This element should be a maximum of 1000 words, must be submitted to Moodle by September ??.  Your piece should address 3 elements:

  • The Design Thinking Process and me: (300 words max)

The key element of this summer school required students to work in a multi-national interdisciplinary team in undertaking an industry-based design project.

Reflect on how you have come through the Design Thinking Process, reflect on how the process assisted you and your team in developing a solution for your client.  What elements helped the most etc. in assisting your team to arrive at a successful solution?

  • The People: (500 words maximum)

Based on your participation within your team, you are required to write a reflection piece.  Questions which may be worth considering to prompt reflection include: 

·         What personality traits do I have that may make it easy for me to contribute positively to the team? 

·         How will I measure such enablers and leverage opportunity?

·         What personality traits do I have that may make it difficult to contribute positively to the team?  

·         How can I mitigate against such challenges? 

·         Who among my team demonstrated qualities that significantly benefited/hindered the team, and how can I learn from this in developing my own competencies in effective teamwork?

·         Did I gain new insights and perspective on my role in teams? 

·         If so, how will this be of benefit in the future?

·         What elements could I apply to life in general?

 

Rather than listing all of your strengths and weaknesses, it is recommended that you select a 'big ticket' item/important insight that you can explore further by reflection in the hope of realising long-term benefits.

Another element of this summer school required students to be creative in developing creative solutions. Reflect on how creative YOU were in the development of your team’s solution.
