1/ The basic structure/notation is a group (red) that meets and collaborates over a period of time (blue) to create an artifact (yellow)
An artifact here is "a token of what you have learnt, but also a trail for those who follow in your footsteps" (see: https://twitter.com/azlenelza/status/1269696513527046145)

2/ Friendly Competition
Having different classes/learning groups, focused around the same topic but running concurrently as to create friendly competition
Exchange notes + feedback, but also motivation for your projects/work to slightly outdo those of other groups

3/ Symbiotic Learning Group
Say you have two classes, one is learning UX/interaction design, and the other is learning coding. They could be intertwined to collaborate on building an artifact together—with the coders actually implementing designs coming out of the UX group

4/ Hackathon
While it looks very different than a classroom setting, hackathons are actually incredible learning experiences.
It reframes making/learning as a competition under tight constraints which anyone can participate in.

5/ Nested Learning Groups
Imagine a longer research project with a core group of participants from which spawns shorter-term subgroups researching specific directions or tasks associated the larger overall research.
