It is important that the major prototyping tracks are described, including the ones that ended in 'failure'. | Describe your various processes for prototyping for function and desire.

Abstract
Background
Describe the background of the project. Make sure to cover who, what, why, when and where. This is not the problem statement. It is the background that readers should understand before the problem. Remember that the reader does not know anything about the project, except what you covered in the abstract above.
Empathy
Describe your various processes for collecting information. Summarize the results. Include some pictures. Include some specific demonstrative anecdotes.
Interviews
Summarize the various interviews and interview processes that you utilized.
Community meetings
Summarize the various community meetings and and meeting processes that you utilized.
Observations
Summarize the various observations and and observations processes that you utilized. Feel free to add or subtract subheadings under empathy as needed.
Literature Review
I think we might skip this just this time... feel free to wait until I arrive to complete the literature review subsection. Introduce the literature review briefly and then use heading and subheadings for topics. This should focus on information… NO PLAGIARISM! [1] Copy and paste from this Practivistas India/literature review template.
Definition
Problem statement
Start your project objective statement in the format, "The objective of this project is to..." Feel free to include specification and considerations here, or make subsections for them.
Criteria
Include a brief intro to the criteria and then include a table with constraints and weights (0-10 highest). Edit the code below to make your table.
| Criteria | Constraints | Weight (0-10) |
|---|---|---|
| Criterion 1 | The constraint specifically on criterion 1 | The weight for the criterion |
| e.g. cost | e.g. must cost less that $10 USD per year. | e.g. 9 |
| Criterion 3 | The constraint specifically on criterion 3 | The weight for the criterion |
| Criterion 4 | The constraint specifically on criterion 4 | The weight for the criterion |
| Criterion 5 | The constraint specifically on criterion 5 | The weight for the criterion |
Ideation
Describe your ideation process. Include some images of your process, and include community ideation as well. You do not need photos of everything. Feel free to describe in words, and summarize/generalize repetitive processes.
Prototyping
Describe your various processes for prototyping for function and desire. You will need to make some executive decisions on what to include and what not to include. It is important that the major prototyping tracks are described, including the ones that ended in 'failure'.
- The inspiration for each product was to provide different ways of up cycling waste and sell it
- begun the process by brainstorming product ideas that based on criteria and community visit findings.
- Then engaged the community to slowly eliminate products.
Plastic Molds
Describe what you were trying to prototype, what questions you were hoping to answer, include photos in a gallery as shown below. Also, do not forget that all photos should have a very unique name, e.g.
- melting plastic and molding it to a different shapes
- finding alternatives of melting plastic (frying, oven)
- type some findings
Communityname_Prototypename_1.jpg.
Describe the results of each of the prototypes.
Pens
Describe what you were trying to prototype, what questions you were hoping to answer, include photos in a gallery as shown below. Also, do not forget that all photos should have a very unique name, e.g.
- newspaper
Communityname_Prototypename_1.jpg.
Describe the results of each of the prototypes.
Grocery Bag
Describe what you were trying to prototype, what questions you were hoping to answer, include photos in a gallery as shown below. Also, do not forget that all photos should have a very unique name, e.g. Communityname_Prototypename_1.jpg.
Describe the results of each of the prototypes.
Plastic Stringer
Describe what you were trying to prototype, what questions you were hoping to answer, include photos in a gallery as shown below. Also, do not forget that all photos should have a very unique name, e.g. Communityname_Prototypename_1.jpg.
Describe the results of each of the prototypes.
Vermicompost
Describe what you were trying to prototype, what questions you were hoping to answer, include photos in a gallery as shown below. Also, do not forget that all photos should have a very unique name, e.g. Communityname_Prototypename_1.jpg.
Describe the results of each of the prototypes.
Tests
Describe testing results or culminations events such as a fair. You may need to make multiple subsections here using the three equal signs on either side of the subsection name. This will include lots of photos, which may be in gallery format or using the image code and switching between left and right orientations.
Timeline
Introduce the timeline and include a table of the timeline. Briefly describe what you did each day. Alternatively, this could be a link to a google spreadsheet as long as it is one that will not go away (i.e. it should probably be shared via Meenal or Lonny.
Conclusion
Describe your tangible findings.
Instructions
This is how to make, use and/or maintain it. The step by step how to template {{How to}} is most likely best for this part as shown below:
Troubleshooting
This is only how to troubleshoot basic operation. For complex issues, the solution might just say contact ________. In addition, this might not be relevant to your project... if that is the case, just delete this section. It should be a table in this format:
| Problem | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Example issue | Example solution or suggestion |
| Does not turn on | Make sure it is plugged in |
| Another issue | Et cetera |
Discussion
Discuss your findings through your own lenses. Summarize and editorialize. These can be more subjective, just make that clear.
Lessons learned
Describe your collective lessons learned in the project.... most likely in a numbered bullet format as shown below:
- Check in with your team daily
- Address communications issues early
- When inventing a widget, make sure that widget doesn't already exist in the local store
- Etc.
Next steps
Discuss any next steps for the project as it goes on into the future.
Team
Introduce team member name in the following format:
- Lonny Grafman
- for each team member.
References
Make sure to include other relevant categories at the bottom, e.g. [[Category:Rainater]], [[Category:Upcycling]], etc.
