What’s This About?
Even the best idea doesn’t matter if no one needs it. This lesson helps you figure out:
- Who your idea helps
- What they actually need
- Why they would care
When you know your people—you can build something they’ll love.
Your Steps Today:
1. Watch “What’s My Element” video above.
- Why understanding your user is everything
- Simple tools to get clear on who you’re helping
- Real examples of “user-first” thinking
2. Complete the user snapshot
Download the User Snapshot (in your Toolbox). Fill in the basics for one type of user:
- Name (real or made-up)
- Age / life situation
- What they struggle with
- What they want
- How your idea helps
Tip: Think of someone you know—or someone like you.
3. Talk to one real person (at least)
This could be:
- A friend, sibling, classmate, or parent
- Someone who might need what you’re creating
Ask – ideas for questions, you can design your own interview.
- “Have you ever felt this problem?”
- “What would help you?”
- “Does my idea make sense?”
Your goal: listen, not sell.
What to Submit
- Your completed User Snapshot
- A 2–3 sentence insight from your conversation (if you had one)
