Whiteboard Design Challenges

Summary

A live exercise designing a solution to a prompt on the spot ('design an app for X') — testing structured thinking and communication under time pressure, not a polished final answer.

• 1Practice a repeatable structure: clarify the goal, pick a user, sketch, explain your reasoning aloud.
• 2Time yourself — most of these need to fit in 20-30 minutes including discussion.
• 3Practice with another person, not just alone — verbalizing your process is the actual skill being tested.
