INSPIRATION
1. Discuss the problem - Talk about the challenges and practice empathy. Create a list of
challenges and needs below. Your goal here is to understand the people playing the
game, the constraints you are facing (challenges), and what you need to achieve your
goal. Ask each other questions, probe, LISTEN, and take notes.
● What are the obstacles? What are the potential pitfalls?
● What would make a game fun?
● What sorts of things must be included in the game or sport?
● What inspiration do you have from games you have played in the past?

sport/game. Use additional pages if needed.

6. Test your game with real people. You may have time in class to test your game, but you
also need to test it outside of class. It helps to find people who are not part of your team
to help test your game. Each team member can run their own test and share the results,
or you can get together to test. Describe the experiences with the tests below. What
went well? What didn’t work?

Individual Project Reflection
When you are done, each individual team member should evaluate your creative
problem-solving process using these questions:

Did this game meet the


needs and account for
the challenges that you
set out in the problem
definition phase? How
and why?
What new challenges
were encountered?
What needs were not
met? (if any)
What aspects of the
game were effective?
What things would you
want to change for a
future iteration?
Do you feel like you
followed the steps of
the creative
problem-solving
process?
What mindsets and
attributes did you use
most? Least?
What mindset or
attribute is your biggest
challenge? Why?
