Background on Amanda Chu:

This storyboard is based on Amanda Chu who is an “avid Discord User and gamer”. She studies industrial design which involves her being creative with technology.

Brainstorming:

Story one was based on Goal 8 which was “Decent work & Economic Growth”. Our group thought this was well suited for Amanda because she had a hard time finding a career to pursue that fit her parents’ expectation and her interests. This story was based on the hardships of job finding during a Global Pandemic.

Story two was based on goal 11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities). Taking from the fact that she “excelled in mathematics and sciences” we thought this could be a convincing story if Amanda were to develop a sustainable heating system right from her office.

Story three was based on goal 4 (Quality Education). We picked this goal for Amanda because hearing her needs verses her parents needs, we felt that Amanda would be a good role model in a school setting. We wanted to use Amanda as someone who can help others with bettering their education. This story would take place in class at university.

Final Decision:

We collectively chose story three, as it was a story of her developing a hearing app for a classmate. The story felt like the most heartfelt and impactful. It also had a good integration of Amanda’s tech background.
