalanches of wild ideas.
When we're done à , "Is this physically possible?" Logistics
Logistics of our session:
Separating qualities/needs?
Post-it notes with sketches
Example: Portable à Modular ß -> Modular <- Capacity
Kimi's idea: Electrodes and hand cranks and electrolysis!
It's too early to marry! Don't limit ourselves too easy.
Super rugged....or disposable and cheap?
An important question: What do we do if our ideas are different from the specs of our client?
Kimi's response: Not counter to our goals or our consumers. If we can come up with a convincing argument for an alternative.
Feel free to feed ideas outside our design specs, and maybe research the idea outside the brainstorm.
...
Each of us sketches 10 conceptual ones from our own ideas (personal brainstorming), and 5 from the group's brainstorm (different from each other).
Wiki Discussion:

Rebecca has scanner. Chris has one, but doesn't know how it works.
