Inspirations

“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.”

Isaac Asimov

Prep for Session

• For next session, please do some iterating on your initial concept. You might choose to focus in on one aspect of your idea, get more specific, change parts of your idea, or start over. Feel free to create a new or revised concept map (handout or on MIRO or by hand). Or create some other way to show others your idea. We will be designing prototypes for these new versions of your concept during the next session.
• You should feel free to start doing some informal testing of your idea with people in your life. Having an idea to share as a starting point for a conversation can serve as a prompt for gathering more empathy.
