Milestone 6: Reflect
Self and peer reflection on design
Key Deliverables:
Problem statement and user profile
Interview summary and research findings
Design criteria and constraints
Labeled sketches and math models
Calculations and graphs supporting the design
User feedback and design revisions
Self-reflections/assessment on process, learning, and next steps
How can we use peer feedback and practice presentations to refine our RoboTrig project, ensuring our visuals, math, and explanations are clear, accurate, and engaging for our audience?
Learning Intentions:
Rehearse and refine project presentations, using peer feedback and practice sessions to improve clarity, accuracy, and delivery, so you are fully prepared to present your solutions confidently and effectively.
Today's Concept:
You know your math. You know your design. You have your presentation. But knowing something in your head and explaining it clearly to a room full of people are two very different things.
Engineers suffer from the 'curse of knowledge': you've been staring at these triangles for weeks, so it's obvious to you. But is it obvious to your audience? Today is the dress rehearsal. It’s where we find out that the brilliant explanation in your head actually confuses everyone else. We are going to break that curse today using the most powerful tool we have left: fresh eyes. Your peers are going to tell you what makes sense, what doesn't, and help you sharpen your pitch so that when it counts, you don't just present: you convince.
