We had a class activity on egg planning to learn planning process. In our class, no group’s win this planning. But I think our group was doing pretty well to protector the egg. First of all, we defining what had to be done. And we came up different ideas to protector egg, than will prevent the egg from cracking. Very group’s had 8 straws and 2 feet of paper tape. Since we had limit materials, so we need to very careful to use it. The main point was to reduce the distance from the egg to the floor, let the egg won’t break.
Secondly, we draw the picture step by step to build up the protection of egg. And design where should have more protection of the egg. So, that could help us to save time because we had only 10 minute to make it. We finished on time but the thing didn’t look nice, and we might miss some point of the planning process that made us could meet the goal.
Finally, I think my group did not spend too time to develop alternative strategies, and we agree with the strategy to have the shortest person to drop the egg. But in the end, we still have the higher person to drop the egg. I think we were weak spent too much time on the design, therefore, we couldn’t process other steps.
I believe that the egg planning was very good activity for us. That could help us to work and share our ideas together. It will let us get experience and do well in the future.
We ended up with a bad looking model too. We didn't intend for it to actually look the way it turned out to look like. Our original design did not offer enough protection. We did not spend much time on developing alternative strategies either. We thought up of some but we really like the first design so we struck down the other designs quite quickly after each were generated.
