Hi my name is Silvia, I am a student at  the IIT. First, I would like  to talk about a little bit of mind mapping.  Mind mapping is one of the most powerful tools  in the design thinking toolbox. it's used to look for patterns, it's used to look for insights,  that lead to more creative solutions to your design challenge.      Mind mapping is a tool that I use most of the time in my school, and it has helped me to  make my projects look positive in a creative way. Right now, I am a student at the  IIT (located in Mexico), and I carry out subjects in which they make  us interact with other people doing teamwork. Practically most of the time I spend  interacting with people, talking about problems, and we always try to solve them by giving  each our point of view, and finally arrive with the best solution and the best idea.  However, this whole process has not been easy, and thanks to the Mind Mapping tool it  has helped us to organize our ideas and to better understand the situation.    I have a story specifically in which we use these kinds of tools, this was in a subject called  "reflection project," in which we had to gather several people to think about a problem  that people with disabilities suffer, and makes it difficult for them to enter a public place  specifically in a hotel.     We got some ideas on how to solve this problem, however our ideas were many and not  very specific, but thanks to the Mind Mapping tool we were able to organize more. Since  each of us had different ideas, we had to expose them in an innovative way ,which by this  means (using Mind Mapping) the other colleagues were able to understand with what we  wanted to understand , that is, the possible solutions to the problem . Finally,this is a type  of tools more visual than conceptual , therefore also the project we chose could be better  understood.    The ideas we put forward were different as well as making a mechanism of escalators so  that people with this disability could move from one place to another easily ,We also had  the idea of making an emergency bracelet with which I had the purpose that with a sensor  , they inside the hotel could contact those who work in the hotel and so be able to locate  them by means of the device ,and thus attend to them in what they need. Finally thanks  to this tool we were also able to use it for the results we obtained when making our  prototype.    It also helped us a lot to organize our results that we got from doing the hotel survey, and  so they told us their opinion about this project. Finally, I can say that even people outside  our environment made us some comments, which many of them concluded that thanks to  our organization , innovation, and creativity (by using a Mind Map), they were able to  better understand the project, and the results were successful.
