Today, you’re going to take on a real-world challenge in a change maker mini-sprint. A mini-sprint is a fast brainstorming session

1.  How can we help kids like Paola gain better access to learning?

You’ll work together in groups to brainstorm ideas and post them on a shared Padlet. This is your chance to be creative, empathetic, and bold in your thinking.

Time to Collaborate!

You’ll have 10 minutes to work together in your breakout group. Here’s what to do:

✅ Find your group’s Padlet post (your lead post). This is where you’ll share your ideas.

✅ Each person in your group should add their brainstorming ideas below the colored post. You can use drawings, pictures, short notes, or anything else that helps explain your thinking—get creative! You'll have 5 minutes for this portion.

✅ As a group, discuss your idea[s] to share during our mini-sprint round-up. Ensure that everyone agrees and feels heard.

✅ Post your final idea on the color Padlet of your breakout room. Don't forget to give your Group's post a creative title and Image that matches your group’s idea.

✅ Choose one person to be your group’s speaker
✅ Get ready to share out loud when we return!

Have fun—and think big! 🌟

Our group thought students like Paola could use a mobile learning backpack with solar chargers, mini science tools, and notebooks. It would help kids do homework even without internet or electricity.

We chose this idea because:

1. It’s portable—students who walk long distances could carry it easily.

2. It uses solar power, which works well in sunny places like Panama where electricity might not always be available.
