Prep. for Thursday April 4th & Friday April 5th

BEFORE THURSDAY APRIL 4th

  • Continue to work on prototypes, presentation boards, and your elevator pitch
  • Create an individual blog entry about prototyping
  • Make sure that someone in your group documents this mode, Prototyping, for your project

THURSDAY, APRIL 4th:  IN-CLASS PITCHES

  • Each group will have a total of 7 minutes – about 4 minutes to share your concept (start with identifying the company and HMW, share your prototype and then tell us why this is a great concept re: both for the company and principles of sustainability) and then 3 minutes for everyone else to get a chance to complete the feedback form (if you use all 7 minutes to talk, you won’t get any feedback – and you do really want feedback at this point)
  • See Blackboard (folder “Evaluate”) for the feedback form we will use (I will bring copies to class)

BEFORE FRIDAY, APRIL 5th

  • Review and synthesize feedback from Thursday’s pitches (summarize the key take-aways for your own use and to support documentation of this step – it may be useful to summarize feedback within the Feedback Grid format).
  • Negotiate within your group what feedback to respond to and how (modifying your prototype, your presentation board, and your pitch, as needed).
  • Make changes to your prototype, your presentation board, and your pitch, as needed (I will be looking for evidence of ongoing iteration when I do final grading)
