#Team tower
Build a tower_build a team
—— Tom Wujec (TED TALK)
Unfortunately, we lost this challenge and the most embarrassing thing is that I’ve studied architecture more than 5years. This might be the key reason why we lost.
We made a plan even draft sketching. Similarly, we consumed a plenty of times cause it. Unlikely, the others made the tower straight away and negotiate at same time.
In adults society, majority people want to be in charge in community. Sometimes, it is easily forget the aim in the project and processing. In addition, the thinking way of adults are more complicated and overthinking. However, children are slightly influenced by this factors. They are always thinking straight away to get results.
#The Egg Event
“How many distances can we catch the egg?” _ Question
I’ve thinking that the reason why we were throwing the egg and catch it. Firstly, it is obvious that the relationship between people means team work. The action of throwing and catching, i think that it’s like a conversation between them. The success could count on one person which need communication and negotiation.
Moreover, from this action, ‘throwing’ person should concentrate on another person by using acceptable method to throw egg. On the other hand, the ‘catching’ person should get ready before throwing by using two hands to hold egg to protect it.
Brian brought up some deeply meaning more than appearance. It is kind like the same way when we do research. People could only guess before they get the ‘information’. Then they could feel something when catch it. Finally, they could see more clearly when it explore.
#Question challenge
I think that asking questions need a appropriate technique if we want to get some helpful information. Sometimes, it will be strange if people ask something directly without making the stories. There’s two results we would get if we use this way. First one is fake information, people will answer what would makes u feel good or what u are looking for. Last one is that u will get nothing cause people feel weird and vigilant.
