1. “Are You Paying Attention?” is an assignment giving by a
Venture Lab class – A Crash Course to Creativity.
Our mission was go and take pictures at different places,
then create a presentation that captures your INSIGHTS
and HIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES.
As an educator, I immediately saw opportunities
to teach. Embedding quotes and photos, I created
a slide presentation that gives evidence for why
paying attention matters.
Michele Poovey
