Part 1: Problem Identification (30 minutes)

Group Brainstorming (10 minutes): Begin with an open brainstorming session. Each group member should share the problems they encounter at school, without any filters. Remember, there are no wrong ideas at this stage, the goal is to generate as many sparks as possible.

Discussion and Selection of Problems (10 minutes): Once everyone has shared their problems, discuss each problem, trying to figure out which one is the most urgent, widespread, or the one that, if solved, would have the greatest impact on school life.

Problem Definition (5 minutes): Now that you've selected a problem, spend some time defining it as clearly as possible. Really try to understand the nature of the problem: who encounters it? When and where does it occur? What are its consequences?

Empathy and Understanding (5 minutes): Finally, try to put yourself in the shoes of those who encounter the problem. This will help better understand the problem and think about possible solutions. If possible, speak with people who are facing the problem to better understand their experience.

Remember: The goal of this stage is to identify a real problem and understand it thoroughly. This understanding will be the basis for the next stage of the exercise, defining the minimum viable product.

Part 2: Definition of the Minimum Viable Product (45 minutes)

Introduction to the Concept of MVP (10 minutes): In this stage, students will learn what a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) means and how it is essential in the Lean Startup process. An MVP is the simplest version of a product that can be released to get customer feedback and start the learning process.

Group Discussion and Brainstorming (15 minutes): Students in each group will kick-start a brainstorming session to think of ideas for their MVP. During this period, students should be encouraged to think freely and contribute ideas without restrictions. All ideas should be recorded for later review and discussion.

Selection of MVP (10 minutes): Once brainstorming is complete, students will revisit their ideas and choose the one they believe is the most effective MVP for the problem they have identified. During this phase, students should discuss and evaluate ideas based on their feasibility, potential impact on the problem, and anticipated response from users or customers.

Designing the MVP (10 minutes): After selecting their MVP idea, students will move on to the designing phase. In this stage, they will need to draw or write a detailed description of their MVP, including the key components of the product or service, how it will function, and how it intends to solve the identified problem.

By the end of this part of the exercise, each group will have a defined MVP that is ready to be presented and discussed with the rest of the class in the next stage of the exercise.

Part 3: Feedback and Learning (45 minutes)

MVP Presentation (20 minutes): Each group will have the opportunity to present their MVP to the class. During the presentation, the group will need to explain what problem they're trying to solve and how their MVP addresses this problem.

Feedback Phase (15 minutes): After each presentation, the rest of the class will have the chance to provide feedback on the presented MVP. Students can ask questions, give suggestions or make considerations about the presented product or service. The goal is to simulate real customer feedback, which is a key element of the Lean Startup methodology.

Feedback Discussion and Reflection (10 minutes): Once every group has presented their MVP and received feedback, each group will have some time to discuss and reflect on the feedback they received. This is the chance for each group to understand how the feedback can be used to improve their product or service.

By the end of this part of the exercise, each group will have received valuable feedback on their MVP and will have had the opportunity to reflect on how this feedback might influence the future development of their product or service.

Part 4: Pivot or Persevere (30 minutes)

Reflection on Feedback and Decision Making (15 minutes): Each group, having analyzed the feedback they received, will need to decide whether to "pivot," altering their product or service based on feedback, or "persevere," continuing with the current version of the product or service. This decision should be made considering the feedback received and the original aim of the product or service.

Preparation for the Presentation (10 minutes): After making a decision, each group will prepare a short presentation in which they explain their decision. The presentation should include the reasons that led them to decide to pivot or persevere and how they intend to proceed with the development of the product or service.

Presentation of the Decision (5 minutes): Each group will present their decision to the class, sharing their thought process and future steps.

By the end of this part of the exercise, each group will have had hands-on experience making crucial decisions based on feedback received, a fundamental aspect of the Lean Startup methodology.
