INTENSE FACE-TO-FACE FIRST PHASE OVER

we've been offline for quite a while, mainly because of dialogue, discovery, design and scoldings happening in the classrooms. nevertheless, we have set our diretions clearly for each one of us.
let me just summarize the feel of each direction.

rae: volcano in phillippines
kylie: spca constraints
bern: organizing teens
tricia: defrost chick
albert: party cup
xuefen: b ball girl
carina: red cross patriot
chang: foodstall dilemma
zenobia: essential oil burner
jason: tshirt thrower
jc: daddy's lorry?
nigel: queuing up?
hafizah: senior citizens a nation's focus
farhana: bags bags bags
chunjing: restaurant with what theme???
ah kwang: chairs, teachers and students???

these direction might change based on the balance of problem and solution creation as we go along!

anyways, here's a look at the ideation i presented at the pupils seminar, look at the process and especially the gameplan.... they are hints for your next gameplan.
