Topic: Creating a Storytelling About Scientific and Technical Innovations
Concept: Storytelling is the art of sharing a sequence of events or a tale in a way that
captures the attention of the audience. It's like telling a story to friends or family, where you
use words, emotions, and imagination to create a vivid picture in their minds. Storytelling can
be about real experiences or imaginary adventures. It often has characters, a setting, a
problem or challenge, and a resolution.

Example of introduction:
The telescope (1608) – In 1608, Hans Lippershey created a convex lens and concave
eyepiece that enabled the creation of the telescope. The next year, Galileo Galilei built on
these early designs to create a much more powerful telescope that enabled us to understand
our place in the universe.
Step 2: Assign each group a different stage of the innovation's development (e.g.,
