This week began strongly with an engaging activity during the last class meeting. We were tasked with brainstorming solutions in an associative manner, which were then classified into practical, and surprising categories. Our mentors helped us look at things from a different perspective, resulting in a colorful board filled with many practical and surprising ideas. We then analyzed an existing application's features and imagined how it could help solve our problem. The experience was gratifying, and we felt liberated to let our imagination and creativity lead the way.
We were then directed to create a timeline describing a day in the life of our personas - a parent (Limor) and a teenager (Omer). We also had to present the ideal intervention point while using the application. The timeline helped us focus on the places where we could offer the most help to our personas and allowed us to choose the relevant insights and ideas for the following processes. We divided the timeline into three parts: before the interaction, during the interaction, and after the interaction.
The practical ideas included quality time once a week for the parent and teenager, an AI that listens to and analyzes conflicts, a 10-minute conversation per day with Super Nanny, a chat with psychologists, a social network that combines parents and teenagers with challenges for each other, a conversation menu application, and a parent/telephone friend. The impractical ideas included a super nanny inside Alexa, taking the parent and child to a desert island, and a family psychologist living at home.
After a productive day on campus, we continued working with Hades and focused on the timeline and our new HMW. We decided to concentrate on the part immediately after the parent-teen interaction to improve relationships between parents and adolescents. Our direction is for AI to listen to the interaction between parent and child, ask reflective questions of the parent, and provide insights for the next meeting with their child.
We are excited to continue the process and see how we can help parents improve their relationships with their teenage children.
