The objectives of this exercise were that students would: function as a team; asked questions of a target customer group; design a product to meet desired objectives; consider who the stakeholders for a particular product were; and consider how changes to the product would impact those stakeholders.

Moreover, the workshop is background and all students will “start from diverse places,”designed to be interactive and hands-on, so that thus needing different supports and finding engagement andattendees will leave with specific ideas for strengthening motivation in different sources [3].
