- 25 min - If there are 4 teams - Once they have the product each team will have time to present their worst possible product to everyone. - each team will have around 5 min to present their idea plus a few min to organise them.
- 5 min - Once the presentations are over we will share with them that if we turn all negative qualities they wrote to their positives, they will have created a product that is highly likely to be successful and will encourage them to use this technique in their life and at work.
- The STEAM elements will be predominantly discussion and practical.
- If we have time we will ask them to present their best products based on the worst product they created.
