What resources do you need for the Observation Stage? We needed our notebooks to take notes about what we saw and noticed.

# data[].attributes.body
The Golf course must be accessible to all, represent our community, and we must find out how to fundraise it.

Redesigning a Mini Golf Course For Inclusion

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone put in ideas and suggestions for how we can fundraise, make the course accessible, and how it should be redesigned to reflect our community. We came up with ideas such as a ramp, wide path, holes that represents the history, and asking businesses to sponsor the golf course.

# data[].attributes.body
We narrowed down the amount of hole ideas. In addition to this we also narrowed thing down in the fundraising packet as to what we need sponsors to buy and how much money they need to spend for certain tiers and the rewards.

Pickets, Plaques, the fundraising packet, etc.

Our project requires us to incorperateing Accesibility, making the community feel represented, and creating fundraising ideas, finding sponsers, and completing the fundraising packet.

How can we design and fundraise a mini golf course that is accessible and represents our community?

# data[].attributes.body
-Being on time

-Read the room/appropriateness

-Working with one another + communicating clearly

-Everyone must help somehow… involve yourself and your ideas

The first day we came in, we met Erin, the 'owner' of Kenzie's BE Cafe, which is a non-profit organization. Yesterday in the morning, we met with critical friends who brought new light to our problem. Also yesterday, we met with the architect who is in charge of designing the project and she showed us a rough estimite of how much space we will have along with where it could be located. Tomorrow we will go in front of judges and present our solution and all the work we have done. Lastly on Thursday, we will go in front of the bussinuses included in the project, and they will take it from their.

# data[].attributes.body
-Be on time

-Pay attention

-Do your best always

-Dress appropriately

-Speak kindly always

-Be inclusive

# data[].attributes.body
Critical friends mostly said that they agreed with us, so it didn't help that much.

# data[].attributes.body
On Monday we had critical friends and their fresh eyes opened our eyes to some suggestions, first off, they said that Pronto Pups could sponser a hole, then, they said that we could have some catorers, and asking for shares with the city board, then musical fountains were something that they said would be cool. However, they mostly agreed with us.

# data[].attributes.body
The accessibility aspect is more important than the amount of holes. But the fundraising part is the biggest concern.

# data[].attributes.body
We learned that there are no nearby mini golf courses that are accessible, we will be the first.

# data[].attributes.body
In this stage, we got corrected many times, got constructive criticism, and overall got more information for completing our solution.

# data[].attributes.body
In this stage, we had to narrow down all of our ideas, and/or combine them to make an even better idea. We divided our solution into 3 parts, fundraising, accessibility, and community. From there, we put our best solutions for each category.

# data[].attributes.body
What resources do you need for the Validation Stage? We need our business partner and quotes from the architect in the stage.

# data[].attributes.body
The most important thing is the fundraising packet.

# data[].attributes.body
We checked in with the architect and Erin.

We got information from Copper rock Constructions, Architektura, and the people running Kenzies.

# data[].attributes.headline
We engaged in constant group meetings, pauses in the process to check on progress.

What went well in this stage: Constant access to employees and business partners (Aaron)

What surprised you: $910,000 price to build the mini golf course

What would you differently next time: Gotten more information early on from the architect

# data[].attributes.body
What went well in this stage? Splitting up into different teams to focus on our individual tasks went really well!

What surprised you? How easy Canva was to use!

What would you do differently? We wished we had more information about the specifics of our project. The architect is out of the country and unable to answer our questions until week 2. We have a meeting set up for next week and will add those details in!

# data[].attributes.body
What resources do you need for the Investigation Stage?

We needed other mini golf courses to be able to understand mini golf courses, we visited multiple other courses

# data[].attributes.body
"Will families have somewhere to rest?"

"How would this impact me?"

"We are one accident away from needing someone to be okay with you not being okay."

"If we give the project 110% of our attention and ability, it has a greater impact."

"Where would those kids be if they didn't have Aaron or the shop?"

"We should look at Verplank as a companion and oppurtunity for ourselves."

"The goal today is that empathy and peace of thinking about who you're impacting and helping."

# data[].attributes.body
During this stage, we generated hundreds of ideas for the golf course. We narrowed down what we wanted to do and overall, we got even more comfortable with our project.

# data[].attributes.body
What resources do you need for checking in with your students? We needed the email of the architect.

# data[].attributes.body
"How accessible/accommodating is the course for my disabled child?'

"How will this impact me?"

"We are one accident away from needing someone to be okay with you not being okay"

"If we don't give the project 110% of our attention and ability, it has greater impact"

# data[].attributes.body
"Everyone is just one accident away from needing to have someone who understands they won't be 100% all the time.

"

# data[].attributes.body
What went well in this stage? We made observations about mini golf courses.

What surprised you? How complicated it was.

What would you do differenlty? take more organized notes

# data[].attributes.body
What resources do you need for the Incubation Stage? We needed our notes from our investigation stage.

# 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?
