1. Empathize- find the pain points with the problem

We identified three stakeholders, created a list of 6 key questions, asked these to three people (one student, one teacher and one parent) and also transferred them into a google form.

# data[].attributes.body
We sent a simple email to 3 students and 1 teacher with a link to our google form to get their opinion on heat and shaded areas.

Research notes

# data[].attributes.body
We transferred the google form responses into a google sheet.

What are some challenges people have shared about the area?

They shared that the rainbow stairs/amphitheatre, the field,

first floor outdoor space, and the main entrance have the most sun, especially the rainbow stairs.

Is there any other question you think you should have added that would have helped to get better information?

We could have asked 'What features of a shading system do you think are useful?'

1. What outcome does the audience want?

They want to be able to use the outdoor spaces without feeling the unbearable heat.

2. Why do they want it?

They want to be able to mainly lounge and eat outside during break.

3. What's stopping them from achieving it?

There is too much sun and constant heat, and we lack shaded areas in the school premises. It is very unbearable for teachers on duty, parents waiting to pick up their kids, and students are forced to stay indoors during red days (high temperature days).

OUR PROBLEM STATEMENT

In many outdoor areas of the school, students, teachers, and parents are exposed to a sun that beats down relentlessly. This results in the outdoor spaces becoming uncomfortable and even unbearable. The lack of shaded areas in school premises contributes to this, leading to discomfort, overheating, and reduced use of outdoor spaces. There is a clear need for an innovative and sustainable shading system to provide comfort, safety, and improve usability.

We brainstormed some ideas to reduce the sun's effect, chose our top 3 favourites to further investigate, and listed some things to consider.

4. Ideate 2 -select and analyse top options and make a decision for which one you will draft

# data[].attributes.body
We evaluated our favourite top 3 ideas. Because we had to choose the option with the lowest total as the highest-ranked one, we decided to focus on and implement all of them.

# data[].attributes.body
We gathered real-life examples for inspiration and put them into a labelled moodboard.

# data[].attributes.body
We sketched our first draft!

# data[].attributes.body
We reflected, we asked a student for feedback, and we also asked a teacher for their feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
To the second draft, we took some feedback from a student and decided to add a misting system to cool the area around the shade even more!

# data[].attributes.body
Here is a list of 5 things we need for our design to succeed!

# data[].attributes.body
What is going well?

Tinkercad is familiar to use because we have used it in PD a lot through the years

What is challenging?

We are unsure of how to show the wire and the misting spray.

What are your next steps?

We need to add the wiring and the misting sprays. Maybe add more leaves too.

Use cool, light-colored roofs and surfaces as light colors reflect sunlight and keep buildings cooler. This helps lower temperatures inside and outside.

Plant more trees for shade as trees give shade and cool the air around them. Adding trees and plants in your design helps reduce heat.

Add water features like fountains or misting as water cools the air when it evaporates. Including water spots in your design can make outdoor areas feel cooler.

WWW - good pitch with points clear. A nice problem statement that states the issue clearly with detail and a well thought solution.

EBI - It could be better if the pitch flows smoothly from problem to solution with a strong closing statement that gets more interest.

Biodegradable plastic leaves with mist sprayers, safely wired and recycled with eco-friendly inks, installed on the roof to cool outdoor spaces.

On the day we are going to present, we decided to present this Padlet as it shows our progress and all the effort put in. It also clearly displays the different stages of the project and outlines everything we needed to complete along the way. Additionally, we will show slides that summarize our work and present the overall finished product on Tinkercad.
