1. Challenge: Describe your challenge, including all relevant information.

The challenge is trying to come up with new ways to solve a certain project at work.

2. Selection: In your own words, briefly describe the tool you selected (e.g., what it

is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video

lecture references).

The tool I used was draw.io. It is a visualization tool that works using drag and drop.

3. Application: Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge

(e.g., what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively).

I applied my tool by putting the project name in the middle and then branching out its  objectives out of it. From the objectives, I branched out different ways to approach the  objective, and branched out further and further. After that I was able to connect some

different ideas together to get through and it was amazing.

4. Insight: Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to

your challenge (e.g., how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge

and about design thinking more broadly).

The insight I gained was how easy it becomes to do a project once you have it written  down. Additionally, putting ideas down continuously makes a network of strings that  may end up connecting together in unseen ways.

5. Approach: Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same

tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s) why.

I want to try mind-mapping two projects at once and see if I can connect them together
