Walk and Look

Walk and Look

The aim is to create new ideas for the challenge.

1.  The students go for a walk 2-4 together. The students bring a copy of the challenge to be clear all the time of what are the questions they want to ideate solutions for.  The students also bring “post-it notes”  and a pen for writing down the ideas. Alternative the students can use their mobile for noting the idea.  
2.  The teachers gives  students  a time limit of when they have to be back on the location again. If the weather is nice – they can walk outside to get inspiration for solutions for the challenge. If the weather is bad the students can do the same exercise inside.
3.  The students go together - and take turns to point on an object - they see. They then look at the challenge and let what they are pointing at inspire an idea for solving the challenge. They keep pointing at objects until the time runs out.
4.  When they meet the deadline - they go back to the class-room and bring their stack of ideas.

The activity could be done using online tools such as Padlet, virtual whiteboard and breakout rooms in Teams/Zoom.
