Ideate - came up with relevant and novel ideas - all the ideas relate
Relevant - petition and infographic - both would be needed - time boxed to draw many ideas
Novel - providing products ourselves and joining student government - neither are very realistic
Planning - drew our best idea - fjgured out how it would physically work
Prototype - used foam, tape, paper, popsicle sticks - had trouble with the lever
Prototype - made tampons out of play dough - took time on aesthetics
Reflect - let us be organized - helped us plan - used difgerent steps at difgerent times
Reflect - had trouble staying in the problem space - kept trying to think of solutions early on - easy to think of solutions when researching
Reflect - didn’t get much information on empathize - could have done interviews - survey was our only info from subjects
How would this impact students? - able to focus better - overall happier - less tough situations
What can you do? - spread the word - get attention from student government
