  1. Hello. My name is current stoking and this is my
  2. design thinking pitch community needs.
  3. I currently work in a library system, and I wanted
  4. to address the issues the library system is facing.
  5. I had a few issues in mind, but I thought
  6. the most important one was that the library was under
  7. serving their community.
  8. The system develops programs that are used across this system,
  9. like one size fits all.
  10. We have many locations across the city.
  11. In each community is different.
  12. What works on one location does not work for another
  13. location. I knew my problem was too broad and I
  14. had to focus on a single problem that could help
  15. the community.
  16. The first two steps in the design thinking Help me
  17. narrow down my solution, empathize and define for the empathize
  18. step I did the collage interview.
  19. Since I do not have the resources or time to
  20. your of your community, I used my family.
  21. I practiced the collage method with my 10 year old,
  22. which was a great tool for kids her age.
  23. But I think for my problem I need to do
  24. a large group interview.
  25. This will give me a better idea of what the
  26. community needs.
  27. The next process was defined, which really help me narrow
  28. down my problem.
  29. I used the Why.
  30. How Ladder tool to help me focus on the single
  31. problem. I like this method because it helps me find
  32. the needs that are both meaningful and actionable after working
  33. on, empathize and define part of the design thinking I
  34. was able to come up with a problem statement.
  35. Families in our community need a way to access learning
  36. activities at the library because higher levels of family participation
  37. increases school readiness of Children in the community.
  38. The next stop was I D eight.
  39. I used the How might We Tool And I liked
  40. it because it gave a variety of solutions to my
  41. problem statement.
  42. Although I think some of my solutions air still pretty
  43. broad, I can always go back and use the How
  44. might we to get a more defined solution.
  45. I also did a storyboard to visualize how I might
  46. solve my problem.
  47. The story board was helpful because it gave me a
  48. general idea on the steps.
  49. I need to take the last two process prototype and
  50. test to help me try out my solution and see
  51. where it needs improvement.
  52. So for the prototype, I did a live prototype.
  53. I wanted to do a program for parents that have
  54. kids that are getting ready for school.
  55. This program would have a speaker in hand.
  56. That's the gay parents, the tools needed to help their
  57. kids. I didn't make a flyer and activity guide for
  58. the program, but I do not have access to adults
  59. with the right age Children.
  60. So I used my kids and did a stem program
  61. for practice.
  62. My program included a craft, a stem experiment in a
  63. reading list for my last step was the test part
  64. of the process.
  65. I chose the feedback capture grid from my test model.
  66. I like the grid because it was a good, systematic
  67. way to divide the feedback into four different areas.
  68. This was a simple way to figure out what I
  69. needed to work on and how to improve my solution.
  70. If I did this for my program for the parents,
  71. I would have asked for their email and sent out
  72. a survey for them.
  73. Then, with this information, I could use the feedback capture
  74. grid to figure out what I can do to improve
  75. my program.
  76. Oh, no.
  77. The design thinking process was a great tool to use
  78. to help me find a solution to my problem.
  79. And we'll be something I can use in my career.
  80. Thank you.
