Student-facing instructions
You will start by reviewing your empathy maps and interview quotes, focusing on 3-5 specific user needs or emotions. Form teams and engage in a rapid-fire brainstorming session to generate at least 20 distinct visual or textile-based ideas that communicate belonging, migration, resilience, or family memory. Record all ideas on chart paper without judging them, ensuring each idea connects to a direct quote or theme from 'Esperanza'. Discuss your ideas within your team, listening to each other's perspectives and collaborating effectively.
