Design Exercise!

Design for Development

Due Date: October 21

Objective:

It's time to take all that research we've been doing and start designing a product and/or service!

Now that we understand that to touch one UN Millennium Development Goal, we must consider all, choose a specific design opportunity you found during the Systems Mapping project, a region within your studied country and a target market and develop a systemic approach to address the opportunity through a product and/or service.

Keep in mind how your product and/or service could be made as affordable as possible and potentially marketed to a high end user for subsidizing costs.
