I have an Idea...what do I do now?
The Project Process
- Define the Problem
- What are you trying to make or solve or create? You can't start until you know what you are interested in.
- Gather information
- Do research, talk to people, watch videos to find out more about your project.
- Brainstorm and evaluate ideas
- Create a list ideas that you can use to start. Evaluate that list for the ideas that you think will be the most successful.
- Build a model or prototype
- Start building or creating or coding or whatever you need to get your project complete.
- Test your model or prototype
- Start trials. What worked? What didn't? What would you change to make it better? Present your project to someone else for some constructive feedback.
- Make changes to your design/project
- Get back to work and make the changes you think will help make your project better.
- Get back to work and make the changes you think will help make your project better.
- Keep testing...and continue to make changes until you are satisfied with the result.
