The process of forming ideas or images
This is the definition of "Ideation" from dictionary.com.

How Might We... ?
Think about your How Might We question. If you don't know what it is, LOOK IT UP NOW! (Google Classroom Assignment #2)
In other words, what's the problem you are trying to solve?

Have an open mind.
This workshop is for generating a lot of ideas for your HMW question. Even if you already have something in mind you want to create as a solution, please have an open mind and be ready to think of more ideas. You never know what you might end up creating in the end!

Here's an example of someone's first idea not working out as expected...
One of American's most popular snack foods, the potato chip was invented in 1953 by George Crum, a chef at the Moon Lake Lodge Resort in Saratoga Lake, New York, when one of his customers complained that their French-fried potatoes were too thick and mushy. As legend has it, Speck's solution was to thinly slice and fry some potatoes until brown, and the patrons loved what was to become the first-ever batch of chips.

Mention animal shelters- yes they need money, but what else could help them? Could help animals?

You will likely be brainstorming with other people, for your project and theirs. Please use a "yes, and" approach with everyone's ideas.
ANY idea is ok at this point, so even if you think it's crazy or impractical, don't say no!

BAD IDEAS FACTORY
Think of as many BAD ideas to address your HMW question as you can. Spend about 5 minutes coming up with bad ideas to address your HMW question (set a timer!). Try to come up with at least 20 ideas.
Write your ideas on a piece of paper. Though you are coming up with "bad ideas," please keep them appropriate for school (no violence, no prejudice, no disrespect to any person or people in any way).

BRAINSTORMING
Now we will spend a good amount of time (about 10 minutes) thinking of "good" ideas to address your HMW question.
If you are doing this on your own, you can use the "crazy 8's" method we used earlier this year. Or you can use the method described on the next slide.

Crazy 8's
- Fold your paper in half 3 times to create a sheet of paper with 8 rectangles on it.
- Put one idea per rectangle. You can write words or draw pics.
- You'll have 40 seconds for each rectangle.
CRAZY 8'S Brainstorming!
Don't forget to keep the PROBLEM/HMW in mind! Also think about the research and empathy steps you have taken.

If you get stuck, take a previous sketch and edit it slightly, combine ideas from two different sketches, etc.

BRAINSTORMING
- In front of us
- Beyond the trees
- Over the mountains
SKIP THIS ONE FOR THIS YEAR
As you brainstorm solutions to your HMW question, think expansively without constraints. Put each idea on a Post-It, and then place it in one of the following categories:
- In front of us: ideas that can actually be done soon
- Beyond the trees: ideas that might take a little more effort, time, or money
- Over the mountains: ideas that are close to impossible right now, also called "moonshot ideas" - this can also include wild, absurd ideas!

Can any of your "bad ideas" be turned into good ideas?

CONSTRAINTS
Now we will introduce some constraints: things to limit your ideas. Some of this may seem silly, but it actually might help you come up with MORE ideas! Jot these down on another sheet of paper.

Next Steps
What are your best ideas?
After brainstorming ideas, it's important to decide which ones to prototype; that is, which one(s) you will move forward with for P3. This may be difficult because there may be a lot of good ideas to choose from.
For now choose the idea(s) that:
- you are most excited about
- you think you can actually complete a prototype of, given the materials available to you
- that everyone in your group agrees on

Synthesis
the act of combining elements to form something new
Now look through your entire list of ideas. What do some of them have in common? How might you borrow from one idea and add it to another?

storyboard
representing your best idea
You will soon start working on a Storyboard, which is a visual communication of your idea. This can take the form of a poster, presentation, video, or anything else you like. This will be Assignment #9 on Google Classroom. We will spend the majority of Experience Week working on your Storyboard. It will become part of your Expo presentation.
Prototype
a preliminary model of something
A prototype is a first, typical or preliminary model of something. Creating a prototype of one or more of your ideas will be one of the next steps in your process.
Some of you might have a prototype made by our Expo on Friday; others might take longer to finish it. Either way, it's time to start thinking about which idea, or ideas, you'd like to pursue.
This will also be an assignment on Google Classroom, just not sure which number yet.
