The Doughnut Table (online version)

This tool was made for Industrial Design students to reflect on their thoughts around their future jobs. Playing in a group setting works best, but it can also be played individually.

There are two versions of the tool; an online version and a printable version. Here I will explain the online version:

How to play with the tool
The tool shows the Doughnut how we know it, introducing the students to the subjects discussed in them. The first layer shows the elements in the ecological ceiling and the social foundation. Clicking on an element will turn the Doughnut. Clicking again reveals the boundaries of that element as described by Kate Raworth on her website Doughnut | Kate Raworth. After reading the boundary, one can click again to reveal the dilemma. The dilemma's show choices designers can make and help them reflect on the planetary and social consequences of those choices. By clicking on the < key on your keyboard, you can go back a step. It can be best played on a computer or laptop (in stead of on a phone).

The idea is that a group starts a reflective conversation about this choice and why they would choose one above the other.

An additional option in playing with the tool could be selecting elements by following the dots on the first layer of the tool. One dot represents Level 1, two dots Level 2, and three dots Level 3.

The original
These tools are based on an original version. In the attached files you can see the original in use, which gives an idea how the printable version works and can be played.
