Azhelle introduces you to Mad Lib Brainstorming, a process she developed to inject a little bit of fun and joy when you're at an inventors' stalemate. Follow along as she uses the classic game Connect 4, as an example to show you how to implement this process for your self. The Toy Coach also gives a quick overview of what it means to playtest and vet your toy idea or prototype and then goes into detail giving you action-by-action advice on how you can perform that research from the safety of your own home.
