IMAGINE
( brainstorm ways to make it better )
DO
( implement the act of change )
SHARE
( send the stories to inspire others )

What BOTHERS you?
(inside your school classroom or playground)
2. Why does it bother you?

16. 1. Answer:
Who did you see as people involved in the problem?
2. Brainstorm
- LOTS OF IDEAS, the CRAZIER the better!
- Share ideas, LISTEN to team members
-Write down all ideas on post-it notes / in workbook
3. Select
-Which idea(s) address the root cause of the problem?
-How will you know if the idea(s) will work?

17. • Example Problem: Name Calling
• Why does it happen?
Low Self esteem -> wanting
attention -> peer pressure ->
name calling
Design solutions for the ROOT CAUSE.
Remove the root cause, and you remove the problem

18. DO
1 WEEK TO
IMPLEMENT
**REMEMBER to DOCUMENT!**

19. Design Thinking Process

20. Document your story. 3 min video to show your –
SHARE feel – imagine – do – stages.
If any students know how to take photos/video and
edit videos let them do it. If not, let them learn.
Easy to use Windows Movie Maker (comes with
Windows). For MAC, use iMovie.
MS Powerpoint is OK too, but not as compelling as
video.
Upload your video(s) to youtube. Send us the link.
**SUBMIT your videos to dfclaos@gmail.com by May 14th.

21. Break Time!

22. What Next?
1. Run the FEEL step with your class(es).
2. By Feb 22, email dfclaos@gmail.com with the
title of each of your projects, and when you plan
on implementing the “DO” step.
3. Final submission of videos May 14th to be in the
contest and story book.
