In the beginning I had many different ideas about what kind of project I wanted to do. However, I decided on the topic of City traffic because I think I can get the most information on this topic and because I am personally very interested in the topic.
Unfortunately, I could not work with another team. It would have been very interesting to see how other countries deal with this problem.
But I think that even without another country comparison, the project is certainly very interesting.
At the beginning, I had a bit of trouble finding my way around the different programmes and systems, but after a short period of getting used to them, it went very well.
I found it a very good opportunity to do such a project. It was a good way to concentrate on a topic and work on it the way you want to. I learned a lot of new things about project organisation, web presence and working with experts.
In the end, I am very satisfied with the final result.
Recently, we were even lucky enough to receive the great opertunity to interview Mr. Schumacher who is the managing director of Polyloft. Polyloft is a company based here in Switzerland which develops and builds Tiny Houses.
With this interview we got to know some new aspects and perspectives about the possible applications of Tiny Houses.
Below is our interview with Mr. Schumacher:

«befter» project - before & after the experience
The goal
Creating a teams’ experience for building a relationship to the «real world» and in collaboration between teams across the world. The final goal is a publication of the experience on the project website www.dontwastemy.energy as a gift for the world!
The reason why
Through a self-made experience students can reach a deeper learning, activate their previous knowledge and acquire new knowledge. In addition, students can get confidence in their abilities and improve their social and media competencies.
The 7 steps (light towers or milestones)
There are several steps to go through: Your own imagination, online research and team discussion, performing the experience, self-reflection compared to step 1 and 2, finally publishing on dontwastemy.energy and propagation on social media and asking for feedback & comments.
