Design Session: Team Instructions

Phase One

We’re going to complete a Design Session today, this happens in three phases. First, we’re going to spend 10 minutes ideating on the prompt. During this ten minutes, the goal is to write down words, and short phrases; or draw any thoughts, ideas, and potential solutions to the prompt presented. Keep it succinct and loose. Don’t worry about having fully formed thoughts, you want to be free flowing and creative.

Phase Two

During this ten minutes, you’re going to walk around the room and vote on your favorite ideas. You vote by placing a colored dot on the sticky note you favor. Here’s the key: you have a limited amount of votes (by the number of sticky dots you have), but, you can vote more than once on a single sticky. In fact, you can vote as many times as you like. 

Phase Three

We’re not going to group the ideas and find the most-voted. We’ll have a brief discussion on the most-voted ideas, and maybe hear a bit more from the people who wrote them. Bonus points if we decide on some next steps for how we bring this to fruition.
