My group failed at making an effective egg protector, as I would say everyone else in the class did also. One of the groups outsmarted the rest of us and succeeded at protecting the egg but I cannot say that they were successful at making an egg protector, because it wasn’t that. We definitely did not have a clear plan on how to make the egg. We knew where we were going in the beginning; everyone had great input on what would work. However, we didn’t really take time into consideration and so we didn’t really leave ourselves any time to make the egg protector. Step 2 was there was skipped, however, we did make many alternate blueprints of protectors, but rejected each because there was some fault in each. Along with time, we didn’t realize that everyone besides one person was a guy in the group and with big fingers, none of us could really make something so small very fast, and so our protector wasn’t really finished when time was up. I would say my group did a very poor job with this assignment but we learned a lot and next time we would definitely pay more attention to our resources. I think if we had used our time more wisely, we could have made a more effective protector.

i dont think that given only straws and tape, we could actually make an egg protector cage. the fall is still too fast, along with the weight it will still crack. i think the point was to find a way to do it outside the box, like the successful group.
ReplyDeleteThat's sad because guys fingers are too big to make this small tiny thing. Maybe this is a main reason your group failed if the plan process itself is very well. The other thing i want to comment is that time planning is very important in this experiment which should be extremely focus on.
