This week we got together again and worked hard on figuring out what exactly our opportunity space is going to be and why we thought it was a good one. Then it was down to the nitty gritty of sorting out the rules and regulations of our team contract, and dividing up the administrative tasks. Not all fun and games, but we kept it lively. We’ll be having one last meeting on Friday this week to fi […]

Dear all,

We have been busy this week as we had two important steps.

First, as said in our previous post, the team met on Monday to talk about the best opportunities to choose. We first put the less innovative opportunities aside and voted to select the 2 most interesting opportunity spaces.

We then presented our two problematics to our supervisors on Wednesday. The meeting was really interesti […]

Hello everyone

This weekend we innovated in the way we work. We went all weekend to Champéry, around a good Swiss style raclette, an escape room, and a short walk in the mountains.
Our accommodation was located in front of the palladium where a junior hockey competition was held! So we went there to analyze the players in real time.
We also took the time to work on the Mass Challenge which is co […]

Hello,

Last Tuesday, we met for the second time and discussed the themes we can explore. Indeed, we organized the first steps of the Design Thinking process, which took place at the HEIA Fribourg.

It began with the selection of subjects to be explored, which were sports, tourism, environment, disabilities, restauration, repetitive tasks and education. Moreover, our favorite ones were educati […]

All together again and sharing ideas. We have been defending our views and looking for new methods to boost our creativity. It is now time to narrow down the scope of our research.

Still in the opportunity space research phase, the objective is to be ready on the 16th of december with 2 choices fully documented. Our objective is […]

Dear ResourceFul’s fans,

We had the following categorie […]

Today we had a group meeting which helped us define a little bit more our solution.

After some research and many discussions, we got to understand a few point about houseplants.

• More light is always better than less
• One’s more likely to kill his plant by overwatering instead of under-watering.
• But under-watering remains a problem for a few of us.

Since we were only five members during the kick off week-end and the initial sixth member had to resign on this project, we didn’t get to know the remaining member of our team until this week. Last Monday, we had the pleasure to meet as a full team for the first time!

All aboard! Our team is composed of two design […]

Plants love light: at every moment billions of trees worldwide stretch, twist and do everything possible to reach their sunny place in the forest.

As a tree that is looking for its bright spot, we have been “stretching” our imagination looking for a bright idea, one that will turn our intuitions into an applicable opportunity.

As we mentioned in previous post […]

This week we had to present our opportunity space. For this reason we discussed at length and summarized our perception of the initial theme of the “Less is more”.

We can therefore ask, what does “Less is more” mean according to La Table ?

“Less is more” can be applied to many fields such as design, engineering, art or ecology. The theme came with the idea to reduce consumption or at the ver […]

This week was a very productive week for our team, and at the end of it we now know we must (very likely) change our name soon. 

After having dived into the pollinisation problem that we already mentioned several times, we realized it was not best suited for a connected device for different reasons. Among theses, the fact tha […]

Hi everyone!

What’s new in the Resourceful team?

We interviewed several people to choose which field we will explore during the next steps. We decided to work on concussions. We had the opportunity to discuss with a physiotherapist who works very closely with professional […]

The less is more team attended an unexpected workshop last week-end. The later aimed to push the team to write a contract that sets rules within the group to reach a shared goal.

We went through many discussions on what was our goal, how to deal with a free rider, how to divide the work. We all agree that emphasising free speech is a key aspect of group consistency. This way, we believe that many […]

Hi folks!

Today we brainstormed a lot about our subject and ideas.

We are trying now to focus on something more accurate than just big themes. So, we figured out that our last ideas with the insects was a little bit too specific and difficult to visualize. The one with the bird also felt uncertain because of the field limitation. It’s hard to work with living organism that requ […]
