PREP

Set up your stations:

• Set up each group station with a whiteboard, stickies and black sharpies

Step 1: Dreams & Gripes

• Using sticky notes and sharpies, have participants brainstorm a list of issues they’ve observed or experienced in a learning environment they’re familiar with.

Step 2: The good, the bad, the ugly

• Participants write one answer per sticky and to say it out loud as they place it on a board.
• Encourage both text and drawings.
• Participants can list each issue as either a “dream” (e.g., I wish there were more meeting places outside on campus) or a “gripe” (It annoys me that there are no outdoor workspaces on campus— only benches!).

Step 3: How Might We…?

• Once you’ve identified the issues, choose one and change the statement into a potential design challenge by adding the words “How might we…?” to the start of the statement.
• Using “How” indicates that you do not yet have the answer, “might” emphasizes that responses are only possible solutions, and “we” adds an element of collaboration.

Step 4: Are we clear?

• Evaluate whether your “how might we” statement is clear and actionable.

• Stick to a timeline. Invite participants to form varied groups (roles and functions).
• Encourage drawing when brainstorming issues. The facilitator keeps track of the time.
