Today was the first session in the Edu Tech hackathon. The objective of the session was for the participants to learn about the problem people faced in their workspaces/learning spaces. When we reached the National Design Center we were breached about the for the next few sessions. Then we were asked to look for blue Post-Its that were stuck all around the room. Both me and my sister got Post-Its with the number 5 on them. We were asked to Queue up at the back of room based on our numbers in front of the whiteboard with our number on it. Then we had to one by one write the first thing that came to our minds when we thought about workspaces/learning spaces. Then we had to write on some yellow Post-Its people who were involved in workspaces/learning spaces. We were then asked to think (in our groups) about questions to ask people about their workspaces/learning spaces. Then we were given a set of people to target (designers, makers and architects) and we went around the building to give people interviews. We interviewed 11 people and were rejected by one person. Then we had to talk about one thing all the people we interviewed had in common. We were given homework 'Interview and talk to some people and come with a problem you want to solve'. The End.
