"I learned to work as a team. Being a captain taught me to listen, to motivate, gain confidence to delegate tasks so that with my help or without my help my team should always shine!"

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

We wanted to give students a different, exciting, and fun online and offline learning experience, especially since online learning has become the norm with the pandemic. We adopted the game show format that we had originally created for the MIP Cancun Formats Pitch 2020 and transformed it into an online class format https://www.mipcancun.com/en-gb/program/entertainment-pitch-formats.html

What does your innovation look like in practice?

This Challenge Experience is designed to help students discover and develop their talents in the arts, music, dance, sports ... experiential work, self-confidence, creativity, communication, and empathy. This format allows, in turn, to develop self-management, decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills with a special emphasis on the ability to collaboratively identify who they are and who their colleagues are and how together they can work as a team to give respond in the most creative way to each challenge to create, produce and publish the winning video for the T&T CHALLENGES In each "Class" (episode) our mentors will evaluate the work of our participants based on the quality of the video, creativity, collaboration, and communication. For each challenge 1 week to create and produce the videos and the 2nd week to post this video on Flipgrid a platform (closed and private to students in the class), engage and get the most comments, views, and likes.

How has it been spreading?

We started this pilot with 7th graders that were divided into 8 teams of 12-13 students. In 10 weeks and with 95 students, we received 301 videos created by the students and uploaded to the Flipgrid platform, 9.650 views, 85.9 hours of engagement, 885 comments on the videos. The digital tools integrate easily with Flipgrid, Google classroom, Google meet, padlet, and each student uses their phone or camera to record the videos
We are ready to open this Challenge Experience to the world

Trix and Trax Challenge Videos

Implementation steps

Create Teams

Divide your class into a group of 4-5 students. Each group chooses its Team Name, Team Captain, and Class Presenter.

The Challenge of the week

The teacher hit thechallenge randomizer to discover the challenge topic and video duration.

Each week The Challenge randomizer determines the challenge to pursue and the duration of the video that addresses the challenge.

Each group gets divided into 2 sub-teams: Team Trix and Team Trax. The Captain in collaboration with all team members, depending on the topic or the nature of the challenge, decides the students who will star as "The Talents" on each video and the role of all other team members. They will all have to work together in collaboration, in developing the idea, constructing a compelling storytelling and making the production of the video for weekly challenge.

Each team must create and produce 2 videos for each Challenge (Team Trix 1 video and Team Trax 1 video) in the maximum time established (15 ', 30', 60 ')

- ALL team members must participate in each CHALLENGE alone 6 as TALENT

Create & produce Video

Each group gets divided into 2 sub-teams: Team Trix and Team Trax. The Captain in collaboration with all team members, depending on the topic or the nature of the challenge, decides the students who will star as "The Talents" on each video and the role of all other team members. They will all have to work together in collaboration, in developing the idea, constructing compelling storytelling, and making the production of the video for the weekly challenge.

Upload Your Video

At the end of the week, the Captain of each team uploads their teams videos prior to the deadline of submission on a pre-set platform set up on Flipgrid (see example here)

Apart from the challenge videos, talents are encouraged to upload more content documenting the behind the scenes of videos, and The Captains upload their behind the scene videos of their week experience as a Captain, also team's partners (anyone who provided help) can upload their behind the scenes and experience collaborating in the making of the week challenge video.

Learn from peers and Engage

After they're published, videos in the “The Trix and Trax Challenge Video Performances” topic under the Experience GROUP on Flipgrid get activated and open to all students to learn from each other and receive positive comments from their peers. Students get to learn different approaches used to tackle the same challenge and enjoy the opportunity to get to know their peers' talents while also honing on their own skills as content creators. Is the opportunity to engage with your peers and get comments, likes and views

Reviews and results "episode" Online class

During the “episode class,” the students run the class following a guideline set by teachers. "The presenters" (students) follow a presenter guide that begins describing the week's challenge, interviewing the Captain to bring to light the team strategies to understand the process implemented to get the team's video published. Then, the video is screened and talents are interviewed to discuss how they felt about the experience. For each challenge the teams can accumulate up to 20 points if they obtain the maximum performance. The Mentors (Teachers) and Students evaluate their performance using this criteria:

Collaboration 5pts (Extraordinary - Standard - Need to work on it)

Creativity, Storytelling 5pts (Extraordinary - Standard - Need to work on it)

Communication among the team members 5pts (Extraordinary - Standard - Need to work on it)

Quality of the video Content 5pts (Extraordinary - Standard - Need to work on it)

Example of a Online Class "episode" Here

The Bonus points Wheel of Fortune!

Each Challenge week, the 5 videos that got the most comments likes and views get to go to the wheel of fortune to get 5 extra bonus points the lucky winner get to sum to their evaluation the Bonus points

And we reveal the next challenge of the week and start from step 1 and follow the same process for each challenge

Students Learnings

Watch learnings from studentsTeam DG2

“Surpassing ourselves as a group was one of the most difficult things about this experience. Our goal was to see the evolution in the execution of each challenge… we had to do better each time, if one time it was good the other one should be perfect and the next one excellent and so on … although it was complicated I believed that we succeeded”

Andres Prada

“I learned to work as a team. Being a captain taught me to listen, to motivate, it taught me that with my help or without my help all my team should shine and that a group is a whole!”

Juan Moros

“I learned that peers ideas can be very different regardless of whether it is the same topic”

Camila Rodriguez

“I learned to adapt to the situation. If they tell you 15 sec it is 15 sec at the end your idea must be adapted to that time”

Andres P

“I learned to have confidence in myself, I learned from my friends and their talents because I saw them in the videos, I learned that you should not hide your talents because a person tells you that you are not good, you should not stop doing what you like because of the opinion of another person”
