Assignment 6: due 3/16

As a recap of our discussion on Thursday, please complete the following by this Tuesday 3/16:

Teams
1. Meet for at least one substantial sketching and brainstorming session focused on the problem/benefit that you have chosen for the Western China community design project. Produce evidence of your progress that can be reviewed and discussed during desk crits on Tuesday. Please continue to share your skillsets and make sure to communicate to me during desk crits whether or not you are practicing the skills that you stated you are interested in improving.

2. Look up precedent projects in which social entrepreneurs have worked on similar types of problems in the past, and be prepared to discuss the successes and failures of these efforts with the class.

Individuals
1. Draft letters of intent (describing why you are contacting them, what your interests are, how you would like to try to assist them) to at least 5 local organizations. Share these letters with Peter Hocking and/or myself for review.

2. Sign up for a Dropbox account here. I will add you to the class Dropbox folder. For new accounts, please use your RISD email address so that I can easily keep track of which address to send email invites to.
