Assignment 4: Due 3/9

Nice work during the team division process- you guys were able to handle a quite complicated procedure very smoothly. Here is are the Project 1 topics and team rosters:
  • Stove Innovation: Justin, Saba, Jason
  • Solar: Cassie, David, Peter
  • Sanitation: Flo, Louie, Annemarie, Felipe
  • Women's Ergonomics: Ji, Gazal, Lucy, Ju
  • Women's Reproductive Health: Kathleen, Soomi, Esther
For this coming Tuesday, please complete the following:
1. Prior to the team meeting, individually produce a list of specific problem areas you are interested in working on. For instance, if you are working on stoves, what problems related to stoves would you like to address. Each team member must also produce a short list of skills they would like to improve on. Share these two lists with your team and email them to me.

2. Schedule and hold at least one substantial group brainstorming session place during which you discuss a wide range of problems and their possible solutions to address in your given topic area. Produce and save sketches, mind-maps, lists of ideas, photos and any other evidence of your brainstorming session. The more the better.

3. Produce a list of questions you have regarding the user communities to pass along to One Earth Designs team members.

4. Develop at least 3 of these project concepts a bit further and create three 11x17 presentation boards for each. Each board can investigate a slightly different aspect of the concept, for example: the problem being addressed, material, manufacturing, human factors, sustainability, etc. These should all have a consistent graphic layout. You may work on tasks individually or, preferably, work together in group work sessions.
