To get at the heart of experimentation. Let's do it. At any point today...
- Take your hexagon...
- Think of one experiment or project you want to commit to trying this year.
- Use sketchnote techniques we learned to visually represent your idea for an experiment.
- Take a selfie with your hexagon goal and post it to Twitter with the hashtag #Aggietech15
- Place the hexagon near other related experiments on the poster paper--you can move them around at any point as the thinking map develops
