Creative Design & Innovation
CATEGORY | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
DESIGN SOLUTION | The design solution is not generated by previous ideas, testing theories, creating artifacts or solving problems. | The design solution attempts to solve a problem, but the problem is vague and/or broad. | The design solution is developed from to solve a problem, previous ideas, testing theories, creating artifacts or solving problems. The design solution is broad. | The design solution is developed to solve a problem, represent ideas, test theories, or create artifacts. The design solution is poignant to the problem. The design solution is focused and feasible. |
GLOBAL COLLABORATOR | Jump to the problem and solution without researching, interviewing or collaborating. | Come to broad problem and solutions with limited amount of research, interviews and collaboration. | Come to multiple solutions with research, interviews and collaboration. | Able to narrow down broad topics to a single problem and a potential solution through research, interviews and collaboration. |
RE-INNOVATION | Develops a single prototype/models as part of a design process but does not test or reflect on refinements. | Develops a prototype/ models as part of a design process, has ideas for redevelopment based on reflection, but does not know how to adjust the refinements to be workable under the confinements of time and resources. | Develops a prototype/ models as part of a design process, tests and trials prototype and redevelopments prototype based on results. Able to clearly articulate a thoughtful plan with refinements based on results of testing, but does not have the resources or time to reconstruct prototype. | Develops a prototype/ models as part of a design process, tests and trials prototype and redevelopments prototype based on results. Successfully adjusts the refinements to be workable under the confinements of time and resources. |
BRAINSTORMING | Struggles or inconsistently uses brainstorming techniques to explore problems. Exhibits little tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance, and the capacity to work with open-ended problems. | Minimally uses brainstorming techniques to explore problems. Exhibits tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance, and the capacity to work with open-ended problems. | Uses brainstorming techniques to explore problems. Takes on projects with ambiguity, perseverance, and the capacity to work with open-ended problems. | Guides brainstorming circles with peers and helps others draw on techniques to explore problems. Exhibits a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance, and the capacity to work with open-ended problems. |
