Overall experience

What did I love

What did I hate

▶ we had to put too much effort in decision making and self-facilitation of the whole process [thus, not enough time for more experiments individually or in small groups/pairs]
▶ feeling stuck again on deciding on concept & form [thus, we had to split into smaller groups - that's nice, we should have done it 1-2 weeks earlier at least]
▶ lack of time [but can we help it...]

What would I like to keep

▶ having more time for reads in the beginning [but less than a month]
▶ start making the prototypes after we've already read and reflected on the reads
▶ having restriction about the special issue form [in this case - a physical loot box]

What would I like to improve

▶ look for a balance between reading/researching and prototyping/experimenting
_IDEA_ from a conversation with Chae: how about we only read for 2 weeks and then only prototype/experiment for another 2 weeks
& then back to more research while already elaborating on some of the initial ideas
▶ more space for experiments & also getting feedback from the tutors
