🚴♀️ Sara's Bike Transformation for Maura
Sara decides to give her used bike to her younger sister Maura. Although the bike is functional, it requires some updates, particularly the seat, which has been damaged by a puppy and is now uncomfortable. A group of friends from an after-school program, which focuses on teaching technical skills, steps in to help. They employ Design Thinking methodology to create a more comfortable seat for Maura's bike. They begin by empathizing with Maura, understanding her needs and preferences for a new seat through interviews and observations. They also conduct research by examining other bike seats and studying various materials for padding and seat covers. The team then moves on to ideation, brainstorming potential designs, materials, and seeking help from others. They generate numerous ideas and questions, leading to several sketches and a list of tasks. A visit to a bicycle repair shop provides them with various seat frame options, sparking a successful brainstorming session filled with creative and wild ideas. The group then proceeds to prototype different seat padding materials and shapes, testing them with Maura's feedback. After several iterations and considerations for durability and aesthetics, they create a fully functional prototype that Maura loves. The project concludes with the team not only creating a perfect seat for Maura but also deciding to start a community program to help other kids, making a positive impact and spreading happiness.

sara is giving her used bike to her
younger sister Maura her bike works just
fine but needs a refresh the seat was
chewed on by their new puppy and is
uncomfortable a group of Mars friends
are in an after-school program that's
teaching them technical skills they want
to make a more comfortable seat for Mars
new bike and are ready to use Design
Thinking to empathize define id8
prototype and test to get the new seat
just right to empathize they interview
Maura about her needs for a new bicycle
seat what does she like about her old
seat what are her preferences in
priorities for a new seat they watch her
get on and off her old bicycle and the
new bicycle to further define their
understanding about Maura and her new
bicycle seat they do some more research
they look closely at other seat designs
of bikes parked at school they take
photos and they study different
materials for padding and the seat frame
cover the team also gets on and off both
bicycles to id8 they first discussed two
approaches do they build a new seat
frame or do they recover the old one
they also think about their
opportunities and constraints such as
money skills and sources the
brainstorming begins they generate a
bunch of ideas for designs source of
materials and people to ask for help
they end up with a lot more question
several sketches and a list of tasks
they get lucky on their first task with
a trip to a bicycle repair shop they
score different views seat frames that
will fit the bike
the result is a long list of
possibilities
some are wild and crazy and that's okay
during ideation wild ideas are
encouraged the group has had a
successful brainstorming session because
they listen to all ideas stayed focused
on their topic and didn't judge or shoot
down anything by following these rules
they were able to playfully and
collaboratively take a deep dive into
their bicycle seat problem and they had
a ton of fun while doing it with their
best ideas in mind the group moves on to
prototype they decide to run trials of
different combinations of seat padding
materials layers of wool foam sponges a
mix of materials they also create model
seat shapes of varying sizes and
cardboard that they attach to the seat
frames to test they ask Mara to sit on
the padding samples and the model seat
shapes attached to the seat frames they
ask a lot of questions and learn a lot
of details that generated some new ideas
for their next prototype after several
prototype iterations and testing for
other considerations like durability and
aesthetics they create a fully
functional prototype Mara loves the new
bike seat and asks if the seat cover
could be her favorite color yellow
creating the perfect seat for Mara
through Design Thinking took many hours
open minds
lots of teamwork constructive chaos and
fresh ideas the team had to be willing
to fail often in order to succeed sooner
but they didn't stop there after making
Mara so happy with their perfect new
bike seat the team is inspired they
decide to start a community program to
create bike seats for other kids in the
community now they're making a positive
impact on their community and making
lots of kids happy too so what will you
do with this
thinking
