Monday, May 2— status update :D

GROUP EVALUATION

START:
We will make sure that the workload is split up evenly; perhaps begin assigning group members specific tasks to make sure we are all contributing equally, whether during or outside of class. We need to maximize our efficiency during classtime and also ensure our blog is updated regularly by establishing a blogging rotation.

STOP:
We need to avoid distractions and instead focus on our goal; sometimes we've explored ideas that weren't very relevant to our exhibit and we'd be more productive if we stopped taking these birdwalks. Essentially, stop wasting class time.

CONTINUE:
We will maintain our good communication and collaborative effort, as well as a positive and receptive atmosphere for brainstorming and contributing ideas. We already have many great contributions and links on our blog, and we want to keep that flow of ideas going.

FRONT END EVALUATION

We also developed survey questions to determine what our intended audience already knows and would like to know about human power:

• How would you define renewable energy?

• What do you know about human power? Do you think it is a renewable resource?

• What technology or devices do you associate with human power?

• If you had access to technology that allowed you to harness human power would you use it?

• Have you ever heard of a dance floor that harnesses human energy?

• Would you dance in a public space alone? with friends? What would inspire you to dance in public?

• Would you be more drawn to an exhibit that featured sound or light?

• What would you be interested in learning about human power?

We are each going to survey 10 people before class on Wednesday and then post a summary of our individual results to the blog. In class we will compile these results and write up a short description of our findings, the method used to gather the data, and how we refined our design based on the front end evaluation.
