1.I went to my classroom 2 times and the kids were not there. We still received the news that our game was a success but we never got to talk to the children.
This is a picture of our finished game.
2.Our goal was to make it fun, be creative and create a 'not really hard' game for elementary school students. We think that our goals were met as our final product worked out perfectly. We also think that the kids enjoyed it.
3. -Our biggest problem was probably time.Building the entire model in 80 minutes was not that easy. Our solution was to focus and work together. We also built some parts of the game before we came such as the hook.
-Our biggest idea came after the research phase as we realized we had to do something creative and fun. We all remembered the claw game form our childhood and thought that it would succeed. Apparently we were right. One of are key parts of our game was the hook and realizing we could use a cloth hanger was a success We got this idea when we were thinking on the materials, especially the materials of the hook.
-I was probably the one who resisted more ideas. Nicolas can have a great imagination and he can often go out of bounds on what we can really do. He want it to make two games and make them electric and those weren't possible in the amount of time and materials we had.
-I thought that the project would be really hard and it would not work. The only way I could solve my doubts was going for it and experimenting. I was surprised when everything worked up perfectly.
-I was always questioning the how on every part of our project. Nicolas would repeat that it would be easy but I was never sure. I think that I contributed to the group by keeping it organized and concrete Everything we did was planned and we were not just improvising.
-After this project, I learned that I am capable of doing everything I want, even if it looks hard. I went over my expectations. Regarding teamwork, I learned that even if everyone has different ideas, there is always a way to put them together so everyone is happy. I also learned that not every team mate is perfect and sometimes, you just have to learn how to work together. The design process was really useful. It allowed us to have a complete plan on what we should do. i think that without all this planing, our product wouldn't have been a success. I will probably use this process again in the future.
