Monday 4th February

Today we looked at ways to brainstorm and develop our ideas and concepts. We were put into groups according to what brief we wanted to work on. I personally decided to go for the designing cutlery for kids option.

We were set methods of brainstorming, our first of which was called intermediate impossible. This method required us to think of the most radical and impossible way of designing our product and working out ways that we could reach this outcome.

Our ideas included:

- cutlery that flies
- cutlery drives around the plate like a train
- cutlery is temperature sensitive and gives off an alarm if too hot
- design the cutlery so it more like a game for the child.

We then took each idea and considered the positives and negatives and whether what we considered would be reachable.

I found this method of brainstorming extremely effective. It allowed you to be really creative and think about the most innovative crazy ways kids could use their utensils to eat and make it enjoyable.
