Presented April 14th, 2017 To showcase final presentation for Design Thinking class at Cornell Tech Design Thinking Final Project Cornell Tech Team Ohana

1. PathFinder
Visualize your future.

2. “We Met...
Aspiring college students who are overwhelmed by all of the possibilities for
their future
We Were Surprised to Find...
How little transparency there is into different educational paths (or
institutions) and career paths (or industries)... they are all ‘black boxes’
It would be game-changing if we could...
Find a way to allow students to ‘see into the future’ - allowing them to make
more informed decisions about what steps they should be taking today

What Works
Glasses are cool
Phrase “Visualize your

coaching people into
better decisions

Seems like it’s going
to be hard to build

How did we use the
feedback to iterate?
● Clarifying that Anna was
recorded ahead of time and
that the user is then going to
experience Anna’s day in the
life
● Cutting down architect path
and jumping right into
recommending digital
animation
● Changed it from a job fair to
college fair to make it clearer
it is a HS student
