What went well in this stage?

The presentation went relatively smoothly. Was a lot more coordinated than I expected, and was an overall fun time. -Ben

The presentation! I'm very happy with how it went! :)) -Tey <33

My save when my notecard betrayed me-yuna

I loved our presentation! We were able to crack jokes and seem comfortable!! I’m so happy with it!! -Jovi

The presentation!! We all did so well and hit all the points we needed to talk about!-Lily

What surprised you?

The fact that some of our feedback was things that we had talked about. -Ben

How fast everything was able to come together, we worked hard! -Tey <33

That we were able to make this on such short notice! We had a day!! I’m very proud of us!! -Jovi

How comfortable we all were talking in a big group of people!- Lily

What would you do differently next time?

Probably be more clear with various points. -Ben

Work to not have to read off my cards as much - Tey <33

My save when my notecard betrayed me-yuna

I would maybe start on the presentation sooner so we have room for even more improvement and excellence!! -Jovi

I would bring up KFB’s mission more- Lily

What went well in this stage?

•We did a really well job getting all the details figured out and thinking about all the aspects- Lily

• we truly had lots of details and specifics, I don’t think that was a struggle at all! -Jovi

• We didn't let limitations get to us and were able to adapt to them very well!

- Tey <33

Agreeing and seeing where each other were-yuna

What surprised you?

•how hard picking just one was! Every solution we had going into the final stages had its pros and cons.- Lily

• It was quite hard to be receiving so many ideas and not being able to use all of them! -Jovi

• How deep we were able to get into our Solution, we did really good research

- Tey <33

Narrowing down good ideas because they were not realistic 😔yuna

What would you do differently next time?

• I would decide a little quicker and get into the details quicker.- Lily

• definitely try to narrow down sooner so we can fully get the best solution. -Jovi

• Narrow down quicker as well - Tey <33

You guys all said the same thing so… Narrowing down solutions quicker..?🤨yuna

What went well in this stage?

•I think it was great help to receive advice from other students! It helped a lot!- Jovi

•the group gave us great ideas and advice on how to make our idea better!-Lily

Receiving opinions outside our group yuna

What surprised you?

• It’s so insane to see the difference in what the business are trying to solve and how many different ideas they came up with! All are very creative! -Jovi

•How different each problem is and how each had wildly different budgets. -Ben

•how easy it was to connect and give and get great feedback with the other group-Lily

Thinking outside the box yuna

What would you differently next time?

I think we needed to have a bit of a head start on our presentation so we felt like we knew what to say. -Jovi

Definitely a start on the presentation beforehand -Ben

Start the presentation earlier- Lily

Slowing down yuna

Hi!! My name is Chloe Bellinger and I teach at Hudsonville High School. I am a Family Consumer Science teacher who specializes in Fashion Design, Foods & Nutrition, and Housing & Interior Design.

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

• Researching the building blocks of our driving question! -Lily

Using our trips to learn, observe, and brainstorm new ideas! -Jovi

Gaining new perspective from each other and field trips-YUNA

• coming up with ideas and adapting to situations or limits - Tey <33

What surprised you?

• the different definitions of sustainability to different people. At the farmers market, different vendors had different ways to stay sustainable and sustainability meant different things to each person.-Lily

It was very shocking to know how to target different groups in various ways! At Frederick Meijer gardens we got to see different ways that they gain attention from kids vs adults! -Jovi

Frederick Meijer gardens improved a lot even tho it is a non-profit organization. -YUNA

The fact that non profits can do so so much with so little, it's very inspiring!! - Tey <33

What would you do differently?

• I’d take more time to ask specifics about KFB’s mission sooner.-Lily

More time actually stopping and asking our group what the meaning of what we see is. It was mostly admiration rather than bringing attention to what they were trying to do!- Jovi.

Trying to ask other people more questions about their perspective rather then creating my own thoughts inside my own head without seeing if we are in the same page. Yuna

Make sure we keep track of things to use for our ideas - Tey<33

We focused on a few ideas and made them work. -Ben

Everyone had so much creativity and amazing ideas and the fact we agreed on the few ideas that would be best -yuna

Come up with more ideas and get a clearer picture for this - Tey <33

Being able to be decisive is something we definitely could improve. -Jovi
