Week 3 Studio

Part 1: The Sorting Hat

Based on the ideas from your letters, comic strips and storyboards you will be assigned a TEMPORARY camp, where camps have been defined to include projects from all the interesting corners and regions of the map. You will also be assigned a more senior biological engineering student from 20.902/947 as your camp counselor(s). Once sorted, you, your campmates and your counselor(s) will review and catalog the ideas that got you there. In cataloging your ideas, you should include a name for each project and a one sentence description of what problem it will address. Prepare these as a powerpoint presentation that you will show to the class as well as email to the instructors, nkuldell and endy AT mit DOT edu. The last slide in your presentation should be a recap slide to review all the ideas presented.

Part 2: Mapping the world of projects

Pull up a chair and listen as your classmates present their catalogs of ideas. As you listen , you should make note of those projects from each camp that are most interesting to you and why. You will be asked list your top choice and your second choice for camps and your top three project ideas in each camp before next week.

For next time

Email your 3 favorite project ideas and your first and second choice for a camp assignment to your counselor, who will forward a collected spreadsheet to Natalie and Drew.
