Week 3: Develop International Early Years Science Activity

Show and tell

Now is your chance to show off your great ideas! You will need to be ready to present your short pitch presentation to the other teams. You may want to use your T-Bar diagram of your idea as a basis for this pitch

After each team has presented their idea you have the chance to ask questions and give feedback! Make sure your questions are friendly and any feedback you give is constructive! Feel free to share any research you have discovered that you think might help the other teams.

Below are some resources taken from Rise’s “How to be a Design Thinker” self study pack.

This week is all about giving you a space to work on your idea. As a team you should start shaping your idea into a reality.
