Hi all,
I really enjoyed all your presentations today - and also seeing you interacting with pupils and teachers at school. Well done :-)
I changed my mind with regard to your evaluations - I would really like you to fill in this online survey individually: https://da.surveymonkey.com/s/CCH6ZB8
This is a link to the padlet that I will forward to Lonni. Please upload all your pictures, presentations, films and explanatory notes for the school here: http://da.padlet.com/LilianRohde/tge75b99j7cg
Use just ONE LINK.
I took notes during your presentations and made a preliminary assessment that I will pass on to Nicolai. I will come to class on 9 April to let you know my assessment if you are interested. You will get a final assessment at the end of class at a pass/fail basis. If Erasmus students need marks, you will also be able to have that.
Regards,
Lilian

IDEO: The shopping cart challenge
This is how professional innovators work on a challenge... notice how they:
- are a mixed group with very different backgrounds
- do careful research to understand their challenge - even though they only have 3 days
- focus on their topic and add to a growing common pool of knowledge
- build prototypes to show their ideas
- have interesting slogans like 'Fail early to succeed sooner'
