How do I use stations in a prototyping course?

In short: sometimes I setup different tables and workspaces with exercises, challenges and materials that learners can use to develop their prototype. Learners can pick and stick to a station or move from one to the other.

In my coaching approach I often offer a menu of options of the type of Daniele people can get. This week I used a similar idea.

Instead of creating one program for everyone I created different stations that learners could pick and spend time in.

Each station had:

  • A mini hand made poster with a prompt or a tiny how-to guide
  • Material to use in the session
  • The furniture needed for the session placed in a specific way (chair, table, wall)

Here a few photos of this tiny stations:

As the photos show it, a good old hand made sign does the trick.

By the way, this is also something that is often done in Sunday church services by pastors.
