Design Thinking Gallery Walk!

Our design thinking team has been hard at work trying to solve the problem of voter participation. Each student drafted their own solution to the problem on large format chart paper before participating in a gallery walk activity. In the gallery walk students reviewed all the solutions presented and left both questions and feedback with sticky notes.  A wide range of solutions were presented including:

• Online voting
• Bringing voting to the people 
• Extended voting
• Making voting mandatory
• Putting candidate positions on the ballot
• Making election day a holiday
• weekend voting 

In the end students reflected on all the proposals and the great ideas put forth. We will now be moving forward by choosing one or more of the ideas to prototype and test. Look for future updates here on the GEMS Innovation Lab Blog!
