Assignment 2A - Ideation

Requirements

Similar to Assignment 1 the deliverables for this assignment are broken into three stages to scaffold a timeline. For the full assignment description please refer to the Unified Assignment Requirements page.

Deliverable

The general expectation for format for each stage of this assignment is flexible. There are many different formats for brainstorming and prototyping, especially given the remote format. Each deliverable has a suggested format but if you want to use some other platform or tool just reach out ahead of time. For Assignment 2A we suggest you turn in slide deck (using PowerPoint or Google Slides) that includes the following:

1. A slide describing your concrete educational goals: A short (~1 paragraph) description of the specific educational goal you decided to focus on.
2. A slide describing your brainstorming process: A brief description of your general strategy to brainstorming. This could be as simple as a brief paragraph of how you thought about the task. You might also include any interesting insights you had along the way.
3. One slide for each of your (at least) 10 game ideas: Individual ideas can be structured using whichever format is appropriate for how you approach the process. The could be anything from a short paragraph, or bulleted list, to a hand drawn sketch. This list will be lightly graded for depth. For example, an idea of the form "X but on a phone" would be considered shallow. You can have these kinds of ideas in the process but we are looking for at least 10 that have some real substance to them.
