10 second sculptures.
"Your goal is I want everybody to find a group of, let's say, about three people per group. We're going to give each of you a clump of clay, and again, without talking, you're going to be given 10 seconds, and then you have to pass the clay to the next person, and then they get to craft for 10 seconds, and then you pass the clay to the next person. At the end, you'll have a project that you have to present your idea to everyone that you have created. .."
"Bosh" was a fish-like boat designed to mimic the experience of being a fish.
"Star Hug" was a hugging robot that senses human emotions.
"Flarker" combined a flame gun, fart gun, and rocket pump. "Ninja Camera" was a self-guiding projectile with a camera.
"Cleaning Ray" collected oil from cargo ships.
"The Bird" was a multi-purpose vehicle powered by solar energy.
"Spike Car 2000" was a defensive vehicle with spikes.
"Wedding" was a creative sculpture without a clear function.
Chris instructed the group to generate three ideas, with two being creative and appealing, and one being a ridiculous or stupid concept. The exercise is timed for seven minutes, with an initial suggestion that four minutes might be sufficient.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of not overthinking the ideas and warns that if the group fails to produce a sufficiently absurd idea, they will have to do push-ups.
The session is geared towards brainstorming diverse and creative thoughts.
"If you don't speak up about your idea, it won't happen.
In a creative brainstorming session, participants were tasked with remixing and presenting unique ideas based on random prompts.
Ideas included a
- "Smart Cart" that navigates and shops autonomously, an
- "Evil Goose" that wakes you up and eats frat houses,
- "Save Me Bubbles" suit for water safety and boxing,
- "Guitar Player" device for learning guitar, a
- "Jet Bag" backpack with rocket boosters,
- "Fire Footing" shoes with light-up sparks,
- "Fake It Glasses" that cry for you,
- "Singing Rocking Duck" that doubles as a recycling bin,
- "Injecto Crawler" spider that injects potions, and a
- "Bottle Sensei" water bottle that stops doom scrolling.
The group voted on the ideas, categorizing them as cool, silly, useful, or impossible.
In a brainstorming session, Chris and others categorized various inventive ideas into groups. They consider daily help items like a reminder button and a mechanical heart, and discuss the usefulness of a Barbie house that suggests outfits based on your closet. They also explored self-defense ideas such as a British Rex self-defense injector and an intelligent life jacket.
Food-related items include portable hot chocolate and pizza tronic. The group also created a party category for items like dance shoes and an electric spray. They debate the categorization of an observing rocket, which could be a drone for studying animals.
In a team meeting, Chris organized seating and category assignments for a group activity involving six conversations, each lasting 10 minutes. The goal is to select the top ideas and discuss future steps. Participants are assigned to different categories: self-defense (Mav), food (Italian team), party (Ari), science (Julia), daily help (Mateo), and a category for rockets, which is later assigned to Eliano and Michelle. Chris emphasized the importance of the exercise and the need to discuss favorite ideas after the conversations. The conversation ended with a light-hearted moment about the location of the rockets discussion.
Teams meet with their mentors:
Cardboard Prototyping:
Who is this project for?
Am I doing this to:
- Learn something?
- Because it's Cool
- Because it is useful?
Design with the user in mind, and in the conversation
Minimum Viable Product- the thing that has to get done for this project to be 'successful'
Least Valued Component: The thing we most want to skip
Build a 'Works Like' prototype- has
- most important moving parts;
- proof of concept;
- understand technical problems
Build a 'Looks Like' prototype:
- Shows rough idea quickly
- Helps with size and placement
- Show to people who can help you
- What portions can be done in parallel-division of work
- What happens if X takes longer?
- What happens if Y is done early?
Fail fast!
