Answer questions related to group effectiveness:

 What do you bring to the group in terms of (non-)technical knowledge and skills ?
(technical: e.g. knowledge, hobbies, computer skills; non-technical: e.g. planning,
creativity, abstracting)
 For which contribution to the project can you take responsibility? See the list of CBL
modules provided for inspiration.
 Describe yourself and your abilities regarding working in a group and taking part in a design
project.

I’m creative, I have some knowledge on new product development, I’m good at reverse
brainstorming.

I can contribute by finding problem solutions and solving potential contradictions by using TRIZ since
I’ve studied about it in the 1ZV50 course 'Fundamentals of Product Innovation'.

I’m not hesitant to hold back my opinion and share my ideas. I try to address any problems regarding
how the group works in order to make our meetings and our working process more efficient.

Design goal:
List your ideas about problems concerning sustainable behavior that your team could address.
What type of target user are you thinking of, involved in what kind of activity? And what kind of
(consumer) product could help solve the problem.
Try to find literature or other references to support your choices.
Saving energy by reducing electricity consumption on lighting. A product that could help would be
lights with sensor that could automatically adjust the brightness depending on the environment/room
that they’re placed in (distance to the floor, size of the room, indoors or outdoors etc.) and can be
dimmed, lit up, turned on or off depending on the activity detected by its sensors.
