The workshops were awesome! I also feel that we needed designated times to be together as a larger group throughout the week.

It was much more challenging for G6 students to ideate as they have never experienced STEAM before. They may need more exposure to STEAM. Perhaps, G5 students in the future could be invited to also be audience members.

Students needed more time than just Thursday to create their presentation. Perhaps rather than a Google doc for them to record their research and brainstorm solutions, that could be done directly in a Google slides presentation so it would have been easier for them to utilize and see what they have already accomplished throughout the week that connected to the different parts of the design cycle and then include that in their presentation.

Most students enjoyed the make and test phase; however only a few were patient enough to research and ideate further to improve and improvise on the product/prototype.

They are productive when given some structure and freedom to move around and do what they need to get done. They are quite responsible.

The guest speaker spoke more from a service-oriented perspective, and I felt as a result many students first ideated solutions focused on service rather than on STEAM subjects. Consequently, the ideating phase took much longer than planned.

Students need more time on the understanding and connecting portions of the design process and more time in the preparations prior to sharing. Presentations were generally the weakest part of the students' product.

As a workshop leader, I got to add outside perspectives to many students about many different topics and help develop divergent thinking.

Feedback at each stage of the design cycle.

The fact that an output template was provided for them to tweak, improvise and think on their own serves as a trampoline.

Students do need refining in their presentation skills.

Having students present to mixed-groups felt too much after having spent the morning presenting within the SDG groups and then to parents. Wonder if we could end the day with a MS games/sports day to celebrate.

We could possibly allocate more time for sharing with peers and teachers from MS or all school. We could plan an exhibition day.

# data[].attributes.body
Would love some more time to do more thorough research in the beginning. Develop some slides for that process. Would be great to have time on a Wednesday PD 2-3 weeks before to go through the slides, look at research, invite guest speakers for the specific groups, etc.

Having the opportunities to move between workshops more or less independently helped to coalesce learning.

STEAM could be done throughout the year and students can pick their choice of project based on what they have learned in each subject area. We could have STEAM week in the last week of school as a celebration of learning.

This STEAM felt like the warmup to an actual upcoming STEAM, where we gave students the rough cut of what it would be like. I wonder if we could do something that builds on this in whatever context, even if its in one class.

DQs that are very specifically connected to the Chennai community need at least one opportunity for students to engage in the community to really connect to that problem within Chennai.  It's important that students both experience the problem as it actually exists in Chennai as well as understanding what ways in which the community is already addressing that problem.  Very often plans, resources and actions are already in place in Chennai that are already addressing these DQ issues.  Engaging with stakeholders involved in these efforts would ensure that students aren't producing solutions that, either, are already being enacted or are non-relevant to the resources and or needs that are actually in Chennai.

# data[].attributes.body
It felt like students needed more time in the connect stage. Who are the people impacted by their SDG? How can they interact with these people? What are their needs?

I wish there was more time for kids to actually interact with the populations affected by their SDG to gain empathy.

One idea that came up in the trio was to take the Friday before STEAM to take the STEAM groups off campus for a real hands-on learning experience which could drive learning for the week

The variety and flexibility of workshop opportunities. There was a wide range across most needs that must be accomplished in the design process.  Students were relatively easily able to move between all of these.

The workshops were a great way to support students in their area of need. They were able to see how to connect to the different aspects of STEAM.

I really want to add in my support for the idea about STEAM as a rough cut. What comes next? How can we support kids in authentically working with research and data? Is this it for STEAM in 2023, or is there more work to be done?
