I saw a couple carrying these contraptions on way to class at a #designinstitute. My driver drove close to the bikers and they slowed down for me to take photos, giggled &waved😎thanks to Pooja I now know that these are #handmade #mousetraps used in #agricultural #domestic spaces 
She studied them for her environmental perception course and even bought one. Pooja said, there’s a specific indigenous people who make this out of palm leaf and wood - all locally available material. They sell these for Rs 120 - 150
They are also hired to install and empty them when the #rats are caught. The makers of this #traditional #local #designsolution make about Rs 10, 000/- per month. Thank you Pooja 😊with every #student I learn so much

Its been a trend these days to give #design #assignments prior to #hiring design #applicants, even though the design applicant is providing a #portfolio list of past works that is enough to judge his/her #thinking #process. Most of the times
such assignments are misused to collect #ideas for the project in action. We call it #Fakeathones. A Design homework that obviously have no scope for actual #UserResearch and #Usability Testing until hired based on one's opinion is not justifiable.
Designers and #UX are not idea generation machines. Idea Generation is a Team Work achieved by #DesignThinking, Stakeholder Discussions, User Interviews and many other such exercises. Designers, Design #Coaches, Design Mentors, UX #Strategist
