Design Challenge Innovators

Yesterday was our EM Innovation in Education Design challenge.  We had participants from our faculty and residents, and also some really talented medical students on their sub-internship with us.  After a presentation on 21st century concepts of learning and teaching, and a brief workshop on some new tools the teams let loose and had just a few hours to design and create.

Along the way we discovered many hidden talents and I was amazed at the skill level. The day was fun, energetic, creative, entertaining and educational.  Thanks to all the participants.

I think my favorite of the day was the ‘six second” design challenge using Vine. This series of making tools from everyday ED supplies was one of my favorites. Congratulations and thanks to  Frank Ferraioli, Michael Spigner, Ryan O’Halloran, and Thomas Yang the design team responsible for creating these.
