Designing Environmental Solutions

If you anticipate students struggling to find people to interview, you might set up an “ask/offer” session amongst your students.  Make a gallery wall where students can put up post-its with interviewees they’re looking for on one side (this is the “ask” side, e.g. “I’m looking for someone who is working in the environmental justice space”). Then, put up offers on the other side (e.g. “I have experience with GIS analysis” or “my neighbor works for the Parks Service”).  Have students add their names to the post-its they post, and then peruse and volunteer to help each other out by being interviewed or making introductions. If remote, the same thing can be done in a virtual whiteboard, spreadsheet, or chat thread.
