Marshmallow Challenge!!2Your team has 18 minutes to build the tallest freestanding structure that supports the marshmallow on top. The winning team is the one that has the tallest structure measured from the table surface to the top of the marshmallow. That means the structure cant be suspended from a higher structure, like a chair, ceiling or light fixture. The entire marshmallow needs to be on the top of the structure. Cutting or eating part of the marshmallow disqualifies the team. Use as much or as little of the kit: The team can use as many or as few of the 20 spaghetti sticks, as much or as little of the string or tape. The team cannot use the paper bag as part of their structureBreak up the spaghetti, string, or tape: Teams are free to break the spaghetti, cut up the tape and string to create new structures. When time runs out, teams cannot hold on to the structure. It must be freestanding to be measured. Those touching or supporting the structure at the end of the exercise will be disqualified

14Design ThinkingOn a poster, groups will make a story board that expresses the ideal experience of a student at that moment in the pathway (you will be assigned a moment). The images can represent a literal or symbolic representations of that experience.Becky, Jeanne, Jan15Design ThinkingPut your story boards up in order

Gallery walk How did this illustration activity help you better appreciate the user experience? Did you think of a way in which the real experience should/could work better?Becky, Jeanne, Jan16Design ThinkingIn small groups, discuss the following: As in the student pathway, there is also a path of professional engagement.

Take a few minutes to fill in the key milestones on your pathway to this mountain today?Where do you get stuck?Where were the key moments? Practices?Discuss briefly with your table. How was your experience different from the experiences of your colleagues? (Why are you here and not your colleagues?)

Becky, Jeanne, Jan17Design ThinkingIn small groups, discuss the following: As in the student pathway, there is also a professional engagement.

What would that ideal pathway look like?( Should there be a pathway that leads more colleagues to the mountain?)What are the momentum points?Share out with the group so we can chart the key momentum points.Becky, Jeanne, Jan18HomeworkCreate an "experiential blueprint" via video or digital storyboard for your assigned momentum point from the professional pathway. In other words, what would an ideal experience of this moment along the journey look like?If you have not read the Wenger article and chosen several golden lines to discuss, please do so now.Post group why with group picture to Facebook Group
