Prototype gallery
Participatory Methods Prototype gallery The Prototype gallery is a participatory activity where participants create and showcase initial models or prototypes of ideas, products, services, or projects to receive constructive feedback from others.
How to run it
- Materials for physical prototypes: cardboard, paper, modeling clay, adhesive tape, markers, etc.
- Digital tools for virtual prototypes: design software, presentation tools, modeling applications.
- Exhibition elements: tables, panels, whiteboards, labels.
- Set up a spacious area where teams can display their prototypes and participants can move around comfortably.
- If online, prepare a platform that allows sharing and commenting on digital prototypes (e.g., Miro, MURAL, Padlet).
- Emphasize that prototypes are initial models, not final products; they are meant to be iterated and improved.

Origin unverified
- Where we observed it: The strongest current observations come from Participatory Methods; aggregators are listed as additional observations, not origin proof. (1 source observed, including Participatory Methods.)
- What that means: we track where an exercise has been observed in public sources. We do not claim to know who created it, or how popular it is.
- No efficacy claims: appearing in this library is not a claim that the exercise is proven effective. Facilitator judgment and context decide whether it works for a given room.
- Corrections: if you have evidence of an earlier or more accurate source, read our methodology and trust boundary and tell us.
