<p><strong>To begin this design challenge, consider which of the “How might I…” questions is most intriguing and feasible to you.</strong> This will be the problem you use for this assignment. </p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Option 1:</strong> How might I teach</span><strong style="color: #000000;"> <span style="color: #339966;">[content area] </span></strong><span style="color: #000000;">to </span><span style="color: #339966;">[</span><strong style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #339966;">group of students]</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"> by using </span><span style="color: #339966;">[</span><strong style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #339966;">a stage of the design thinking process]</span> </strong><span style="color: #000000;">in an engaging way?

<p><strong>Option 2: </strong>How might I teach <span style="font-size: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 1em;"><span style="color: #339966;">[</span><strong><span style="color: #339966;">group of students]</span></strong> about </span></span><span style="font-size: 1em;"><span style="color: #339966;">[</span><strong><span style="color: #339966;">a stage of the design thinking process]</span></strong> in an engaging way?</span></p>
<ul>

<p><strong>Pathways to students <span style="color: #000000;">who you can design for and with:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Are you a practicing educator, administrator, or other staff member who works in a school, or other educational environment?</strong> Your users could be your students (from your class, advisees, after-school club, etc.).</li>
<li><strong>Are you a parent of a school age child, or do you know a parent? What about a student in your family</strong> (like a cousin, niece, or nephew)? You could make generalizations based on this student.</li>
<li><strong>Do you know a teacher, principal, or someone else who works with school age children?</strong> This person can help illuminate the student perspective. </li>
<li><strong>One additional pathway is to use the <a href="/assets/courseware/v1/724549d44f28abde9983913ff60f6245/asset-v1:MITx+11.155x+1T2019+type@asset+block/Unit2StudentProfiles.pdf" target="_blank">student profiles</a> we have provided.</strong> Obviously, these are limited in many ways. You only have the information we provided and it’s not possible dig further into certain aspects of the “student” experience and background. </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> We hope you’ll be able to talk with students as part of the assignment. Some participants may be able to consider the perspectives of a few students, while others may only be able to consider one. Designers would not normally use information from just one user to design for a group. However, for the sake of simplicity, this may be necessary for this assignment. It's okay to create something that is more general; worry less about trying to tailor your activity to many different individual needs. </p>
