Name Card- Mission Reflection

What was the most enjoyable part of the mission?
I think the most fun part about this mission was the prototype stage, since I enjoy drawing.

My least favorite was the define stage, since I had a little trouble working out what problems I had to address.

How could this mission change next time to make it more enjoyable?
The mission was already really fun so I do not feel that it needs to be changed.

Design Thinking Skills

Empathize: 

This is the first stage to the design thinking process. You ask what somebody wants as a product, such as a new phone. 

Define:

During this stage, you ask yourself what problems there are. For example, how will you give a phone more storage while still keeping it at the same size. 

Ideate:

The ideate stage is when you start creating the product. You try to address and fix the problems with different solutions, and take customer feedback. 

Prototype:

This is the stage where you start creating the product. You also take more customer feedback. 

Test: 

This is the last stage to the process. You show your product to other people and they test how well it works and if there are any bugs.
