Hi all! Nice to see you again! Here comes the quarter walkaround and Flint is ready for that!

On Monday the team had the advisor meeting and did our quarter presentation as a rehearsal. Jess kindly brought her friend to come listening to our presentation and gave as great feedback, thank you! The quarter went smooth and we received useful feedback on both the experience and the installation. Thank all the faculties for the comments!

On Tuesday the team discussed on the quarter feedback and thought about how to deal with them, finding a good scope and tried to working on more details on the experience.

On Wednesday the team started to research on how blades are really made in the real industry and tried to find some clues on how this should be designed for the students.

On Friday the team sit together and discussed about the outcome from everyone’s research. A lot of the interesting discussions! Next topic to research, based on the learning objectives, will be how to figure out wind pattern based on a give landscape, and the team would work on that on the weekend.

The team would like to do a paper play test as soon as possible. But before that, the team need to figure out more details. This was why the team move towards research rather than start building content immediately. See you next week!

Hi all! Nice to see you again! Team Flint kept iterating the ideas and prepared to move towards the quarter in this week.

On Monday the team had the regular advisor meeting and talked about the feedback from the clients. On our afternoon core hours we luckily have Mr. Anthony Daniel came in our room and discussed the project with us. He was really a nice man and really helpful as well!

On Tuesday the team decided to dig into details about the experience as well as the installation, so we could show them to the client and have their feedback. The team had a clear picture from the beginning of the experience to the end of it, as well as how the installation works in each stage of it. The team decided to present to the client on Thursday so we could have one more day working on the feedback before the quarter.

On Wednesday the team made some slight changes on what discussed on Tuesday, and prepared for the presentation.

On Thursday the team first met faculties, namely Mike Christel and Ruth Comley, on our current design. We got useful feedback from Mike on how to test this design in an early stage, and we had valuable information from Ruth different possible way to implement the installation as well as the pros and cons accompanied. In the afternoon we went to EFSD and presented the ideas with the client. We specifically discussed with the teachers and listened to their feedback carefully.

On Friday the team met other faculties, namely Brenda and John on how to improve the experience. Then the team together discussed what to present for the quarter, and rehearsed a lot.

The team were getting to have more and more clear picture on what the client really wants. On the other hand, the team need to quickly figure out all the details and start working on something solid. See you next week!

Hi all! Nice to see you again! Team Flint aimed at working out the concept of our experience with the client in this week. It was a fruitful week!

On Monday the team shared with the advisors about our campus visit. The advisors gave us valuable feedback on it. After that faculties visited our room and checked our branding materials. They all liked the design, but the same time also pointed out the flaws which definitely help us improve it. In the rest of the day, the team worked on the experience of our project. We would like to quickly iterate it with the client.

On Tuesday the team discussed on the ideas about the experience and shared it with our clients. The clients replied with their comments, and they also sent us a lot of materials to help us. Thank you very much!

On Wednesday the team quickly responded to the feedback from the client and work on improvements.

On Thursday we started to prepare a presentation and we hoped to present it to the client on Friday, so we could get quick feedback on it.

On Friday the presentation went smooth and we were much more clear about what the client wanted. The team discussed about it right after the presentation. The next iteration will be there!

The team felt that we needed a lot of help from the content experts. We were then reaching out via our network, and looked up the communities that might help over the Internet. We tried to run as fast as possible as always!

See you next week!

Hi there, welcome to project Flint!

Flint is a 2015 Fall ETC project aiming at creating an interactive experience at the Energy Lab at Elizabeth Forward Middle School for Grade 7 kids.

This week, Flint aimed at effective communication with the client, and tried to figure out what the project would look like. The team had two brainstorming sessions, one on Tuesday and one on Wednesday after meeting our advisors. In these sessions, team members tried their best to find possible interactions that may attract Grade 7 kids, while the same time strictly connected to the scene – Energy Lab.

On Thursday, the team visited our client – Elizabeth Forward Middle School at their campus. The client introduced the project to the team, and demonstrated the previous Energy Lab projects. After that, the team presented several pitch ideas to the client, and asked the client for their comment. The client was excited about the pitch, and they gave the team many useful suggestions. The team decided to quickly work out a second pitch in the coming week and try to fix the deliverables asap.

On Friday the team enjoyed a short break and took their team photos!

The team will start prototyping technical challenges and figure out the Dos and Don’ts in the next week. Also, as mentioned above, the team will continue the iteration with the client to define the deliverables for the project.

See you next week!
