Excitement reigns at OpenIDEO this week as we switch to the Concepting phase on our Voting Challenge. After gathering insights, examples and interviews during our energetic Inspiration phase, we're ready to collectively ideate to make elections more accessible and inclusive. Be sure to check out the tips we've put together to help guide your concepts – plus the Brainstorm-in-a-Box toolkit to get your creative juices flowing. If you're brainstorming with family, friends or colleagues – you might want to check out these pointers to maximise your collaborative goodness.
Last weekend in London, IDEO hosted a Make-a-thon which brought together the enthusiasm, passion, creativity and skills of makers, designers, hackers, systems thinkers and friends. Alongside prototyping designs for community-building in London, ideas from our OpenIDEO Amnesty Challenge were also built upon. Check this recap and stay tuned for more updates here on Field Notes!
