Kitchen Gun
What we are reusing for this project is a water gun, and we are repurposing it as a cleaning tool to help janitors work more efficiently.
Supplies
What we are using to repurpose this water gun is Water gun, soap, paper, staples.
Design Thinking Process
Brainstorm to form an idea
Form your drivers and constraints Create questions to ask people related to your idea Create a solution to the people's problem Share that solution with them Design a new solution using the feedback you got
How efficient do you want the cleaning tool to be?
Very efficient Very efficient
Do you want it to be more accurate and why? Yes, so it doesn’t make any mess no, so it could spread and be faster to clean
Do you want it to be more accurate and why?
Yes, so it doesn’t make any mess no, so it could spread and be faster to clean
Would people use it if it was a water gun? yes yes
Would it be better if it was soap or water or both and why?
Both, because it would be useful in different situations. Both, because soap would be used for cleaning, and water would be used to wash the soap.
What other uses do you want the tool to have? To clean windows To clean multiple objects

Intrepetation Phase
Drivers:
Easy to use
Easy to reload
accurate
Constraints
Finding a way to reload it faster
Finding a way to make it more accurate
Figuring out a good amount of soap to put inside the gun
Ideation Phase
These are multiple examples of sketches from the ideation phase
Prototype Phase
This is the final design of the kitchen gun
