Friday 9/2

Today we created individual blogs and submitted the URL/ reviewed the 50 things lists from last class to come up with some of the tasks that seemed feasible to tackle for our design project - can we really create a solution to this? Yes!

After sharing around the room and making a list of those things, we went out to create temporary impairments and see what it might be like to have to use crutches, have an arm in a sling, splint an injured/broken finger, tape knuckles to simulate arthritis, wear blurry goggles to understand vision impairments, etc.  while undertaking several simple tasks (writing, opening a door, opening a water bottle, filling in a form, etc).  Your partner was to photograph and/or video you experiencing this empathy exercise.
