A teacher or a team identifies a specific friction point. Example: "Students are disengaged during math reviews." Instead of writing a report, they write a one-sentence hypothesis: "If we replace the review worksheet with a physical escape room game, then focus will increase."
Whether you are in Oslo, Bergen, or Tromsø, ask your team tomorrow: "What is one problem we could build a rough prototype for by Friday?" prototyp skedsmo
Originating from the Skedsmo municipality (now part of Lillestrøm), this isn't a specific app or a textbook. It is a for change. It borrows the rapid prototyping principles from the tech startup world and applies them to the messy, human reality of the classroom. A teacher or a team identifies a specific friction point

This is the radical part. They don't wait for principal approval or budget allocation. They build a "shoddy" but functional prototype in 24 hours. In Skedsmo, it is acceptable—even encouraged—for the prototype to look rough around the edges. It just has to be functional enough to gather data.
That is the Skedsmo way. Have you tried a rapid prototyping approach in your classroom? Share your "intelligent failures" in the comments below!
