words only definitions & notes
  1. marshmallow
    spongy confection made of gelatin and sugar
    Close Several years ago here at TED, Peter Skillman introduced a design challenge called the marshmallow challenge.
  2. facilitation
    act of assisting the progress or improvement of something
    Because they have special skills of facilitation.
  3. iterative
    marked by repetition
    Designers recognize this type of collaboration as the essence of the iterative process.
  4. orienting
    positioning with respect to a reference system or determining your bearings physically or intellectually
    So, normally, most people begin by orienting themselves to the task.
  5. prototype
    a standard or typical example
    What kindergarteners do differently is that they start with the marshmallow, and they build prototypes, successive prototypes, always keeping the marshmallow on top, so they have multiple times to fix when they build prototypes along the way.
  6. step-by-step
    one thing at a time
    There's step-by-step instructions on this.
  7. collaborate
    work together on a common enterprise or project
    And, though it seems really simple, it's actually pretty hard because it forces people to collaborate very quickly.
  8. jockey
    someone employed to ride horses in horse races
    They talk about it, they figure out what it's going to look like, they jockey for power.
  9. gingerly
    in a manner marked by extreme care or delicacy
    And then finally, just as they're running out of time, someone takes out the marshmallow, and then they gingerly put it on top, and then they stand back, and -- ta-da! -- they admire their work.
