A simple essay on what I saw and learned is not significant enough and in my mind needs to be tailored to student roles on the team. I am thinking along the lines of students doing detailed interviews with students and mentors from top tier teams to learn about how they developed their robot, web, animation, program....
I will need to provide the students with as much structure and pre-thought on how to interview and what questions to ask. I really need to get them to elaborate during the interviews and get involved with the conversation. It will be difficult to get the seniors to complete this task since they are very short on time in school and I have but a few things to hold over their head. I do feel that I can make this part of the decision process for next years students who want to attend a second event.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome
