Empathize – user persona
Goal: to identify and better understand the people affected by the problem statement. They are potential users of the design solution.
Why: gaining an appreciation and understanding of a potential user’s needs, wants, motivations, behaviours and barriers helps us design more meaningful solutions to a problem.

Empathy map
Goal: to summarize how a potential user relates to the design challenge (sustainable energy future).
Why: an empathy map helps create a deeper understanding of the perspective of a potential user.

Empathy mapWhat actions might your user do in relation to sustainable energy? How might your user think and
feel about sustainable energy?
Identify needs, goals and wishes…What does your user need to contribute to a more sustainable energy future? Why?

Super speed brainstorming
Goal: to quickly generate innovative solutions to the design challenge.
Why: limiting the amount of time you have to think encourages you to be more creative. You have less time to second guess or doubt your ideas.
