Simon from the Braemar Mountain Rescue Team and Anthony from the Scottish Fire and Rescue service shared their experiences of surviving in environments with extreme conditions. They also set us tasks and challenges to complete.
During our projects, we took part in a gallery walk. We prepared for this by displaying our progress to date and then gave each other feedback that was kind, specific and helpful. After the gallery walk, we reviewed what others 'liked' and 'wondered' and used these to make improvements.
Near the end of our projects, we wrote to Simon from Braemar Mountain Rescue Team to update him on our progress. We hope that he is pleased with the solutions we devised for his problems!
