Session Title: Rapid Prototyping

Leadership Framework Component: Developing Specialization, Building for Action & Impact

Session Description (this will appear on the sched app, so please edit to reflect clarity):

Based on the "Rapid Prototyping Talk by Tom Chi - Build effective, cutting-edge product prototypes in support of an ongoing innovation process.

Session Objectives:

Apply Design Thinking principals to a "real world" design problem (paper airplanes)

Learning Objectives

Understand the advantages and disadvantages of Design Thinking, and how best to apply it when prototyping.

Agenda:

Intro presentation about Design Thinking and rapid prototyping
Design Challenge, Use rapid prototyping to make a paper airplane that flies the furthest.
Have teams come up and talk about their process. What worked, what didn't work for making plane better.
Contest: see whose plane flies the furthest (more for fun than about Design Thinking)

Notes:

Teams didn't work too well, most people wanted to make paper airplanes on their own (which is fine)
Make sure teams document everything (what is their hypothesis, how far did each plan fly, how many iterations did they make, etc.)
Have a dedicated space for flying and measuring plane distance, otherwise someone will lose an eye
In the end, a crumpled wad of paper won our competition. This is a nice teaching device for making hypothesis that challenge the nature of the game
