Post-Trip Assignments
Design Challenges
As a team, collaboratively complete design challenge worksheets for all projects identified and supplement them with pictures. Bring the hard copies to class.
Pictures
As a team, collaboratively sort through your pictures, select the most relevant ones, and organize them into several folders:
- one folder for each project with the 10-20 most relevant pictures
- one folder with general trip pictures (about 20-30)
- one folder that has truly spectacular photos
Upload the pictures onto the D-Lab Flickr account. Add captions to describe each picture. Use the D-Lab India Avani Charcoal & Stove collection as a sample of how to title, caption and attribute credits to photographs.

Presentation
In the lecture session the week after your trip (lecture #8), each team will give a 10-minute presentation about their trip, and present the top 3-5 ideas for projects. You are welcome to only use pictures for the presentation, so that you don’t have to spend time prepping slides. To do so, just create a Flickr folder with the pictures from your presentation.
Trip Summary
As a team, collaboratively write a 2–3 page narrative of what happened on the trip. Include fun/interesting anecdotes in addition to an overview of what was accomplished. In addition, write a list of lessons learned at the end, documenting things that went well and things that could be improved about the trip.
