Ben Sancetta, a mechanical engineer, will discuss the process of designing a new product, such as when it's appropriate to do testing, get user feedback, or list product requirements. Following this, we'll have a discussion of our own processes for designing new things. Cambridge/Boston-area Less Wrong Wednesday meetups are once a month on the last Wednesday at 7pm at Citadel (98 Elm St Apt 1 Somerville, near Porter Square). All other meetups are on Sundays. Our default schedule is as follows: —Phase 1: Arrival, greetings, unstructured conversation. —Phase 2: The headline event. This starts promptly at 7:30pm, and lasts 30-60 minutes. —Phase 3: Further discussion. We'll explore the ideas raised in phase 2, often in smaller groups.
