May 5: Class Review

Today our group participated in a group evaluation, which then led to a 'start/stop/continue' activity. We discussed the following:

1. Start
• Begin drawing what the exhibit will physically look like
• evaluate and delegate tasks to execute the model and design
2. Stop
• Stop researching new and different alternatives for an exhibit and focus on one idea
3. Continue
• Continue to set small goals each class to help refine the project
• Continue designing the exhibit

Another topic that our group discussed during class was questions for the front end evaluations. We wanted to focus on questions that addressed the interest of the public and whether they aligned with our exhibit goals. The main goal of the exhibit is to generate excitement and awareness of the potential benefits of wind energy. The questions we came up with are posted below this entry, but in summary they are meant to ask the public what their current knowledge is on the wind energy, if they are interested, and what are the areas they would like to learn more about. 

In response to those questions, we came up with two different options for the exhibit. One addresses a more practical and technical side of wind energy, while the other approaches the topic of wind energy and its effect on society. After we survey the public, and assess their responses, one of those two options will be chosen for further design.
