Tuesday March 19th

Today we had another work shop with Ian and Ali Corbett about product development. It involved a continuation on from the previous weeks work on creativity.  The focus had shifted from divergence towards convergence and the rest of the creative process leading towards prototyping.  We felt that we needed more divergence before we tried to move forward. So we spent the time continuing to work around the needs of students and problems they face.

Here are some of the ideas we came up with 

• A belt buckle that is a watch
• A scarf that has a built in rain jacket
• A cap that has interchangeable logos/messages
• A bag with a built in charger for your cell phone
• A desk for your bed/ a folding mini desk for campus
• A bangle or necklace that holds money or a card
• A folder including everything a student might need
• A water bottle /flask made from bamboo
• a wallet that is built into a phone cover
