Physical face-to-face activity is key! And our Hothousing workshops provide a great opportunity to Create, Compete, Collaborate! The common features of Hothousing workshops are: (1) Students and experts working together under considerable time pressure, which appears to (2) Stimulate creativity and output to go beyond ideas to (3) Deliver real outcomes and, believe it or not to... (4) Have fun! In the first video we see a superb winning presentation (Compete!). In the second, we see experts and students working together on real challenges (Create!), and in the third we see the intense, competitive engagement to encourage working together and to get the creative juices flowing (Collaborate!)
In addition to the educational benefit, this presents a magnificent way for adults from collaborating organisations and corporates to engage! A major feature of our activity so far has been the contribution of BT, and other, experts. We now wish to build on this contribution as we move from the wonderful learning experience of Hothouse activity to injecting formal coaching interventions with fully trained BT volunteers Right from the start of our Hothousing work, students were highly impressed, in their words, with adults who 'listened to them and their ideas'. Again, this presents a huge opportunity for others to contribute their expertise!
