Design Thinking Challenge #2

After reading Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day we decided to design a way to help him have a better day! We broke this design challenge up into 3 days, as the kiddos are still exploring how to do a design challenge. 

Stage 1: Empathy- what do we understand about Alexander? 

Stage 2: Define- what does Alexander need to have a better day? 

Their ideas were so creative! A robot to clean his room, headphones that can block out his brothers when they bother him, and an automatic shower to clean the mud off of him were a few ideas.

Stage 3: Ideate- draw 4 different designs to help Alexander. 

Stage 4: Feedback- meet with a partner to get more ideas of how to change, add to, and better our ideas.

Stage 5: Iterate- draw your final design!
