RBI : A New Approach to Rapid Generation of Big Ideas When Working in Intergenerational Design Teams

In an ideal world, there is time for all members of an intergenerational design team of children and adults to present, aggregate, and evaluate the suggestions that come out of work done with a design target concurrently by subgroups during a session. However, when presented with either a relatively large set of features or not enough copies of prototypes to distribute, time or resource constraints mean this is not always realistic in practice. For those design experiences when time is short and quick design ideas are needed, a rapid evaluation of designs and big ideas generation can be utilized to provide feedback on numerous designs and/or features.
