P3: Prepare for Co-Creation
Using what you learned in the Ideation sessions and AI tutorials, each group should prepare the following:
1.
Problem overview (under 1 minute). Write a short, focused description of your group’s problem space in the team notebook. At the beginning of the co-creation session, one member in your team will present the problem statement to the entire class
in under 1 minute before partners move to tables. Select the team member who will present.
2.
Idea slides (under 3 minutes). Prepare up to 5 slides (total) covering one tech (i.e., AI) idea and one non-tech idea, and how each solves your problem. Provide a link to your slidedeck in the team notebook. The tech and non-tech ideas can be very different. At the co-creation session, two students will stay at your table to present and get feedback, while other group members will visit other tables to give feedback. Listen more than you talk, and stay open to partner ideas.
3.
GPS questions. Using the tool Justin Chan recommended, prepare questions for partners to answer under each heading. Type them directly in your team notebook.
●
Good: praise and positives
●
Problematic: concerns or potential problems
●
Step-ups: improvements, or ways to reduce problems
4.
Ongoing research. Keep gathering evidence through observations, interviews, and literature on the problem and possible solutions. Add it to your team notebook.
Submission
P3 should be completed in the team notebook under Week 5.
Due Date is 5pm the day before your next class.
