Instructions
Working in pairs write a description for your products that will help you describe them to an outside audience. While there are many reasons to create a utility, not all of them practical and related to problem-solving, it is a valuable exercise to describe your work in the following framework:
- What – what "problem" does your app solve? What shortcoming, overabundance, or miscalibration does your utility try to correct (or problematize)?
- Why – why is this important? Does the topic you're addressing respond to a social concern? Is there qualitative, quantitative, or anecdotal, evidence your project engages with?
- How – how does it acheive these goals? Does it make a process more efficient? Or does it slow things down to change your perception?
After answering these questions, synthesize your responses into a short 1-2 paragraph statement that describes your project. When you're preparing your presentation for P1: Personal Utility, include this description in your materials.
