Start from a thought

Name or code: ________ Date: ________

1. I want to try

Choose one of the following, write a few sentences, draw it, or tell your partner.

What I want to try first now: __________________.

What I want to keep for later: __________________.

After the warm-up: How do I judge?

There was a ‘Human/AI/Together’ question that made me guess wrong or hesitate: __________________.

The clues I saw at the time: __________________.

If I want to find out the production process, I would first ask/check: __________________.

Which side would you choose?

There is a question that makes me want to continue talking: __________________.

I first choose □A □B, because: __________________.

After listening to others, I □still choose this □change my choice □think of a third way.

If conditions were different, I might change my mind: __________________.

I came up with a multiple-choice question for everyone: A: ________ / B: ________.

It's my turn to make a question

A recent thing that made me want to continue watching, figuring out, or doing: __________________.

A question a peer asked me: __________________.

A question I am willing to continue pursuing: __________________.

How the first step could be tried: __________________.

2. Make my peers understand my thoughts

Who will come to use/play/watch: __________________.

The main action he/she performs when coming here: __________________.

After it is completed, I hope he/she sees/feels: __________________.

Another different way to do it might be: __________________.

This time I first choose: __________________, because: __________________.

The part that will not be done for now: __________________.

3. You can start with just three sheets of paper

What do you see when you enterHow does he operateWhat happens after operation
Draw on the first sheet of paperDraw on the second sheet of paperDraw on the third sheet of paper

One-sentence task for the tester: __________________.

I think he will: __________________.

4. First version assignment for the AI

First, explain it in your own words; no need to write it like a manual. The blanks below can help you miss less.

> I want to make a __________________, for __________________ to use/play/watch. > > The first version only has one main action: __________________. > > After the user performs this action, __________________ should happen. > > I want it to look __________________. > > This version will not do __________________ yet. > > Please first repeat the rules as you understand them; ask me about any uncertainties, then create a previewable first version.

After generation, review it yourself first: Did it perform the action I mentioned? Where has it added things on its own? Am I willing to keep them?

5. Now it’s your turn to try my work

Author of the work: ________ Tester: ________

Test task: __________________.

I originally thought this would: __________________.

What actually happened: __________________.

What I still want to try/figure out: __________________.

One observation from the author: __________________.

Author’s decision: □ Modify a part □ Ask for clarification □ Keep for now □ Try another method

Because: __________________.

Instructions for AI modification:

> Just now, the player encountered __________________ when __________________. > > I hope __________________. This time, only adjust __________________, keep the other parts that are already working for now.

After modification, please have the other party do the same thing. Result: __________________.

6. Next time, I want to...

□ Continue this □ Try it with a partner □ Change direction □ First look at another example □ Take a break for now

Reason: __________________.

Right now I need: □ Help from someone □ Some information □ A tool/material □ To see a real-life situation

Specifically: __________________.

The part that most resembles 'my decision' this time is: __________________.

One thought I changed was: __________________.

Two-week discovery assignment

In the next two weeks, please observe 1–3a question you are truly interested in: it can come from life, learning, family, or community, or something you've always wanted to understand, improve, or try. The topic doesn't need to be grand; the important thing is that you are willing to look at it again.

Two weeks later, each person will spend a few minutes sharing their findings, the information they collected, and the solutions they considered. You can bring photos, screenshots, interview records, sketches, a small model, or a small experiment; it is completely fine if you haven't produced a finished product yet.

For each question, prepare at least the following:

Example: Doubao’s smart glasses research

Doubao can investigate a pair of smart glasses: what it can really do now, the difference between promotion and actual experience; whether it is comfortable to wear for a long time, which scenarios are useful and which are actually distracting; finally, propose one small feature you would like to improve. This example is just to help you get started, it does not mean everyone has to study smart glasses.

The two-week sharing is not about “whose answer is most correct,” but about letting everyone hear: where you started, how you found evidence, what changed your thinking, and what you want to try next.
