We began with having the opportunity to discuss problems that could be solved using the media that we had come up with prior to this session. I narrowed 9 problems down to 3 all in the category of smart learning and converted them into questions that I could work with.

These were-

– What can be done in schools to engage/encourage more girls into enter an engineering/ technology career?

– How can we help schools to teach students more life skills to help with life after education?

– How can we get parents/carers be more involved in their child’s education?

 

In a group we identified how likely we would be able to solve each problem, looking at their potential for impact, anything that could be problematic when solving the problem and more. All the feedback I received by the group are recorded on this sheet-

At this point I am leaning towards the issue of the amount of girls going into a career in engineering as is an issue I have witnessed myself and I feel is a problem that could be solved if the right approach is taken.

 

This is the research I had done previous to this-
