In 2012 the interest to generate new didactic tools to incentivize the creative development of Design students emerges. In that year's summer, instruments for the construction of extreme scenarios were implemented for the first time, those which, when recursively applied throughout several academic periods gave as a result, the methodology Development of Dystopic Scenarios. The process was appropriate for students to generate disruptive processes in order to identify and produce the elements that satisfy users from minority groups, such as people with visual and intellectual disabilities, vulnerable communities like the elderly, transit immigrants and rural communities. What is presented today is a series of mechanisms and techniques that, although some have already been used in other contexts, became novel when matched with the design process. This is to say that different disciplines, different environments and multiple obstacles, give as a result extreme circumstances which cause the student to leave her comfort zone for distant lifestyles, oblivious to her daily life. Doing this, students participate in the creative processes that improve their learning.
