How Might We...?

This template is designed to guide students through the brainstorming process for the EWB challenge, focusing on crafting effective "How might we...?" statements. It follows a structured approach to help students explore potential solutions systematically:

1. How Would You Measure Success?

   • Begin by defining clear criteria for success. Consider what specific outcomes would indicate that the solution is effective.

2. 'How Might We...?'

   • Formulate a "How might we...?" statement that encapsulates the challenge you're addressing. This statement should be open-ended, inspiring creative and innovative thinking.

3. Why Does This Solution Not Already Exist?

   • Reflect on the current barriers or gaps that have prevented this solution from being implemented. Consider technological, economic, social, or environmental factors.

4. What is Stopping You from Achieving This? (Problem Tree)

   • Identify the root causes of the challenge by creating a problem tree. This will help you understand the underlying issues that need to be addressed to achieve your solution.
