We also discovered another way we could relieve the tutors' struggle with time and resources: grouping students by subject rather than grade. We found this through a co-creative exercise that allowed us to play with the arrangement of program rooms. This solution offered multiple benefits: older students could confirm their abilities through the practice of teaching, prodded to help through the new incentives program; the tutor could teach to a group of students studying similar subjects much like a classroom, meeting individually with students only when necessary; and the physical set up of this grouping method actually left more space at the each of the locations, freeing up room for more students should the program need to grow.

We formatted our final meeting as if we were all students at one of the Savannah ASP locations. We began "class" with some light stretching and body movement to clear our minds.

Our fourth and final workshop, Co-Creative Implementation, was an opportunity for us to finalize a few of our solutions with the Savannah ASP staff and discuss steps for implementing these solutions. By this point, we were all very comfortable with each other. One of the side affects of this was that some members of the group would often put down each other's ideas. To help avoid excessively negative feedback, we used the group's idea for an incentives chart to track positive contribution.

We did a NUF Test to judge the newness, usefulness, and feasibility of our ideas.

Our third workshop, Co-Creative Reflection, allowed us to propose a refined list of solutions and discuss each solution's feasibility and financial viability using a NUF test. This gave us a list of realistic, prioritized solutions to take into our next workshop.

We had sensed some apprehension between the administration and tutors during our first session, and wanted all participants to feel they could be as forward as the wanted during these workshops. So we decided to split the group into two teams: one for the administration, another for the tutors. This would allow each participant to comfortably discuss any areas of interest in our research and brainstorm tentative solutions. After regrouping, we discussed each team's ideas and expanded on those they found most interesting.
