Once we reached a consensus on these approaches, we started the PowerPoint presentation about our design thinking process and the potential solutions we came up with. To ensure a professional presentation, we coordinated with the other groups.
After lunch, we had a Zoom call with an alumnus who had participated in the design thinking workshop the previous year. He offered us some last-minute tips for our presentations.
A significant challenge we encountered was agreeing on a format for the final PowerPoint presentation. As we had been divided into three groups tackling different issues throughout the week, each group had developed its own slides. Despite agreeing on a general format, the presentation looked a bit chaotic. This was particularly problematic for us Germans, who found the inconsistency between the slides more confusing than our American colleagues did. As a result, we had to spend valuable time deciding on a uniform slide style.
