Group 5

J10: Our team as a whole was very productive and time efficient. We all took time out of our busy weeks and met up to make our final product. I think everyone did a great job contributing to the project and if changes were needed then people were willing to make our product stronger. Everyone did their sketches, research, and contribution to the project. I think I have always contributed fairly well and was always fair to my group. I always asked for their input and how they would go at the situation. I made sure I did my part of the research and helped with the critical thinking of how our product should be successful. Overall feelings about the project, it was a fun experience! However, I thought our product wasn't too unique however it would be nice to have something like that come straight out of your refrigerator where it already comes cold when you do go to the living room, patio, outdoor events, etc. I really like the design thinking way of how to make things and what factors to consider when making a product.

  • Reflects on the state of the project as a whole. What has your team been working on? What decisions have been made? What directions have you been heading in? How has the team been working, both organizationally and personally? Etc... -- We've been working on the final products and the dimensions of our portable refrigerator. We've been getting together out of class hours and making sure that everyone's on the same page with the product.
  • Reflects on your personal contributions to the project thus far. What roles have you been fulfilling? What have you brought to the table/conversation? What do you feel you have been doing well? What more could you be doing to facilitate the forward progress of the project? General feelings on the project? Etc... -- I have been fulfilling the role of trying to get everyone organized, making sure that everyone is doing their work, and getting everyone's contribution to the project. I think I have been doing well with listening to people's ideas, contributing to my part of the project, and making sure we're all organized for our presentation.
  • Documents the work being done on the project. Do you have scans of sketches you have done? Photographs of work happening? Notes, minutes, outlines, mind-maps, drafts, ideations, images, time-lines, goals, or any other evidence of the project's progress thus far? Etc...-- Yes, we are going to email all the sketches to my email as well as Kara's. So we can start on the presentation slides and have two people work on each topic such as: final product, kiosk, packaging, and the client/user.
