Prototyping 101

I created a mini guest lecture for this semester’s Innovation for Justice course, so thought I’d share it here. I cover:

  • Definition of a prototype: a visual representation of an idea
  • Value of prototyping: getting feedback, getting a team on the same page
  • Characteristics of a prototype: visual, imperfect, iterative
  • Examples of prototypes: paper, 3D representations, digital mockups
  • Considerations: audience, level of fidelity, goals
