Major Roadblocks


Let’s Play A Game!


Paper Airplanes


Round 1 - Rules

• 10 minutes

• Work by yourself

• Donʼt look at what other people are doing

• Write your name on your plane


Round 2 - Rules

• 15 minutes

• Work in groups of four

• Come up with a team name

• Decide on a team leader

• Write your team name on your plane


Observations - Single

• Hard to remember the process - hadnʼt made one for a long time

• Best one I knew how

• Easier to get the result - “god of my own world”

• Wrote name first before creating the plane

• Tendancy to look at others


Observations - Team

• We used the best out of 4 idea - whoever had the most sucess

• Reached the best name name - iterated 4 times

• Lost valuable time finding the 4th member

• As a group, we didnʼt look at the past

• More pressure to deliver the best result - tried harder

• 2 designs, and tested both


Observations - General
