- What did you learn in this video?
- Make notes of your ideas!
- What is your next step?
You’ve got a spark—your problem and your why. Now it’s time to start building something that could solve it.
Your Steps Today:
1. Watch the video above.
- Why your first idea doesn’t have to be perfect
- Simple ways to start building
How great solutions often start weird, small, and half-formed
2. Choose One Problem to Focus On
Open your journal or Spark Canvas. Look at your problems.
Pick one that:
- Excites you
- Feels personal
- Feels doable-ish
That’s your Starter Problem.
3. Sketch a Simple Solution
Use the Idea Snapshot in your Prototype Planner (Toolbox).
Answer these prompts:
- Who is this idea for?
- What does it help them do or solve?
- What’s your rough idea? (a product, a service, a tool, a movement?)
- Why is this better or different than what’s out there?
You can draw, write, or voice-record your answer.
What to Submit
- Your Idea Snapshot (typed or uploaded)
- 2–3 sentences about why you chose this problem to work on
- Optional: Sketch or visual of your rough idea
Most people never get past the idea phase. But you’re not “most people.” You’re a FutureMaker.
“Start where you are. Use what you have. Build what matters.”
You just moved from spark to structure. Let’s keep going.
