To create a volume of unique solutions for our five problem statements, we engaged in a team visual-brainstorming session. Below, we have documented our team’s initial concepts:
-
- Problem Statement: Design a product that prevents a mixing container from moving around and allows the user to easily lift and pour out mixtures.
-
- Problem Statement: Design a product that can hold a different foods in place so that one handed individuals will be able to cut them safely and sanitarily.
-
- Problem Statement: Design a product that allows for minimum physical stress on the user while pouring hot liquid from a large pot, while also maximizing efficiency and minimizing injury risk.
-
- Problem Statement: Design a product that allows a user with one hand to spread food thoroughly without the food moving around.
We then went off on our own to expand upon our team brainstorming session. Below, we have documented our individual concepts:
-
- Ideas by Ethan Shust for problem areas 1, 2 and 5
-
- Ideas by Armaan Malhotra for problem areas 2, 1 and 5
-
- Ideas by Bryan Babcock for problem areas 1, 2&4 and 2
-
- Ideas by Gabby Wilson for problem areas 5, 1 and 2
-
- Ideas by Matt Dubin for problem areas 1, 2 and 5
After brainstorming, we created a criteria for what makes some ideas the “best” solutions. We decided they need to be physically possible ideas that address and efficiently solve the problem we are addressing.
Our team’s top five ideas are outlined in this short presentation:
