Challenge Problem 5
Team presentations will be done in-class on **Monday, March 19** Written results must be submitted by email to bmonroe@cmu.edu no later than 5:00pm on Tuesday, March 20th.

This assignment is worth 100 points

Overview
In this challenge problem you will build on the work done by the class so far to identify new product and service opportunities relating to capturing and sharing family photos.

For the assignment you need to:
 * Generate a list of at least 75 product/service concepts
 * Use the filtering ideas discussed to narrow the identified concepts down to the 3 most promising product concepts for further investigation
 * Present those three top concepts to the class on Monday, March 19 in no more than 10 minutes
 * Write up a concise report recommending which concepts to evaluate further, and why you make that recommendation. This report should be no longer than three pages and you may assume that you are writing it for the instructor to read. That is, you may assume that I am aware of what you have been asked to do in the report and you can focus almost all of the writing on your proposed concepts and justification rather than lengthy descriptions of the purpose of the assignment, background on the topic, etc.
 * Include the full list of at least 75 product concepts in an appendix to the recommendation paper. There is no limit (minimum or maximum) for the number of appendix pages. Likewise, you can include drawings, sketches, lists, etc. in the appendix. Whatever it takes to show the 75+ concepts you've come up with.

There are three teams for this assignment, each made up of three people. You will work on the same team for challenge problems 5 and 6, and possibly for challenge problem 7 (TBD). Your team should make a single presentation and submit a single written document. Which members of your team participate in the presentation, and how each participates, is each team's individual decision. The grade will be assigned to the full team, regardless of who presents the findings. All team members on a submission will receive the same grade.

Team 1: Ayah, Hamsa, Mohammad Team 2: Fatema, Marwa, Hejji Team 3: Amel, Nahan, Firas

A note on collaboration and citation:
For this assignment you should actively collaborate with the members of your group to put together your presentation and set of pictures/artifacts/quotes. It is ok to discuss the assignment and what you've discovered with students from other groups (or people outside of the class -- more feedback is better). Your group, however, is responsible for your presentation to the class and all of the content that you collect and display. You should not work so closely with people on other teams that you are unable to come up with your own unique ideas and solutions. If you find that you are going down exactly the same design and idea generation path as another group that you have been working with then you are probably working too close together, and should explore possible solutions more independently.

You will need to be more careful with properly citing the work of other people that you incorporate into your presentation and written paper on this challenge problem than you were on the previous challenge problem. As the work we do in the process becomes more polished and more likely to be presented to the world we need to become more careful about citing that work properly. Thus the guidelines presented in the syllabus on incorporating others work apply for the written portion on this assignment.
