After completing our Moonshot proposal, we were buddied with another member of the MIT 2020 team. I was partnered with Angela, whose subject area is Maths (and for those who know me well, they know that this is one of my challenge areas!).
Our challenge involved asking five 'why' questions. This was actually a much harder process than it first appeared, especially when asking about someone else's challenge, in a subject area we were maybe not familiar with. On the flip side, this also enabled us the opportunity to dig that little bit deeper in to our own identified achievement challenge areas, seeing our challenge through the lens of someone else. It made me question my proposal, as well as really think about the 'why' it is such a challenge for students, and background reasons for this.
