In class this week we had the opportunity to participate in a workshop with Dr. Elif Akçalı who is a professor in Industrial Systems and Engineering at the University of Florida. Her workshop focused on storytelling and involved several engaging activities that emphasized creativity in the storytelling process. The highlight of the workshop was an activity in which each member of IPPD started a comic strip and then passed it along to a fellow classmate to add the next scene to the comic. The result was a bunch of very interesting and creative stories.

The workshop was tied to the upcoming tasks we have for our project. For the final presentation we will be putting together a poster and a video. It will be very important that we capture our entire year of IPPD in these small displays. Therefore, we must pay careful attention to the story that we choose to tell.
