Design with a Mission

Due Tuesday October 14th

1. Clearly define and write the problem statement of your design project. (2-4 sentences)

2. Clearly define and write the mission statement of your design project. (2-4 sentences)

3. Research and ask questions! 

Try to find an equivocal circumstance of your problem statement here in RI and talk to people associated with this issue. For example, if you are doing a medical device-go to the hospital, if you are looking at individuals with HIV- go talk to a nonprofit who works with HIV + patients, if you are looking at education- go talk to teachers. Document your research in a way that is helpful for you and enables you to share your findings. (Think video, photographs, recorder, notes, sketches)

4. Continue sketching your project ideas, iterate, and refine.

5. Post all assignments onto your blog.
