School visits
Ideas are a skill
School mostly asks for the one right answer. We are interested in how many a student can find on their own. We come to secondary schools with Od koncepta do produkta, an interactive workshop: students arrive at ideas of their own, test them on their classmates and take one of them further.
So far we have visited Gimnazija Vič, Gimnazija Kranj and Gimnazija Bežigrad. We are beginning to bring Shape Talk into the classroom as well, the moderated debates we otherwise run at our own events.

01
A workshop, not a lecture
The class works from the first minute. We set the frame and steer as they go.
-
02
Divergent thinking
The workshop rests on reaching as many ideas of your own as you can, rather than guessing the one right answer. That ability declines with age.

03
From idea to MVP
The group picks one idea, gives it a first tangible form and shows what it would be good for. It ends with a presentation.

Moments from the visit
Photos from the visit to Gimnazija Bežigrad: a Shaper in front of the class, the exercise on the screen, a slide about Shapers Academy, and the room from the back. Wide frames and frames from behind only, because the students are minors. Photos from Gimnazija Vič and Gimnazija Kranj will follow.
