Grupo 2gether/Lapassion@Goiânia 2020

We created this video to show all our work in these last weeks. Work never stops! Lapassion@Goiânia 2020

Last week we were on our 3rd week and the work never stopped!! Some of what we were doing... We tryed to organize the ideas, so we did this Mind Map as a tool to help us.

So, our project faced a few challenges since our last post. Covid-19 pandemic has caused that our group is no longer stationed in Federal Institute of Goiás. Beatriz went back to her town: Vila Velha in Espírito Santo, Nelson to Itumbiara and Hannes had to go back to Finland and Carla to Portugal. Now we are trying to figure out a way to do this project by telecommuting and having some thousands of kilometers and time difference(Carla +3h and Hannes +5h) between us. We have our own discord channel and different tools to make this project happen. There are some problems that telecommuting and quarantine brings. We can't visit Senador Canedo and see the town and talk to local people with disabilities. We are trying to get in contact with these people and anxiously waiting them to respond because that will give us valuable information.

Our second week was very sad, as we received the news that we would have to return to our homes due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Despite that, we had some really cool moments too! At the beginning of the week, we had Audio-Visual Training, and we took lots of cool pictures to work with the new things we learned about photography. We also created the Empathy Maps of our personas, which would help us to understand them a little more. Here they are.

We just finished our first week in Lapassion@Goiânia Project and it was amazing. We met a lot of different people and made a lot of friends too. 💓💓 We also discovered our project's theme, that is "Use of technologies to improve urban mobility for people with specific needs". We had our first Design Thinking Workshop and we have to created "personas", who are fictional people created by us who would help us to understand the life and desires of the target audience of our future project. Here are our personas: Gabriela, Olavo and Thomás.
