• Step 1: Choose 1 or more techniques
BRAINWRITING – COCNCEPT TREES – SUPERHEROES
• Step 2: Watch the videos and read the descriptions for the chosen techniques. Generate ideas for a problem or situation at home, at work or anything else.
• Step 3: Complete Idea generation technique questions
• Step 4: Fill out the weekly exercise reflection survey

Modified form of classic brainstorming. There are many varieties, but the general process is that all ideas are recorded by the individual who thought of them. They are then passed on to the next person, who uses them as a trigger for their own ideas.
A concept tree or concept fan starts with an idea and uses that idea to identify concepts, or connecting points, from which alternative ideas can be derived. This is more of an individual technique, but a group could develop a concept tree together in stages.
Fantasy-based version of Role Storming and is similar to other boundary. Participants pretend to be a fictional (or real) super-hero and use their ‘super’ characteristics to trigger and develop ideas.

How might I practice more
physical exercises?
Work, study, traffic, leisure, family, fiancé, and so on. Picture of several people's lives in the 21st century. How can we be more physically actives with these restrictions?
São Paulo – SP, Brazil

Top 5 ideas
• My choices were based on viabilityaccording to:
• Everyday’s restrictions, Fun, Ease
• Due to the cheapness of some ideas, it's possible don't run only one idea, but a combination.
• I would try to stretch every day, buy a Kinect and have a trampoline at home. To live near work can be expensive and maybe not too viable. And take medicines can be dangerous because of collateral effects, I think medicine should evolve more to make it safer.

How might I learn more in
less time?
We live in a world in which information quantity increases fast. On the other hand, we work a lot, and we spend too much time on traffic, or doing useless activities like updating all social networks possible.

Top 5 ideas
• My choices were based on viability according to:
• Everyday’s restrictions, Ease
• I think it's possible don't run only one idea, but a combination.
• I would try to read or listen to lessons during way home or going to work (actually, I already do the first). Sometimes I make home office and I particularly think that it's a great way to improve productivity, decrease fatigue, decrease traffic and so on; I think home office certainly has a place in near future culture. Take medicines (like an astronaut!) can be a gain of health and of time, but collateral effects frightens me. And to live near work can be expensive and maybe not too viable.

CONCLUSION
![Page 17: CIC Week 3: Idea Generation Techniques - part 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050804/549ccf3db47959d9318b486f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Conclusion
• Concept trees method is better than Superheroes, at least to be donealone
• The recursive characteristic of Concept trees is very powerful and makes the flow of ideas constant
• The magic characteristic of Superheroes enables us to have inspiring insights about how to solve the problem in an easy way
• During the brainstorming, ideas that aren't compatible with the method itself come to mind. This is great and they mustn't be wasted.
• Practice can turn it all easier
