The document discusses using prototypes to solve problems through design thinking. It describes prototyping as a way to learn and test ideas through low-fidelity representations before fully implementing products or experiences. The document then guides participants through an exercise where they prototype redesigns of conference badges by interviewing partners, sketching ideas, and getting feedback on their prototypes in order to better facilitate connecting with others. Real-world examples of prototyping digital experiences, in-person interactions, and organizational structures are also provided, along with encouragement to try prototyping and resources for further information.

- 20. 1. What do you like most & least about your badge? Why? 2. What do you like most & least about connecting with colleagues? Why? Interview starter questions 2 minutes x 2
- 21. Use your new knowledge about your partner to sketch out ideas for a badge just for him/her. Plan + sketch 2 minutes on your own
- 23. Build your prototype 4 minutes on your own Remember: It’s not supposed to be perfect. You’re designing for your user.
- 24. 1. Describe what excites you most about this prototype? Why? 2. If you could change one thing about it, what would it be? Test: ask your partner… 2 minutes x 2
