We had arranged so that the room looked nice, candles, pens, colours and of course beer. Around sevenish people started to flock, and the temperature was high. I started up with telling little about our school, rules and the focus for the coming brainstorm, which was What product could of help the spectators to eat in a fun, practical and reusable way? And after that we had a warm-up, we asked all the guest to tell something we didn’t know about Ruben. All and all I can know say that I know that Ruben has a thing for cats and that he used to be a trapeze dude.
After that we had a little associations game to empty some heads. The participants could freely say what they associated with the word reusable or lunch kit. After this game we had two different brainstorms, one traditional and one negative. The participants seemed to like the negative brainstorm very much, even though it was more nasty and disgusting then negative.
We let the participants to choose their favourite idea and made a new associations game, you should write down your feeling you had during your first kiss and connect those feeling to the idea. Then we had the Idealog method, were each and everyone could write on each other’s ideas. Then we paired them up and told them to prepare a presentation and a sell speech.
It was fun to brainstorm with other people then only Kaospilots. We had ten new faces to concrete on, and it was cool to see how Kaospilot cooperated with non-kaospilots. It was also interesting to have a mix between experts (industrial designers) and “normal” people, us. Many great ideas came out of this day, and I hope that we can use a least some of them, letting Rubens friend to sketch them for our semi-deadline on Monday.
Cheers,
Ellen
