Kick Start Hui

 Our MIT kick start hui was a great introduction, to the people, the process and a beautiful place. We learnt lots, we had fun. 


Innovation Incubator 

Dorothy introduced us to innovation and talked about intrepid innovators in education.

This quote resonated with me:

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Rob Siltaner






Design Thinking Intro

What it's all about. Understanding the process.

Parent Evening: Analysis of Variance (Town Hall Skit)

Yeah, it was fun to be the 'cleaner' in a school and present a different point of view.

Role Play in pairs

An opportunity to empathise with how our problem is affecting people through role play. 

Rewriting our Problem Statement



With the idea of 'sitting with the problem' we teased out the problem. Lots of thinking, lots of questions. I love that the process is so collaborative.

How Might We Statement

Through discussion of the problem, lots of notes, diagrams to aid understanding we finally arrived at a statement. It felt like a great step to have this question. 

How Might We make this school's institutional knowledge transparent and accessible for all staff?

Crazy 8's Ideation Task

And so, onto the possible solutions. Well if we are crazy enough to think we can change the world...

Eight ideas in eight minutes, more or less. No idea too crazy. It didn't matter about the execution, it was just an idea at this point. It wasn't about the artwork either, thankfully.

The dots were added later as others supported the ideas.


Identifing our network of support



Who will journey with us on this project. Who will support, be the experts, be the users. In short who is our Tribe. 








It was a fabulous beginning and definitely a kick start into the project.

Big thanks to Matt, Dorothy for leading us and Jenny in the kitchen. Thank you to Dorothy for sharing her beautiful space and family life. Thanks to Bill and Mac for providing entertainment.
