We started to investigate questions and our progress in answering those questions. We tried to gather all information into one place for easy access.

The team made a stakeholder map and narrowed it down to three main stakeholders.

After creating a stakeholder map, we decided our main three stakeholders and made them empathy maps. This helped us determine what those stakeholders would like to see, do, have, think, and feel, specifically related to E.V.s

We took a few minutes to write down any ideas we had and any questions we still needed to ask, especially to our stake holders.

Our biggest challenge facing this question is pricing and instalation process. So far, it has been very expensive and time consuming, as the location the business wants the chargers on the opposite side of the building then the side with the circuit board.

What would it take for BizStream to grow from a single EV charger to a charging program that supports a growing employee base, makes financial sense, and could potentially open its doors to the public?

In order to determine our standards and our skills we filled out this paper together about our hopes, fears, and norms. After that, we all shared our values after doing a value test.

We got to know our team mates by problem solving a short challenge using hotweels. This also helped the team better understand our current knowledge on cars in general.

With our entry event we worked on teamwork and problem solving skills. This also helped inspire our team to get to know each other better for smoother teamwork in the future. We also took a test to determine our creative types, allowing us to better understand ourselves and who we work well with.

This slide was updated several times and students practiced many times to get their wording correct. They also brought a rough draft of their pitch to critical friends and were able to get feedback from their peers. Many revisions were also made after their presentation to the panel.

We presented our slides to the judge panel at the careerline tech center and gathered feedback. We then fixed up the last peices of our presentation, including the organization, shortening the presentation, and hiding the corresponding slides.

What went well in this stage?

They were able to create a great presentation and took most feedback well.

What surprised you?

They did not immediately realize that this presentation was supposed to be professional.

What would you do differently next time?

Keep student more focused. They had a tendency to get distracted and also tell us they were done when they were not.

What resources do you need for the Validation Stage?

# data[].attributes.body
During our research, if we found an awnser to a question we had written down we would awnser it on a sticky note and stick it to the white board.

After all of our research we came together to write and disscus the awnsers we found. After we went over our knows and dont know, we found we needed to contact professionals about certain questions, such as Tesla, Bitstream, charge point, and consumers energy.

What resources do you need for the Solutions Stage?

The resources needed in this stage were poster paper, whiteboard space, Chromebooks, and peers for evaluation.

Our team first took 10min to write down any ideas we had and then came together to sort those ideas out. We made a few groups based off of similer ideas and had two groups draw out different mixtures of those ideas. We then put stickers on top of the drawn out ideas that we liked, 8 per person, and found the three main ideas we all agreed on.

Team worked together well and got into the work of investigating the DQ. While the DQ was complex, the nature of the question did not allow for as much creativity as originally envisioned. Spend more time in developing creative ideas that could have served to widen the approach later on in the process

# data[].attributes.body
We needed to research about the topic, as most of us did not know much about EVs or EV chargers, and we needed to find out the budget, because that determines what we get as they are expensive. We also looked at location possibilities and the circuit board location.

"This is a really hard questions but the team did a great job working together to coming up with the 2 solutions." -Madison

"There are so many things that I learned that I can take back to school and start to implement right away. I am looking forward to working with other teachers in my district who have engaged in PBL to create some engaging projects for our students next year and in the future!"-Amy

# data[].attributes.body
We looked deeper into the websites about renewable energy and EVs positive envirenmental impact. We also looked at instalation processes and pricing. We called many different people including electrical companys, the ev charger brand we planed to use, and electricians.

What went well in this stage?

The student came up with some very creative ideas and got to think outside the box.

What surprised you?

They got a little too creative and lost the plot of the driving question.

What would you do differently?

Be a little more direct with instruction to help guide them.

What resources do you need for checking in with your students?

Show through pictures, videos, examples of student work, to reflect on the authentic audience, the pitch, the final product. Include any information/pictures from your community partner.

Please get a quote from the business partner.

What went well in this stage?

The students came in and immediately worked really well together. The protocol went smoothly and so did the ice breaker games.

What surprised you?

How well they all got along right away and hoe many of them have already worked with this program in the past.

What would you do differently?

Revisit hopes, fears, and norms more frequently.

What resources do you need for the Incubation Stage?

Whilst incubating our ideas, we needed sticky notes and poster board

# data[].attributes.body
Show through pictures, videos, examples of student work to reflect on the check ins done throughout the project.  How did students reflect throughout the process? How did student critique and revise?

# data[].attributes.body
Take time to reflect on what went well. What will you change for next year? What feedback did you get from students, the business partner, the authentic audience that can help make this project even better?

Our team building process was very smooth and helpful. We also had a very good investigation stage, but it feels our team went into the incubation stage a bit too early. Next time, we should have a full day or maybe even two dedicated to just finding different solutions, and exploring them further. From our authentiç audience we learned and fixed the "word walls" in our presentation, and lessened the time of presdenting
