Obtaining Feedback - Survey
-
You will use the Student Survey Graphic Organizer to help your team gather data

Each team will develop a minimum of 5 survey questions. Each team member will be required to interview at least 3 persons, and take notes on their responses. Once your survey is completed, you will meet with your team to analyze the results, and summarize them in a Word Document.

Using your data, you will create a graph or interview analysis that will be part of your final Tri Board presentation.
-
The data your team collects will help you to adjust your ideas and help explain your team's design process to the judges in the competition.
