Need to think beyond the expected, the possible, the upright? Intervention Inspiration Challenge is a simple tool to widen your ideas about your intervention.

We promise it will get you to some bad ideas, some hilarious ones, and just beyond that—the one that might really pop!

Understanding the nuances of the people who we want to engage with our interventions is really helpful as we ideate and specify. This tool assumes that you are familiar with folks who would use your intervention--whether they are people who make up your school or youth program, the neighbors you see all the time, etc.

Here's a fun challenge from DS4SI's early days, particularly good for using humor to help us critique our ideas without being too closely attached to them. "Perfectly Awful" invites you to picture some of the worst ways you could go about solving the problem you're addressing.
