💡 Rounding Marketplace Idea Burst
In teams, students revisit their 'How Might We help travelers or shoppers make faster budgeting decisions by rounding numbers?' statement and empathy notes. First, they complete a 10-minute rapid brainstorm aiming for at least 15 different booth or tool ideas (quantity over quality). Next, teams use a simple Crazy-8s sketch round to push beyond obvious ideas (8 quick sketches in 8 minutes). Finally, they sort ideas using a desirability chart (Does this truly help our user?) and select their top 2 concepts. Each team creates detailed concept sketches or a storyboard showing how a user would interact with the solution step-by-step, including at least two 3–4 digit numbers that must be rounded to the nearest 10 or 100 and a labeled place value model.
