Design thinking rubric Empathise Define Ideation Prototype Evaluate Extending Has sought more than one way to connect with users and shows insight and depth when talking about users’ needs. The design brief is clearly re-framed around a user and the needs of the user are included in the point of view statement. A large number of ideas that show variety in thinking. The student chooses a few diverse ideas to further develop. They work as a team to build on each other’s ideas. The prototype demonstrates how it is a solution for users. The iterations as well as challenges are described in reference to any testing completed. The designer describes in detail all iterations and what was learnt from each user testing as well as how effective their final product is in relation to the needs of the user. Proficient Empathy is expressed by explaining what needs the users have including user essentials. They discuss what surprised them about their users. The point of view statement is revised and described with the user in mind. A large number of ideas ranging from sensible and easy to create to those that are creative and difficult to create.
