During this unit we were working our way up to the final performance task. In order to complete this performance task we used the 5 D’s, our core values and even how our collaboration in this project helped us finish it.

How Did Our 5 D’s Help Us In Our Performance task?

    While working to make our way into the performance task, we used the 5 D’s to help us in order to complete this performance. How did it help us? You may ask. Well allow me to explain to you why and how it helped us complete this performance task.

Design Thinking Reflection–

Discover–

• The way that “Discover” was used during this process was by the fact that we noticed that many students don’t exactly know where the main office is or where Ashley is. So, we discovered that we must make a map of maker to help students find their way through the maker academy.

Define–

• During this process we were able to use “Define” to help us as well. The way it helped us was by identifying the criteria we need and describing them for some good map needs. 

Design–

• How did we proceed to make a maker map for anyone needs? Well, some of the things that we did to help us was identifying the knows and needs to know about the map. Then, we were able to explore the school and ask many questions to staff members to get any information we needed to be able to continue with the map. Next, we made a prototype that’ll help us in the future with making our final map. Lastly, we made a final project that we made of maker.

Develop–

• During this step of the design thinking process, from the first prototype, us as a group were able to discover any flaws or highlight to be able to meet our criteria even better. 

Deliver–

• This final step of design thinking process was our final map of maker which is the photo at the very top.

 

Core Values Reflection–

During this process in making of the maker map, I was able to use two core values which were Empathy & Curiosity. What do they mean? How did I use them? You may ask, well allow me to explain….

Empathy– Helping or disagreeing /agreeing to ideas to help one another out or feel for each other to understands one’s opinion or statement the other has claimed.

A time where I used Empathy was that I was able to assist Hayden in adding stuff and understanding her explanation on why it was needed to be added and whether I were to agree or disagree.

Another example can be used outside of class such as, when I was able to assist my sister in her project and we both shared off many opinions and why they should be added in her powerpoint. She nailed that project.

Curiosity– Exploring different ideas, options, or even opinions/statements. Its to also be open minded about any ideas that come to also explore those too.

A time where I used Curiosity was when I was able to look through my planner, and look at the staffs answer, and also the knows and needs to know and explore those ideas to see if there were anything that I could add that would be useful in the map.

This core value can be used outside as well and an example of these is when I learned about the LGBTQ community and was learning about the many things among it and I was pretty amazed about it.

Collaboration & Communication Reflection–

During the completion of this map, I was able to collaborate with others in my group to help complete the map of maker. An example of this moment was when we were helping/adding onto the “Pro Tips” Section of the map because we wanted to be able to add more information that’ll help any future maker.
