Today was the first day of classes at QUT and locating the lecture room at E block was something else . Richard, the lecturer seemed like a fun guy so were other members of his Team. Although i had read the prescribed book for the unit till chapter 5 not much featured today.
Marshmallow challenge!
We attended a workshop right after the Design thinking lecture and unintentionally a 'dream team' was born as i was seating at a desk with Ronja, Ali, Ata and Andre whom i'd previously met and was friends with. Now we are all stuck with each other for the rest of the semester for unit. We were given a marshmallow, some string, paper tape and some spaghetti sticks and each team at the workshop was challenged to build to tallest free standing structure....We tried our best but were were runners up by fractions of a centimeter. We worked quite well and effectively as a team, if we had however listened more carefully to Ronja who suggested we use a piece of string to hold the structure down on the table in order to counter balance the weight, we would have been able to go further up.
App Challenge!
We also have to come up with ideas for a new app before the next workshop. For now, the idea i have is to come up with a social media/ networking app for QUT students. I think Ali has the same idea but we'll see when we meet tomorrow to decide which ideas will go through
