In Lecture 3, the students engaged in a brainstorming session with the theme of unsafe toy ideas. The purpose of this brainstorm was to allow students to feel more comfortable with deferring judgement and generating wild ideas. The ideas presented below are examples toys that should NOT be made. Toy Product Design and MIT do not encourage the actual production of these toy concepts. However, we would like to share with you some of the more interesting and amusing ideas that the students generated in this session. The following are 25 of the staff favorites reduced from approximately 700 concepts.
