• What are the common personal goals within the members of your team, and how can you leverage those goals to build collaboration?

• We all want to make connections with peers and knowledgeable industry professionals. 
• We all want to further our understanding of the content we learn in our classes to then be able to apply the knowledge we gain outside of the classroom.
• We all want to be more involved with community outreach through the different programs we are all a part of.

Because of our shared interest in creating connections with professionals in our future work fields, that can be leveraged to build collaboration because we are currently partnering with LUAG and plan on expanding to other galleries and art spaces. Additionally, as we all want to gain more knowledge and be able to apply it outside of the classroom, we would be able to collaborate with each other through our shared knowledge and interests so we can learn from each other. Along with that, as we are all interested in being more involved with the surrounding Southside community, we can work together to share the different opportunities that we know of through the different programs we are a part of to get involved with community outreach opportunities.

• What are the common project goals within the members of your team, and how can you leverage those goals to make progress?

• Further understand the learning and emotional behavioral disorders of students to create appropriate accommodations
  • Instead of starting from scratch, we can apply the research that  already exists regarding intervention strategies in supporting learning for students with learning disabilities to our understanding. 
• Plan out our progress goals for the end of the semester and the summer 
• We would like to prepare our project for presentation to other interest groups, as we have the opportunity to exhibit our work in the LUAG Student Exhibition space as well as the Arts Accessibility Conference hosted by LUAG in the fall 

• What are some biases that might become a barrier to your project goals?
• Virtual tours are usually done in a traditional format of presentation style. If people were to hear about our tailored virtual tours, they might expect the tour to be formatted a certain way. 
• With our project being a unique, new concept it is expected that we may encounter many biases from outside parties. One bias will be that there are not a lot of immersive learning centers in the world, especially in the education system in the United States. To this, we would argue that our product will be usable by not only immersive centers, but any 360 space. This includes virtual reality headsets and personal electronic devices like tablets, computers, and phones. We have a bias with this project because we do have access to the immersive learning center as well as the resources to create tours without any financial investment. 

• What type of decision-making system will you use and why?

• Because our group is only made up of five students and two advisors, we have not had any difficulty making big decisions as we are on the same page goal-wise. However, it is easy to make decisions together as we all are comfortable contributing to discussion and voicing our thoughts/concerns. If needed, we do take “votes” to make decisions regarding dates to meet.

1. Identify FIVE specific things in your slides that you could have done differently.

1. We could have included less words on our slides.
2. We could have prepared more slides specifically for the Q&A section.
3. We could have had slides that specifically focused on our micro and macro impact.
4. We could have had slides that talked about our future goals for this project.
5. We could have had slides discussing the obstacles we think we will face and how we will work around them.

2. Identify FIVE specific ways in which you could have delivered your presentation better.

1. We could have been more concise and clear with our reasoning and purpose for the project. We only had one slide for our reasoning, but we could have reinforced that throughout the presentation. 
2. We could have introduced ourselves earlier in the presentation. We put our team photo in the middle of the presentation as we were presenting the partners, but this pacing might be hard to follow along. 
3. We could have had examples of the prompting questions that we are going to include in our tour and other concrete examples of how we are going to make the tour interactive, including a prototype.
4. We could have also brought a bit more energy to represent our collective enthusiasm for our project. We could have incorporated more hand gestures to keep our presentation from being stiff.
5. We could have made a video walk through of the gallery and/or the ILC in order to show the audience a more in depth view of the space we are working in. 

3. Identify FIVE specific ways you could have built your credibility further.

1. We could have included more research specifically referencing the use of technology in special education.
2. We could have included testimonials from Centennial School Staff on how the Immersive Learning Center impacts the students and their learning. 
3. We could have included examples of our competition: established museum tours or tours on Matterport, and contrast them against our tailored content.
4. We could have had more progress on our first tour to show in order to present to the judges what our work is going to look like. 
5. We could have given an example of the research we had already completed, such as attaching a screenshot of our Google Sheet that has all of the art piece information. 

4. Identify FIVE specific questions that you could have answered better. What was the question, how did you respond, and how should you have responded?

1. The one question that we were not equipped to answer was the logistics of licensing. We only knew a little bit about licensing artwork from LUAG, but we could not answer how we would acquire licensing from other art galleries for our future virtual tours outside of the Lehigh University campus.
2. The question about why we were interested in this project in the first place–only one of us got to really answer it. I wish we would’ve had more time to let all of us respond, but we got cut off. In the future, we should shorten our answers so everyone has a chance to speak. 
3. There was one question about who our audience was specifically for the project. In our presentation, we mainly said we were making tours for neurodivergent students. The judges wanted to specify if the tours would be intended for people with disabilities. We clarified that it was intended for students with learning and behavioral disorders. 
4. We could have come with questions prepared for the judges because around minute 12 they ran out of questions for us and it was just silent in the room. 
5. There was a question regarding our future plans regarding other art galleries that we would want to partner with in the future like the MET. We said that we had a connection through the Lehigh Art Gallery, Dr. William Crow, who worked in the MET in the past. Continuously, we should have elaborated more like mentioned an action plan for how we would secure that connection with our future art galleries.

• Identify all of the key customers for your product/service/creation/solution. List specific ways that you will ensure that your product will meet their aspirational, emotional, and functional needs and desires. 

1. 1. Neuro-divergent students
      1. We will revisit and revise our resource upon observing the kids’ reactions and engagement levels surrounding our product. Currently, we are planning on personalizing this resource by creating an interactive tour where students can go at their own pace.
   2. The teachers
      1. We will provide them with a brief outline of what the tours are going to look like before giving it to them; we are also going to provide this educational resource for free. Continuously, whatever they observe in class and report back to us, will help us make revisions to our product after the initial stages.
2. Articulate your value propositions for each of your customer segments (using the format presented in class).
   1. For neuro-divergent students who get left behind in the traditional learning and social environment, our resource is a way for them to experience a new way of learning that is catered to their needs and gives them the opportunity to participate in an institutionalized space without all the expectations and regulations of one.
   2. For educators who teach children with learning disabilities, our product provides a new way for teachers to educate their students on things such as the arts through a 3D immersive and interactive experience for free.
