Really listen about any problems your classmates may have.
After the interview design a prototype of a product to aid your classmate (be as imaginative as you want).
Present your design to him/her and get feedback.

In small groups, students interview their classmates and find out what they need to make their lives more comfortable and better.
After the interview students design a prototype of a product to aid their classmates (encourage students to be as imaginative as you want).
Then, (time allowing) students consider how they are going to sell the product they have designed.
