GOAL ANALYSIS
!9
Goal analysis helped us identify the goals of users, including as an organization our goals for them, and also their own goals in this experience. !The design will be focusing on these goals, and they are the success metrics for the future product - do we/they achieve these goals in new product?

DESIGN CHALLENGES
!16
Focusing on each step in the journey, we brainstormed the design challenges which will drive our design process.
Our design is aiming to take the challenges in the journey and all the solutions will be challenge-focused.
PRIORITIZED CHALLENGES
!17
How do we generate more interest in the platform?
How do we facilitate team creation?
How do we support teams to complete everything?
How do we inspire the girls to keep working on their
apps?
How do we make it rewarding for students to
stay engaged?
How do we evaluate program effectiveness?
We asked all our participants to prioritize all the challenges and as result we came up with a list of the most important design challenges.
IDEATION
!18
For each design challenge, we ideated on over 15 ideas on sketch paper. By sharing our ideas with one
another, everyone is on same page.
PRIORITIZED IDEAS
!19
We prioritized our ideas and put them back on the journey to see how they improved the whole experience which finalized our 7 core ideas.

Curriculum
LESSON 1LEARN THE BASICS OF APP INVENTOR!Today you will learn a little about the Technovation program, explore the basics of MIT App Inventor (AI), and work through some tutorials. (For those of you who participated last year and are familiar with App Inventor 1 already, we recommend trying App Inventor 2. It’s awesome! The instructions in the following tutorials are all designed for App Inventor 2.) !To learn about Technovation, look through the Technovation curriculum, familiarize yourself with the 2014 App Theme, and take a look at the Judging Rubric. Also check out the Technovation Community. It’s an online conversation space where you can post messages to other Technovation participants around the world. You’ll find links to the Technovation Community and other useful resources on the right-hand side of every lesson page.
