Students designed a locked sports closet and bench. Families can borrow sports equipment to use. The bench also provides a place to sit and enjoy the beautiful view. In the bench will be wipes for any goose mishaps. Finally, more active people in the area will mean less geese. This means less goose poop!

Students were asked to open their journals and do a 2 minute silent working session. Our driving question was read aloud to all students and they were asked to "define" their understanding of the question in their own pictures or words.

Then, students shared out and as a group we dissected and defined parts of the question to have a better overall understanding.

Customer Profile Protocol:

A customer profile protocol is a structured process for identifying and documenting the needs, goals, characteristics, and expectations of a potential stakeholder (user, client, worker, business partner). It helps students design solutions that are relevant, user-centered, and aligned with real-world stakeholder needs.

Dot Voting Protocol, let's NARROW down our ideas!

# data[].attributes.body
NUFF test: After our dot voting, we brought all our ideas down to two over arching ideas: sports/games/classes/activities AND furniture needed at Tanglefoot Park.

Then, with our NUFF test and finding a point system (Let's tally up your fingers!)... we found out that creating sports/games/activities would be a NEW ideas, USEFUL idea, FEASIBLE idea, and of course FUN!

Crazy 4's Protocol:

Students generated 4 ideas on their own and began to share out with their teammates.

Dot Voting - Round 2

After the Rule of Thirds, campers still needed additional time to narrow down their ideas. Based upon their "breakthrough" ideas they voted again and landed in the solution of creating an sports closet, organization and check out system in efforts to keep Tanglefoot Park's space beautiful.

What went well in this stage?

Many audience members asked questions and provided positive feedback. The campers had to respond in real time and did a good job addressing the audience.

What surprised you?

We were was surprised at how eager the kids were when responding to the audience.

What would you do differently next time?

We feel like this went really well and the campers responded well to the feedback.

What went well in this stage?

The Storyboarding protocol helped to further develop the finer details and design the solution. The campers also were able to explain their part of the storyboard and give each part specific feedback, such as what might work well and what they might consider adding to their solution.

What surprised you?

It was surprising to hear the many ideas they had as well as how the campers combined their ideas and collaborated well together.

What would you do differently next time?

What we would want to keep in mind is to maintain our flexibility and adjust activities/protocols to support thinking for our campers.

What went well in this stage?

We incorporated intentional time throughout our week (jotting in journals around prompts, specific protocols to narrow and hone in on ideas, and verbal sharing out).

What surprised you?

It was great to see and hear from all students about their hopes and fears, how positive all campers are, and how well they came together as a team.

What would you differently next time?

Again, time got away from us! We were working hard!

# data[].attributes.body
We did a Chalk and Talk activity where students had purposeful free time. Purposeful as we prompted them with a challenge: come up with a few words or pictures that help you picture what you want camp to look like and sound like!

This helped brainstorm ideas for our CAMP CHEER!

# data[].attributes.body
What went well in this stage?

The AEIOU protocol helped to guide thinking and campers were able to brainstorm at least 2-4 questions per vowel, allowing for a comprehensive panel discussion. Every camper asked the panel a question and took notes to gain insight about problems.

What surprised you?

The questions were well rounded and guided by the guiding question.

What would you do differently?

Possibly consider using a microphone and speaker, and possibly prep the panel to consider the age range when answering questions for kindergarten through second grade.

# data[].attributes.body
Students were given time to think about hopes for our time together and their fears!

Students would share out their ideas and whys. Then, we would share the pen to create an interactive writing piece
