Next Lives Here

After attending the next lives here project, I was inspired by all of the creativity abound. Personally, I am working on a project that involves innovation and was stuck and unsure what to do. Seeing the projects pushed me to begin working on my project again. I also appreciated the fast paced format, since forced the presenters to be direct with their ideas, preventing confusion that is common with overly detailed presentations. However, I thought that the question time could be longer, since feedback is often the best source of ways to improve. I did appreciate how direct the panel was addressing concerns and truly showing how knowledgeable each team was with their idea. One area that I especially found usefully was how important a good presentation is to the success of a project.  When groups presented with less passion and enthusiasm, or were less polished, I found myself less impressed, even if the idea was strong. Overall, Next Lives Here was a great experience, inspiring and teaching me how to innovate and work towards the future.
