The first JAM session was held last
Saturday, 1.10.2016. All the teams gathered in Demola at 9.30 for a full day
workshop and Our Smart Waste Flow team got luckily extra support from Saara (a member
of Pirkanmaan Jätehuolto) for the whole day. The session started with a
breakfast and after that at ten o’clock the presentations started with topics
like the value propositions and the development process. An interesting example
was the “löylykauha” and it was used to demonstrate how the value of an object
is divided into attributes. There were also presentations about finding your
diamonds and using university assets. After the presentations it was the time
for lunch (free!) at the restaurant Frenckell & Piha.

During the afternoon we got to do some real team working. All of us
were divided into groups and as a group we had to develop a prototype
with different kind of materials. This prototype should be related to
three products which are used in the everyday life and were selected by
another team. The aim of this process was to develop a prototype which
could be used to explain to other people about the product. Each group
had to guess the function of another team's demo. The teams created all
different things like a vampire hunting knife, super modern bra and
underwear, headphones that chooses the music that fits to your tea, etc.
We learned that the demos can be very simple and that they don’t need
to work necessary, they are just demos.
After
having done this in random groups we had to develop a prototype for our own
project with our own team. This last topic in the afternoon was Sh**ty Prototyping. Because right now our group has a service as
intended outcome we made a poster which explains the service. In the next phase
of the afternoon all teams could pitch their prototype and advice was given.
The day ended around half past four with some snacks. All in all the day was successful, fun and we
learned to work even better together.
