  • Describe what you have seen, heard, listened to
  • Share what you have learned or what insights you have gained 
  • So what? What does this mean for you, the community, the world? What do you want to look at for further investigation? What do you want others to look at?

Need inspiration for your own project - look at what these guys chose to explore: 

  • Here is a guy who loves music and suggests that there is no original song. Look at what he has researched to prove this. 
  • Charlie Todd wanted to explore how to make people happy, laugh, or just wake up. Look at his experiment. 
  • Adam Savage, host of mythbusters, was obsessed with the dodo bird, but found something different.
