In regards to my experience with the expo, a positive experience I had was working together with my group, setting up our stall, posters, pin board, etc. I think that this was very enjoyable and fun to see all our work finally ready. Another aspect I enjoyed from the expo was pitching our product to parents, judges and teachers. At first, I thought that it would be very daunting, but I feel like it was actually very enjoyable to see everyone's reactions.

During the expo we didn't receive too much feedback, but one piece of advice was to make the BANGA Bin attachment double sided or make the product so it can be attached inside the top of the bin and the bottom. This was so it can vacuum rubbish under the bin more effectively. Other than this, a suggestion was to make the BANGA Bin limbs out of a softer materials like rubber, so that it would make it unlikely to injure people or animals.

In terms of how the skills I have developed in Action Project and how they can help me in other areas and the future: Action Project has allowed me to develop my creativity and collaboration skills in particular. Everything leading up to the expo required a lot of creativity and collaboration. For example, I had to use creativity to create and design our product, as well as name it. But with the collaboration of peers, I was able to build good teamwork and communication skills as well. Action Project will help me in the future, as well as guide my future experiences as creativity and collaboration are both essential skillsets in many jobs, so it will be fundamental in the future. As a guide for future experiences, if I am ever in a position where I have to work with others, or even create something of my own, the skills I have developed in Action Project with assist me in these kinds of situations.

In regards to the challenges I have faced in Action Project, a challenge that I have faced, as well as my group for the expo have faced was the creation and design of our product. We struggled sticking to one idea, so we kept changing ideas. We were able to overcome this problem using teamwork and critical thinking. First we thought of something that we have all experienced, in this instance, seeing rubbish all over the floor when walking. With this we came up with the BANGA Bin. As mentioned before, it was initially a bin, but after giving it some thought, we decided to make it an attachment.

In regards to our product's development, initially we saw a lot of rubbish on the oval and all around the city, so we thought of a creating a smart bin. Then eventually, this idea turned into a vacuum bin, which was called the BANGA bin. Then after further thought, we decided to turn it into an attachment that could be used in most existing bins.

A strength that I believe that we had was our voice projection. I think that we were able to project our voices very well so that everyone in the class could hear us clearly.

An area that we could have improved in was our eye contact. Although we attempted to make eye contact we our audience, it was difficult to do it while reading our cue cards.  I think that we could improve this area by rehearsing our cue cards more, so that we can focus on eye contact.

In regards to our group's collaboration, I think that we did very well. At the start of this task, we collaboratively brainstormed ideas and planned our pitch. At the start of term 4, both my other group members were away, so we had to use communication. Despite this setback, we were still able to communicate and collaborate effectively.

INNOV8 Draft Marketing Pitch Feedback Reflection

After completing the first marketing pitch, I received feedback from my peers. Overall, the feedback that myself and Kaige had received was quite positive, a lot better than I had expected. The feedback said that we provided good explanations for our problem and product, but we could have worked on our enthusiasm, which I agree with. For our final, when my group hopefully has all members present, I will try to work on my enthusiasm, as well as speaking.

Taking my feedback into account, next time I will try to write more detailed and in-depth reflections, not just a recount. Furthermore, I will try to mention what I have learnt, what ideas I have developed. what I found challenging and what I would like to improve on. I will also try to keep track of all my reflections, so that I don't miss any.

In this lesson, we had to present our Spin-Off Project infomercial. I think that our spin-off definitely could have gone a lot better, as one of our group members had messed up the editing. This caused our infomercial to be incomplete, forcing us to perform some of our spin-off live. If we were to do this again, I would like to put more effort into the planning of the infomercial, but also make sure that the video and the editing is satisfactory before handing in.

During online and in class action project lessons, I have had to use the 4C's during certain activities.  For example, during the product pitch activity, I had to use collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. These C's were necessary as I had to collaborate well with my peers, creatively come up with a product and use critical thinking to problem solve. Without the use of these three C's, the product pitch wouldn't have been as successful as it was.  Aside from the 4C's, I also had to use innovation, to help my group come up with a innovative, creative and useful idea/product.

After lockdown, we were assigned a task to redesign our chosen partners lockdown. During this task, I had to use my design thinking toolsets to find 'the right problem'. First I had to interview my partner about what he liked and disliked about lockdown, then choose a problem of choice. Out of the few problems stated, I chose: lack of motivation, due to the fact that online learning, wasn't as engaging. After this, I had to interview him once again, on the aspects that I would like to know more about. My final 'right problem' was: Students lack motivation during online leaning, due to the fact that it isn't as engaging as in class learning.

After I had found the 'right problem', I had to find the 'right solution'. First, I had to create 'How Might We?' questions, then brainstorm some solutions. After brainstorming, I chose a couple ideas that I liked, and created a solution/product that I had to pitch, which was quite challenging. I had to think of something that was innovative, creative and useful. The solution that I came up with, was a fun app that allowed students to help plan online lessons. By allowing students help plan lessons, it created a more engaging online lesson. Overall, this task was challenging, but it helped me develop my Design Thinking toolsets further.

This was the feedback that I received after pitching my product.

In this online lesson, we were given ideas and prompts. With the given prompts, we had to create a product or service inspired by the given prompts. My group was given a rectangle with two triangles, must be suitable for health workers and must be related to nature. Our group came up with biodegradable masks and medical equipment. Although it was challenging, we researched a material that would be suitable for a mask, and another material that was suitable for medical equipment. We then researched facts about disposable non-biodegradable masks and medical equipment that could be used in our pitch. Once our research time was up, we were split into another breakout group, where we had to pitch our product to other students. Pitching the product was challenging, as I had to rehearse many facts about the product and remember them during the pitch. Once I had finished the pitch, the other people in the group had to give me feedback and vice versa. Overall, the pitch was fun and creative way to challenge myself.

After discovering my VIA strengths during lockdown, in class we had to share and discuss our strengths along with a fun fact amongst classmates.

After the short discussion, we had to share one of our partners strengths, along with the fun fact.

Overall, this lesson was fun, as it tested our listening, vocal projection and speaking skills.
