Slide 7: The Future of Sports: Who?
The Future of Sports: Who? In this project, you will choose a real person in your community to design your product for. You will interview the end-user, create an empathy map, and then define a problem that you hope to solve with your product. Read about the project details on the following slides.
Slide 8: 1. Find a User
1. Find a User First, you will need to find a real end-user to design a product for! Do you know someone that could use a device to help them participate in a sport? Here are some examples of users that could benefit from assistive devices in sports: • Young Children (make the sport safer, easier, a
Slide 9: 2. Interview your user
2. Interview your user Once you have found an end-user and they have agreed to help you with your project, you will interview them about their experiences with sports and accessibility. This will give you critical insights into what challenges they face and what kind of solution might benefit them.
Slide 10: 3. Create and Empathy Map
3. Create and Empathy Map • In addition to your interview, you will observe your end-user in action! Maybe you will watch a special Olympian compete in a sport, or observe the way young children play a sport in comparison to older athletes. • Observing your end-user will give you enough information
Slide 11: 4. Define the Problem
4. Define the Problem • With a completed empathy map, you're ready to define the problem you intend to solve. You will create a "How might we..." problem statement and share it with your user. Verizon confidential and proprietary. Unauthorized disclosure, reproduction or other use prohibited.
Slide 12: The Future of Sports: What and How?
The Future of Sports: What and How? • In addition to your user interview, empathy map, and problem statement, you will have to brainstorm ideas, build a prototype, create a 3D model, test your prototype and model, and make an Adobe Spark Presentation! • It sounds like a lot of work, but we'll break
Slide 13: Assistive Device
Assistive Device There are many types of assistive devices for sports out there! Check out the examples below: • Prosthetic Limbs: A prosthetic is an artificial attachment to replace a limb. For instance, a runner who has lost one of her legs can wear a prosthetic leg and run again! • Adaptive Sport
Slide 14: Up-cycled Prototype
Up-cycled Prototype Before you start 3D modeling and printing your project, you will create a rough prototype out of up-cycled materials. Your up-cycled prototype should: • Represent the size and shape of your design • Allow you to test how your design works • Be made out of up-cycled materials like
Slide 15: 3D Model Requirements
3D Model Requirements For this project, you will create a 3D model of your design using OnShape. Your 3D model must include the following: • Parts: Your model must consist of at least three different parts. • Features: Each part must consist of at least three features. A feature is an extrusion or r
Slide 16: End-user Testing
End-user Testing • After you have created a prototype and 3D model of your design, you will present it to your end-user and watch them interact with it. You will record their feedback and then improve your prototype! Verizon confidential and proprietary. Unauthorized disclosure, reproduction or othe
Slide 17: Adobe Spark Presentation
Adobe Spark Presentation The last part of your project is to create an awesome Adobe Spark Video Presentation. Here are the requirements for your presentation: • Who is your end-user? • What was your problem statement? • What is the name and logo for your product? • How does your product solve the p
