HE-10005 - Adapt Like A Bug - Part 2

NOTES:

Case Study Details

• Ava decided to create this series of Challenges (Part 1 + Part 2) because she was really struggling with the volume level of some of the other learners in the Studio.
  

• Upon further reflection, using the What's Bugging Me Decision Map, her hypothesis was that it really was just the volume of their voices that was bothering her - not necessarily what they were doing (in other words, other than being unkind/inconsiderate, they weren't breaking Safety Guardrails or intentionally violating the Studio Contract).  The Decision Map recommendation was to Let It Go.
  

• She also suspected that 80% of the problem was happening during Free Time in the morning, before Morning Launch.  Which is different than Learners not controlling their excitement (and volume) during Flow Zone, or Quest, or Quiet Time.
  

• Learners were tackling an Entomology Adventure for Quest that Session, so she decided she was willing to try to "adapt like an ant" and see if it helped.
  

• Her first step was going an experiment to verify WHEN the noise was actually occurring and bothering her the most. (Part 1)

• After that, she would try discreetly using noise-cancelling headphones or ear plugs during that time to see if it helps improve her experience in the Studio. (Part 2)
  

• Here's Ava's original sketch! So.  Cool.
