How do I use Thought Experiment Roulette?
- For preparation, draft ten scenarios. Feel free to use one of these three options for automatic generation:
In the session
- Divide into teams of 2-4 persons and let each team spin the wheel for example via SpinTheWheel.io.
- All teams get 10 minutes to think about the scenarios.
- Each team presents their scenario in 90 seconds to the whole group.
- You may let the group decide about the most creative idea e. g. via Mentimeter
Alternatives & tips:
- Tip: Start with an (extreme) example, e. g. imagine there is no gravitation.
- Tip: You might want to have some comments after each scenario pitch. Tip: In Mentimeter you can allow written comments.
