In order to deeply understand the problem we are trying to solve,we have to organise our ideas and see if they meet up the global goals expectations and standards.To achieve that we worked with post it stickers wich we conected to one another,in order to test the sustainability our ideas would have.

No matter how easy this process might seem,skipping it would cause a chaos for anyone trying to solve a problem.Being always able to check if your plans can meet your expectations and the global standards helps a lot in design thinking and problem solving.

By having all of our post-it stickers together,we found out which actions would help our idea come to life.For example,we realised that no matter how good and one of a kind some ideas were, we wouldn’t be able to bring them to life due to laws ,governmental involvement or trade factors that were limitting our choices.

Apart from the difficulties we faced,some good points emerged,as well.For instance, it became clear to us that even if we weren’t able to help people in first hand,we were still able to become the “connector” within people that would like to share their spare food( or help in other ways),and big super markets , organisations and other companies that already ran campaigns like the ones we would.

Through this process, we became able to move forward to the next steps and slowly start working on our prototype through conversations and interviews with other people that would discuss with us about their food and cooking habbits as well as give us their personal opinions and instructions about our final prototype.
