15. What participants said:ConfidenceWithout the event to encourage me, I doubt I would have come to visit the museum, and that would have been such a shame. Thank you for organising!MotivationThank you and everyone that made it happen. Getting to meet you all and getting to share a bit of the OU experience with my peers was wonderful and highly motivating. Meeting the module/design innovation team 'for real' was marvellous. Talking with other OU students inspired me. I feel motivated after this group event. Will attend in future. Thank you too.Informality and networkingInteresting event, but I found the talk a little long. It was interesting, but I found it a pity that I didn’t get to see more of the museum.Annotated form: 'Massively agree' to 'opportunity to network with others’Beyond studentsI found event on Eventbrite. Hope the plastic fantastic will be a driving force for OU, and gain traction with students, and public (eventually)
