Help us cluster the prompt answers

Follow this link to cluster the ideas so that during the Energy 101 workshops we can narrow the focus of the challenge We think you will find this a fun and interesting task, and it will really help us to shape the next steps of the workshops It should take less than 10 minutes The deadline for this exercise is 3pm Monday 6 June 2022 A guide to Well-sorted can be found here

Workshop 4 will now take place on 15 June rather than 16 June.

Deadline for clustering in 3pm on monday 6 June.

Phase one can cater for a large number of participants that predominantly work independently using virtual tools to generate responses to the prompt “How might we develop an inclusive approach to reducing end user carbon footprints?” The second stage involves investigating these responses in a series of virtual workshops that span 3 weeks to develop these ideas whist learning and practically applying problem-solving techniques The introductory and orientation session will be on 10 May 2022, independant on-line phase will be from 10 May until 6 June Workshop series consists of 5 half day workshops on 7, 9, 14, 16 and 21 June

During the Energy 101 challenge participants will be exposed a variety of creative problem-solving principles, ideas, and applications The intended learning journey can be divided into the four stages of the Creative Problem Solvers Learner's Model based on Osborn-Parnes process
