After a How Might We question is posed, we try to answer it in as many ways as possible. This is where brainstorming really comes in. The rules of brainstorming are:
- Quantity, not quality
- Gleefully accept every idea; don't judge until later
- Be visual
- Build off of each other's ideas
- Encourage wild ideas
- One conversation at a time. Don't be rude.
We use post its, set a timer for 5-15 minutes, and try to get as many ideas up on the wall as possible.
We brainstormed on how we might use everyday junk to get kids and parents exposed to engineering topics, and our ideas clustered into the following categories:
- NetFlix Model
- Reducing Waste
- Productive Uses of Junk
- Different Junk Sources
- Artsy / Creative uses of Junk
We brainstormed on how we might use personal experience to help parents and kids get excited about engineering topics, and our ideas clustered into the following categories:
- Toys/Sports
- Dinnertime
- Chores into Games
- Doing stuff that needs to get done
- Building stuff
Our brainstorm sticky notes:
