Your Project Page and Pitch

The outcome

There is no specific “end product” of your team work. The evaluation-related challenges are so diverse that no one-size-fits-all format will do justice. However, your team project´s outcome should go beyond a mere documented debate and relate to the above defined criteria.

Some ideas for viable products of the Evaluation Hackathon:

  • A policy brief or concept paper that could be distributed to relevant decision makers (in organizations, institutions, political bodies, associations, etc.)
  • A campaign strategy that could be implemented with respective partners
  • A user journey, describing a person´s experience during your propsed service, application, etc
  • … whatever you come up with!

If you want to try the Design Thinking Process you might want to:

  • scrutinize your assumption whether this product is really solving the problem
  • build a prototype and test it, test, it, test it

The solution you have worked out has to be presented in a 2-3 min video!
