Stage 5: Test

In this stage of the challenge, you will put your idea to the test! Test out your prototype with a group of users and collect feedback. The purpose of this stage is to better understand your solution and how users interact with it. Make sure you observe your users, ask questions, and reflect on the feedback given.

Potential questions to ask for feedback: How could this solution impact your experience? What do you like about the solution? What might make an even better solution? What do you wish this solution had? What questions do you have about the solution?

Since design thinking is an iterative process, we recommend you revisit previous stages based on your findings and further refine your idea if you have time. If not, that’s okay too! Just make sure you include what you would have done in your summary video.

Questions to reflect on: What went well? What are areas for improvement? Are what users are saying align with what we want to achieve? How could we make our solution better?
