What is the purpose of the UP?
To identify the biggest problem shown in the future scene. It is often the root cause of many other challenges.
where
how many solutions do you pick for the grid?
8
How should you start your AP?
"we set out to"...[solve UP]
which sentence starter is this challenge missing?
This may cause slowdowns in transportation of resources to lunar bases. This may negatively affect the living condition of people living on lunar bases, as they might not have access to adequate resources in a timely manner.
"Because"...[issues stated directly in future scene]
Define scope, specificity, and relevancy
Scope: The range the problem covers (most often # of people)
Specificity: How broad the problem is (ie leukemia vs disease) ---> be sure to find the middle point! It must be broad enough to be able to generate 16 different solutions, but narrow enough to be solvable.
Relevancy: How much does it relate to the future scene?
What MUST you tie a solution back to?
The purpose and charge! Ideally KVP too
in the grid, does a higher score or lower score indicate a better solution?
higher
You should only explain 3 criteria when discussing criteria!
False. You must discuss at least 3, but ideally all 5
What is wrong with this challenge format?
[Because]...[this may cause]....[This may negatively affect]...[How might we]?
Challenges should not include "how might we", that is for the UP"
what are some common mistake made when writing the UP?
1. incorrect format (forgetting parameters, no KVP, multiple purposes)
2. forgetting relationship to charge --> super important
T/F Including research will make the solution too long
FALSE!! PLEASE INCLUDE RESEARCH AND STATISTICS
should you include potential issues of your solution?
yes! obstacles are important, and you must explain how to address them
What is the format of challenges?
-state the challenge
-explain the effect
-explain why it matters
Which one(s) of these is NOT a suitable verb for a KVP: maximize, minimize, reduce, legitimize, operate, decrease, highlight
legitimize, operate, highlight
to get elaboration points, what dimensions do you need to include?
-who
-what
-why
-how
what should your first two criteria be?
kvp & purpose
As long as my AP contains a BUNCH of research, I will score high!
Unfortunately no. You must tie your AP back to the future scene using the KVP, purpose, and charge.
Explain the meaning of the originality point
How unique/novel an idea is
How many challenges can I reference in my UP?
1-2
Can you reference living people in your solutions (ie Elon Musk will build a flying car)
No! You can use existing companies (like Boeing), but not people
what counts as targetted criteria?
a) from UP (kvp or purpose)
b) specific to the future scene, using the format: "since ......., which solution best/most......?"
List FIVE dimensions you could add to your AP
Obstacles (like funding), how you will overcome those obstacles, timeline, partners, and additional benefits.
