Reframe: Team BEAR

After our site visit to BEAR’s facility, we gained a better understanding of their operation, strengths and weaknesses and we used this new information to reframe the scope of our project. At the start of the semester, we were given a really broad ‘How Can We’ statement – an objective. After Immerse we were able to put down our major insights and group them into clusters. Some of those insights include BEAR’s limited operating capacity, fluctuating volunteer participation and quick turnover of donated resources and other inventories. These clusters then lead us to our final ‘How can we’ statement –  “HCW enable foster children in Houston to receive adequate resources throughout the year by increasing community involvement with BEAR?”  With this in mind, we set goals that we hope would accurately reflect how successful our design would be in achieving our final HCW statement.
