Summary: Before the Golden Week holiday, we spoke about how observation leads to innovation, especially working together in teams rather than working alone. I also showed some samples of the observation projects that other students have done in previous years. Questions help us reflect as we observe creativity and innovation ideas and possibilities. You discussed both readings in breakout rooms. Finally, you reflected on your upcoming projects.

2. An option to continue your Free Rice Programme. Please get 2,000 correct answers by the end of the term. Please let me know what your registered name is so you can get credit if you have not already. You do not have to complete your correct answers every week, and the homework is at your pace, but just this time.
