We saw lots of great opportunities for change! Here are a few ideas that emerged to support students’ social and emotional well-being:
<br><br>

Also, as part of the learning experience for this session, you watched the documentary Extreme By Design, which follows a group of students taking a d.school class called “Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability” (or Extreme, for short). Based on your comments in the discussion forum, the film was an eye-opener.
<br><br>
Many of you commented in the [[2021 talk:Forum/Extreme By Design|forum]] about how the film depicted the challenges and opportunities that come with working in a new team, and with those from different backgrounds and disciplines.

Blake from Virginia Tech Hubertus Ade Resha Raditya Boli said “Only a few members were trained engineers, “It’s not easy to combine many heads into one. Everyone has different perspectives, but all played that can be either an opportunity or an important role in product developmentobstacle. That’s why communication is needed to maximize the opportunity and minimize the obstacle. Also<br><br>Andrea Restrepo Vives said, “I think that in a team it was is really important that and really beneficial to have all of these different perspectives and personalities because it is what makes the process and the teams felt uncomfortable togethersolutions so innovative and effective. I think As fellows we are all in charge of making sure that UIF highlights we are able to successfully use and take advantage of all our different characters to provide the importance of being uncomfortable togetherbest solutions.”<br><br>
