Participants from as far away as British Columbia, Oregon, and Florida, joined UM-Flint and UM-Ann Arbor faculty, graduate students, and staff for three days of workshops, competitive storytelling, unconferencing, and other activities designed to spark ideas and create connections across institutions and disciplines. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last day of the Gathering was dedicated to a full day workshop where attendees applied design thinking to their own projects, using a specially designed set of iiE Design Mindset CARDS as a framework. The cards, featuring prompts, questions, and suggestions for project teams through six phases of the design process, were used by seven different teams as they worked on topics ranging from s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ocial and emotional learning to inter-faith solidarity.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A total of about 70 people attended activities over the three days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"perfect-pullquote vcard pullquote-align-right pullquote-border-placement-left\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;We want to break down institutional and professional barriers.&#8221;<\/p><footer itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><cite><span itemprop=\"name\">Pagan Poggione, iiE co-founder<\/span><\/cite><\/footer><\/blockquote><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At the Gathering \u201cwe want to break down institutional and professional barriers \u2013 in other words, get people together who have a lot of common goals but ordinarily wouldn\u2019t have a chance to meet, have them get to know each other a bit, and plan out how to work together,\u201d said Pagan Poggione, who co-founded the iiE together with UM-Flint associate professor Jeff Kupperman.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poggione, who lives in British Columbia, collaborates remotely with Kupperman and others to plan Gatherings and carry out other iiE initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The iiE\u2019s goal is to help cultivate creativity and engaging learning experiences in all kinds of settings, including higher education, P-12 schools, informal learning environments, and the private sector. They do so through tools like the Design Mindset CARDS, through public events like this past June\u2019s Gathering, through workshops and activities for organizations of all types, and through design of innovative technologies, programs, and activities. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This June\u2019s Gathering was the sixth held in Michigan; previous iiE Gatherings have been held in Geneva, Switzerland; Durban, South Africa; Prague, Czech Republic; Vancouver Island, Canada, and the Florida Keys.
