Congratulations to all who participated in the Ideation activity at the 2017 Extension Annual Conference. The winning idea received 35 votes from attendees:
Use augmented reality and gamification to teach emergency prep and response. It is difficult to train our brain to respond when we haven’t experienced the event.
Idea proposed by: Jamie Davis, Lauren Grand, Patty Driscoll, Carolyn Ashton, John Baggot, Virginia Bodeau, Lena Hosking, Lynette Black.
This group wins registration scholarships to attend the upcoming eXtension Designathon in Portland in February 2018.
