Start from real situations
Record where things happen, who will encounter them, and the details that make you pause and take a closer look.
What will you do?
Each person prepares 1–3discoveries. They can come from life, study, family, community, or they can be something you have always wanted to understand, improve, or try doing.
Find some evidence
Look up information, ask someone, do a small observation or experiment, and write down which areas are still uncertain.
Propose directions that can be tried
Explain how to take the first step and also acknowledge the potential limitations.
Share with your peers after two weeks
Share discoveries, research, and solution ideas. Finished products are not required.
One page record is enough to start
1What did I discover?
Scenarios, people involved, and facts you saw or heard.

2Why do I care?
Confusion, curiosity, inconvenience, or who you want to help.

3What did I investigate?
Data, interviews, observations, small experiments; separate sources from assumptions.

4How do I want to try?
First step, help needed, and how to know if it works.

Example: “Doubao” researching smart glasses
Continue asking beyond “It’s cool”
Investigate what it can really do now, the difference between promotion and actual experience; whether it’s comfortable to wear for a long time, which scenarios are useful and which interfere; finally propose a small feature you want to improve. This example is just to help start, not to require everyone to research smart glasses.
Sharing after two weeks is not to see whose answer is most correct, but to let everyone hear: where you started, how you found evidence, what made you change your mind, and what you want to continue trying next.
