Chīmu: Improving Team Dynamics to Make Projects Efficient, Collaborative, and Fun
Students who work in team projects often experience issues such as poor communication and a lack of accountability. Chīmu aims to reduce negative team experiences by emphasizing communication, responsibility, and feedback. The goal is to start a conversation by providing awareness that issues are occurring. Chīmu does this through critical features that allow teams to understand each other and build trust, set clear expectations, and encourage reflection for building continuous improvements. Chīmu strives to facilitate teamwork that creates a safe environment for students and promotes working through issues in a constructive manner.
