Idea: A student-led committee that will be responsible for creating (using design thinking) a publication of class design project work.
Overview: Various publication formats will be considered (eg, proceedings, portfolio, prospectus, gallery, catalog, etc). Course instructors will advise and mentor. The publication will be posted on the web for public access & reference. Committee will meet as needed to discuss & work on publication. This is a voluntary activity & does not replace any required course work.
Requirements: The final publication will be in PDF format. Submission of student work will imply consent to publication of individual contributions. One or more committee members should contribute write-ups to introduce & summarize the purpose of the publication. Other sections can be discussed in committee. The publication will be finalized within 2 weeks of the end of the summer term.
Benefit: Committee members will be recognized in a list in the publication. Think of this as an add-on sustainability design thinking project that you could highlight on your resume.
Questions? Reach out to the course instructors. We will create a Slack channel in our workspace for this activity.

Testing Protocol / Script for the Testing Sessions
- Establish Pre-expectations
- SHOW IT, don’t tell, don’t sell
- Give your tester a task that you’d like them to complete…
- Is this…
- Discoverable?
- Learnable?
- Does this…
- Work as Expected?
- Not Work as Expected?
- Do What you Want?
- What Else Would You Want It to Do?
- Does the user value it?
- Would you Use It?
- Would You Buy / Subscribe / Pay?
- Is it a good value at… range?
- Avoid the uncomfortable question…
- Anchor the range

- Feasibility
- Impact
- Use of Design Thinking
- And tells your story in a COMPELLING way!
‣
Creating an Elevator Pitch - Tips
- Create a a video recording (90 seconds max.) delivering your elevator pitch -- you can decide how to tell your story and what visuals will be shown -- for example:
- your Google Slides, Canva, Miro (or your preferred tool) presentation
- images or live video of your prototype?
- You can create your recording using Zoom or any video recording tool that you prefer
- Item 4: Live Pitch — One Slide Backdrop or Poster / Infographic
- Will be displayed during your Live 90 Second Pitch to the class
‣
- You’ll make your Live 90 Second Pitch to the class with your One Slide Backdrop, Poster, or Infographic projected on the video wall.

Inclusion of individual Design Project 1 Spec Sheets in the class publication will be optional per the Spec Sheet author’s choosing. If you wish to have your Design Project 1 Spec Sheet included in the publication, a shared Google Drive folder will be created where your contribution can be uploaded. Spec Sheets will be reviewed by the “Spec Sheet Looks Good” members of the editorial committee. These committee members may require formatting changes to fit the publication design. The author may edit/revise textual and graphics content. Uploading of your Spec Sheet to the shared folder will be considered your consent to have your Spec Sheet included in the publication.

How is your concept enabling sustainable “micro-living” as an [early adopter] occupant’s preferred choice? [WOW! factor]
How is your concept innovative & positioned in the future?
“Nobody has a clue, despite all the expertise that's been on parade for the past four days, what the world will look like in five years' time. And yet, we're meant to be educating them for it. So the unpredictability, I think, is extraordinary.” - Sir Ken Robinson, TED2006
