The first few weeks of capstone have been interesting. We’ve done a lot of brainstorming exercises. We reviewed other student’s blogs from last year and used the Osborn checklist to make our first presentation. Today we read through two articles about risk taking and what employers look for in employees. Risk taking improves confidence, along with other helpful outcomes. Employers like to hire people who are confident, proactive and good with people. My partner Charlie and I are ahead of the game because we already have a general idea as to what we are doing. We plan to renovate the old enclosure in the animal lab and make it into a multi-species enclosure. In fact, we have already began cleaning it out some. During the Osborn checklist project, we used this enclosure to brainstorm and came up with some interesting ideas. Together, we thought of a way to add extra floors into the enclosure for more arboreal species. This was a very useful experience, to come up with more details in our project. I look forward to continuing this class. http://userscontent2.emaze.com/images/e81491a4-2979-4bc0-95c4-7718162b2419/635309727659671186_W-Question_Osborne.gif Tags: #problem solving #collaboration #creativity

Even before going into capstone my partner,Connor O’Clair, and I had an idea about our project. Over the last two weeks we have been preparing for the rest of capstone. We have done brainstorming, presenting, and reviewing blogs done by past students. We started out with a simple project about using the Osborn checklist and an everyday item. That had evolved into testing our presentations skills and seeing how we can improve. We did this by taking the ideas that were produced from the Osborn checklist and made sketches to show how these products would look. After that we presented our products to the class and walked through our thinking about how we improved each product. A few days ago we had reviewed past blogs to get a sense of how to each post will be should be written and how it will be graded. Today we were reviewing what future employers will look for in you and why taking risks will be more beneficial than harmful. According to the article taking risks show confidence. Taking risks also allows you to learn from your mistakes. Tags:#Problem Solving #Creativity #Collaboration #Communication https://www.slideshare.net/ghaiath/generating-solutions-and-brainstorming |
