As for our project with Martin Middle School we have hit yet another setback. When we delivered the project and the materials to the group, it ends up the cameras did not work. In class we did not want to mess with the disposable cameras so we did not test them, but apparently the wheel that you turn just kept spinning.
Thus, our next roadblock has us at a stump as to what to do next with our project and for gathering another idea for the university service day. Once we are able to discuss as a group in class the next step to take our brainstorming for the project day will be easier as well.
Besides the road bump, Greta said that the kids who committed to the project seemed excited about it and that is refreshing to hear. Once we get all the kinks worked out I am sure the project will turn out great, especially since we have gathered kids that are interested in what we are proposing.
Also, this is not directly related to our project or to the project day, but I watched this video on what is the invisible bike helmet, and I think the theme of the article and video is to think creatively to move forward. I think this mindset works for both our project and project day. If we can think outside of the box, and think past what we are told we are capable of, we will be able to think of something extraordinary.

How did you guys work out the camera issue? It's always encouraging to hear that the people you are working with are willing and thrilled to work with you. I'm glad that was the case for you guys!
ReplyDeleteOh, I also saw the article and promo video for the invisible bike helmet from Facebook! It is definitely a great example of being creative and thinking "wrong" as we have learned from the video we watched in class. I think it is a huge pity that the helmet is a one-time use though. That is the product's biggest flaw.
