Reflection – Mind Mapping tool 

 Challenge : For a hackathon my team was given a challenge to identify and think   of viable and innovative solutions in a hypothetical village called “ Lokhad ” in   the Indian state of Karnataka , we had to think of solutions which had to be focused   on village but the challenge was that we did not have any first - hand information   or even a village to survey and find out its problems since the place question was   a hypothetical location and neither of the people in our team were from a rural   are which made it difficult to get an insider approach to the problem , we will   focus on the methodologies   my team used to over this challenge . 

 Selection : My team had gone through several design thinking activities / tools and   after going through all of the design thinking methodologies we thought “ The   mind mapping tool ” would help us navigate the challenge , Mind Mapping   is   looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data you collected during   exploration of what is the current reality . 

 Application : My team drew a mind map with the keywords “ Village of Lokhad ”   and “ General village ” at the centre so that our team could draw parallels between   the common problems existing in most villages in the state of Karnataka to our   hypothetical village , doing such helped us tremendously in the “ What is ” phase ,   with us narrowing down the problem pur team wanted to focus on we could now   move on to the “ What if ” phase where we again drew parallels to the possible   solutions already being used in these villages and modified them to suit our   demography . 

 The above image is the Mind map my team used in the hackathon . 

 Insight & Approach : From the mind - map we drew insights that most of the pre- existing solutions deployed onto the villages were based on the geographic and   geologic aspects such as location , type of soil and topography of that village in   order to get the most beneficial outcome , since we did not have any of that   information about our hypothetical village we the thought of focusing on the   problem which is extremely important to tackle and did not need that kind of   information , The problem we focused upon was Education . 

 We understood that lack of education was prevalent in a lot of villages   everywhere irrespective of their geographical advantage with this information we   put all our resources into finding solutions to provide sustainable solutions to help   educate the village . This is how mind mapping tool and Design Thinking   methodologies helped us tackle the problem given to us and ultimately helped us   win the hackathon .
