Innovation Project

Core Competency: Creative Thinking Skill

I almost always try different ways of doing things because if one way did not work i would continue to try something new. Sometimes trying a new way works and other times it does not and i may get pretty frustrated because i have no idea why it is not working. For an example, for this innovation project we had to show a circuit and my group and i wanted to circuit to be how we had drawn it but it was not working and we did not know what the problem was. We finally got it to work the next day, but i could tell that my group and i all needed a break for it and come back fresh minded. I also developed criteria for evaluating design options, when my group and i figured out what we wanted to do for the project we stepped back and went through all the criteria to see if what we were thinking was going to work with the criteria that was given. I am still developing monitoring my progress and adjust my actions accordingly because i just did what i needed to do and did not really look back while i was doing it and seeing if my group and i still understand were we are taking this project. Making choices that helped me create my intended impact on the audience or situation was all good. My group and i really tried to communicate and make it a group decision about how we could make our innovation even better.

Collaboration Reflection

I feel like my group and i really understand each others strengths and struggles, so it was really easy for our group collaborate together on this project. We all had some what of the same idea and we would encourage each other to share more ideas we each other had openly. At the beginning of this project we toke what was needed to do and split it up in to smaller sections that each of us were responsible for, that way we got it done quicker. Later on during this project we worked together more, using the class time we had to do majority of the work that was needed to be done. 

Experience Debrief

I liked how much freedom that we got for the project. It was difficult for me to have three different minds coming together and working in one single project, because what i got in my head about the innovation is probably a lot different then the other members in my group. What i would do differently would be to step back more and look what i have done at the end of everyday that we worked on this and see if there was anything that we did not like or that we had to change to improve it even more. I have learned to put as many idea done on the table as possible and my ideas may be used but may not as well which is okay. I have also learned now to take a step back and look at what we have done. 

Over all i am glad i got to do this project and i am grateful for two amazing partners that really wanted to make this innovation project as good as we could make it.
