Literary Arts Community Panel Feedback

I was anxious as my group got ready to present to the community panel. Our idea, of little mailboxes encouraging strangers to write letters to each other, was something that our team had worked tirelessly on for weeks. None of us knew what to expect from the community panel, fueling nerves in all of us.

That being said, however, as soon as we started presenting, I felt the fear wash away. We had worked hard on our design and our prototypes and now we had the opportunity to show our work. Plus, the panel provided great feedback and encouraged us to take our work even further. It made us rethink our use of prompts for the letter-writing and to see how we could make an online element central to our experiment.

The future of our experiments is precarious at the moment, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I am proud of my team for what we have created. I am also glad for the opportunity to share it with, at least a segment of, the community.
