Moving from the Plan Mode to the Create Mode during the ChangeMaker Innovation Process™ brings ideas to life in the form of an impactful prototype.
Moving from the Plan Mode to the Create Mode during the ChangeMaker Innovation Process™ brings ideas to life in the form of an impactful prototype.
Construct:
Produce a prototype to get the ideas and explorations into the physical world. How can I create the prototype?
The Create Mode allows innovative ideas to be brought to the physical world with the goal of blessing others within your sphere of influence to impact the world in positive ways.
We want to stretch your thinking to view prototyping beyond creating a model, object, or 3-D image. We designed this document below to showcase the vastness of prototyping!
You could consider trying one of the following:
Create a storyboard, empathy map, or journey map
Write a song, speech, or a play
Write a story, blog, or speech
Design or recreate an experience
Design or redesign a room or space
Create and showcase an art piece or sculpture
Cultivate culinary skills by trying a new recipe
Test
This is our chance to refine the solutions to make them better. What needs to be changed?
Testing allows us to have the confidence to refine, reshape, and improve designs after hearing constructive feedback and doing personal analysis.
The SWOT + Questions method allows for analysis of the internal factors relating to the design challenge: Strengths and Weaknesses. In addition, this method allows for the analysis of external factors relating to the design challenge: Opportunities and Threats. The goals are to make the design solution even more effective.
What aha’s do you have from embracing the broader view of prototyping?
How can you start small but start somewhere with regard to creating more opportunities for CREATING in your classroom or learning community?
What can be changed to make your design or idea even MORE impactful?
What are examples of ways you are CREATING in your classroom learning community?
For those that are interested we have many more methods, graphic organizers, and activities for the Imagine Mode in our Methods For Education Book!
