Within your team, you will share and discuss the possible project ideas generated by each team member. Your team will use a graph to help evaluate the ideas to determine its top 3 ideas for what problem to solve. Then your team will gather additional feedback on its top 3 ideas from potential stakeholders.
YOUR TASK
Each team member should briefly explain his or her possible ideas for what problem your team project might solve. As a group, briefly discuss each idea, and then plot each idea on this graph based on:
how much your team is interested in solving the problem (from LOW to HIGH)
how much the school community would benefit from solving the problem (from LOW to HIGH)
On the graph, each idea will be represented by a circle with a unique number. Five numbered circles have been provided that you should drag-and-drop into the graph to plot ideas. Copy-and-paste to create more circles, and then change their numbers (to make 6, 7, 8, etc.).
TIP: The graph can be modified by clicking it and selecting the "Edit" link below the graph.
Below the graph, provide a legend that summarizes the idea represented by each number.
EXAMPLE: Here is an example of a completed graph with ten ideas plotted.
Each idea should be plotted relative to the other ideas.
For example, if there is less team interest in the current idea compared to another idea, the current idea should be located further left than the other idea. If the current idea will have a greater community benefit compared to the other idea, the current idea should be located higher than the other idea.
After plotting circles for all the ideas, your team should select its top 3 project ideas, and fill out the table on the second page of the graph.
HINT: You will probably want to select ideas located towards the upper right of your graph.
Share your top 3 project ideas with stakeholders that might be affected by these problems, so you can get their feedback on how much they are interested in having these problems solved.
