This document outlines a microteach session on speed making. The session will include an introduction, a 5-minute speed making activity where participants create a work using a randomly assigned artform, a show and tell where participants share their creations, and a discussion. For the speed making activity, participants will be assigned one of several artforms such as collage, dance, or poetry to quickly create a new work from an object. Afterwards, they will reflect on the process and share their work before voting and discussing their experiences.
