Artifact: Solo Cup Challenge

Overview:

These artifact represents an engineering process design challenge activity that I conducted at one of my workshops.

Reflection:

I had the opportunity to watch participants figure out how to stack their solo cups without using their hands. They completed two groups at a time and the groups that worked together the best prevailed. It was enlightening for me to watch them brainstorm, design, build, test, re-evaluate, and share solutions. After everyone had a chance to do the challenge, we had a discussion in which we reflected on the process.

"The design process is a great way to tackle almost any task. "
