#group brainstorm

Okay let's get this show on the road

to start with, i'll explain who I plan on working this thing:

I plan on doing parts of the oc at a time, so this process might be a little long

Now, I'm mostly going to ask for opinions and explain some on my ideas and use reblogs and polls.

I plan on giving a full 24-ish hours for each post to give everyone a chance to put out their opinion and then on the next post, I'll explain the conclusion/do a poll if there were multiple ideas

I'll probably also have a masterlist at the top of each post so that we can keep track.

If you need any more explained on how I'm going to work this, go for it.

Today's topic:

Concept.

It's normally the first thing I do, so let's start there.

I do have an idea, but I'm happy to here more

So, my idea was that the oc can change between realities. Basically they can see all the different outcomes

I have more ideas to like expand on the idea but I want to leave room for people to add to it.

again, feel free to throw a completely new idea in the ring, I will take new ideas, but I totally understand not wanting to share ideas.

anyways, run wild!

If he were to get on antidepressants how do we think that would work since he's genetically modified? Would he only need it to kick start his body to create seratonin on its own again? I mean yeah I can just star trek some medical gibberish but I'm trying to be authentic~

Also, is it mean if I write this where he can't get it up which forces him to confront his struggles with intimacy?

@jimrandomh and I are working on prompts to help people notice mistakes they've made recently, and I see no reason not to open this up to the hivemind.

Send me your suggested prompts (ask, reblog, comment, idc)

Some example prompts:

Have you recently started any projects you predictably won't finish?

Have you recently paid any late fees?

Have you missed any deadlines?

Group Brainstorm for Group 1 (Vanessa, Chi, Jorge, Rebecca)

Prompt:

Using your problem definition, come to a consensus on what your idea‐generating question should be. While you brainstorm with your team, be sure to record everyone's ideas. Observe and visualize your brainstorming process (Do you do it remotely? What collaboration software do you use? Are you writing or drawing or something else? How does everyone feel?). Limit the duration of your group brainstorming activity and make sure that you always have the prompt in front of you. Get as many ideas out as possible; the more the better. Once your brainstorming session is over, take a little time to look at the ideas that you have generated as a group and attempt to make an effort to organize them in some logical fashion. Discuss some of your favorite ideas from each other and how you could combine different ideas in various ways.

Process:

From last week’s definition, we nailed down the topic to be power outages. Our group posted individual notes on a Google Drive sheet over the week. Power outages were narrowed into different subtopics:

Chi – Alternative forms of electrical storage

Vanessa – Mobile solutions for electricity

Jorge – Case studies of retrofitting homes/businesses/cities for new electrical technology

Rebecca – Hazards and emergent technologies related to solar panels

After our own individual research, we regrouped to formulate our findings into solving one question: What proactive measures could you take to better equip your home for power outages during natural disasters?

We utilized Coggle to create and collaborate two mind maps ‐ the initial mind map took about twenty minutes to transcribe all of our collective findings into interrelated topics of power outages; the second mind map took about five minutes, where we selected the ideas that best answered the bolded question above.

Through our Google Hangout session (two hours total), we wanted to utilize the current research and ideations to further narrow our power outage solutions to selections that are proactive, affordable, accessible for communities of all financial backgrounds/living circumstances, and feasible in implementation.

Below are the two mind maps; the research potion is these links (which has been shared with Professor Siegal) ‐
