Morning Tea

• Teams aim to settle on a project and plan of action
• Begin work on identified groups: Explore how their “problems”, backgrounds, beliefs, or goals might shape their online search behaviours and the platforms they use. Using multiple methods – like mining online forums (e.g. Reddit), interviews, or other creative approaches – teams to generate contextualised search queries.
