Design project day 5

The students weren't at the classroom when we went and they wouldn't come back until later.

Our biggest problem was finding a ball as one of the members left the ball at home. Also choosing the height was hard as maybe the ball wouldn't roll. We solved it by changing ball into a seed and choosing the correct height.

I think our big successful Ah HA! moment was when we placed the obstacles correctly so you could only access the wining area in two ways. We got this while making the game. 

Gregory Goldemberg resisted most new Ideas cause he had a very clear perception of the game and what he wanted it to be, however he was satisfied with the result. He had great ideas and we implanted most of them. 

When our first tape ball had an epic fail and didn't roll I started to get my doubts and it was like 5 minutes before the project was due. Thankfully Juan Francisco had the magic idea of finding a seed that worked perfectly. 

Juan Francisco played the devils advocate as he didn't think many of the ideas by me and Greg where going to work. Some of them did.

I learned that I am great at doing projects and that sometimes I might be too pushy but its just cause I want to get the project done. I also learned that team mates and working together has the best result and when that doesn't work you should always strive to reunite the group. 

About design process I learnt that it has to be filled with steps and that just thinking of something is the first step for doing something.

It was a pretty cool project.
