Step 2 - Team building: contact, meet, discuss your goals and how to achieve. Who is responsible for what? Shall the team members also get a login on The Horse? Collaboration skills belong to the future skills!

Step 3 – Experience on site !
Perform your experience (research project related to your research question). For example the team could visit a company and do an interview on site! There are different ways to perform something new: For example designing an experiment, doing an interview or survey, asking questions to an experienced person or scientist which explains and shows you exactly how it works. (No ideas? There is a toolbox on «The horse»)

* Result: A collection of impressions & insights, media (video, audio, images, text, etc.) and maybe new evolving questions.
