Wallet Design Sprint!

Design Cycle Introduction

Welcome to the Wallet Design Sprint! We will be using the IB MYP Design Cycle as scaffolding for this unit. Your goal will be to empathize with your client through primary interviews before sketching out some ideas for them to consider. Once you gather feedback from each other, you will refine your concept sketches and develop an origami wallet to prototype. After your client is satisfied with the functionality of the prototype, you will create a sturdier version using duct tape to provide them with their ideal wallet!

Design your IDEAL wallet

Before we begin, let's see if anyone already has a great idea for a wallet! Do some quick concept sketching practice.

You have 3 minutes. . . GO!!!
