Science of Survival: My Side of the Island (Students)
Jim
hired a ship captain to maroon him on a wild island off the coast of
Canada. To survive, he had the barest necessities and his wits. Friends
suggested the latter were in short supply. The island he chose was not
some tropical paradise. The Canadian Coast Guard warned him that
conditions could be extreme. Without food, tent, sleeping bag, or
toilet paper, he had to survive. And he was in for some unexpected
surprises.
Comments
I
had 100% positive feedback from your talk, and LOTS of people saying
they were sorry they missed it after hearing all the "buzz" from the
IDEO people who were there. My Side of the Island
was entertaining, informative, delivered a message, and made us laugh.
I like how Jim mixed in the importance of creative thinking when faced
with the serious survival conditions of being marooned on a deserted
island. Tom Kelley, General Manager, IDEO
