Tecnocreatividad: solves challenges of everyday life

“Congratulations on making it to the last video lesson! I hope that by now you have a fully filled workbook and that you have experimented with enthusiasm and interest in this approach to technocreativity. Being an introductory course I have come as far as I have been able to go, but I will be happy to expand with new courses and lessons, building on it and accompanying you on this spectacular journey to excellence and wisdom. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share all the phases of your project, that is, everything that you have been working on in the course workbook. Next, we are going to review the key phases of the project. It would be great if you showed me a picture of each phase and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. 1. Define your challenge The first step was to define a challenge. A challenge that, in my case, was daily and where a smartphone had a presence, since it would be the technology to solve it.

2. Detect insights After choosing the challenge, we must find insights, those hidden truths that we need in order not to solve a symptom, but what lies behind it. 3. Break down a smartphone In my project, since the technology to use was a smartphone, I decomposed one into its fundamental parts, at least in the physical layer (at the operating system and applications level we did not get involved), thus understanding its capabilities much more. 4. Structured creativity exercise "How Might We" With the knowledge of the challenge through the insights and the technology to be used (brief research phase); I started the ideation using “How Might We”, a very simple but powerful tool that, through questions, removes the mental barriers to come up with disruptive ideas. 5. Prioritization matrix Then, I chose a maximum of 5 ideas and categorized them in the prioritization matrix, keeping the first 3. 6. Exercise of structured creativity SCAMPER These I took them to another tool, the SCAMPER, to enrich them following the agile philosophy of iterative and incremental. After enriching them, I evaluated if I had improved them with respect to the challenge, updating the score and keeping the final one. 7. Improve your solution technologically But it needed to give it another turn, trying to expand outside the smartphone and wondering if new components and functionalities were needed to improve it. With this last iteration, I created the ideation process. 8. Mood board Before doing the final presentation, I did a little mood board exercise. 9. Presentation of the solution The next block is the presentation of the idea, where I described it, raised a flow chart and, finally, a storyboard; the three necessary tools not only to better communicate the idea, but to check if there is something that is not clear or has escaped us. 10. Prototyping of the solution Finally, it remains to work on the prototyping of the solution that you have created, following the tips that I gave you in Unit 4. Enjoy the process itself, the creative part and, above all, letting myself be carried away by curiosity. Don't forget to share your progress and ideas on the forum! You will find me there for any questions you have. Anyway, I want to invite you to participate actively in the forum, both sharing your progress and giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It is sure to be very enriching for everyone! Remember to also rate and share the course! If you find it interesting, we will continue to deepen with new deliveries. See you on the forum! ”

Partial transcription of the video

“Final project We finished this course. I wish you enjoyed the first contact with technocreativity. Before leaving I want to review some keys seen here. We started with the concept of technocreativity and how is it linked to create multidisciplinary, neo-generalist or polymath profiles. We saw different forms of talent, in the form of T, of Pi, of M, vertical areas of knowledge and the importance of the transversal competences that give us breadth. We develop a techno-creative process from challenge to solution and prototyping. No matter the process, is to generate broad and diverse tools. I...”
