1st week Lecture & Tutorial Class: Get Engaged !

Today lecture class introduced about what design thinking for IT is.
Basically, it gave introduction about how the design which particularly for IT.

The tutorial class, moreover, was funtastic! (Fun + Fantastic). We began with the group engagement and introduce each other. It was a big challenge as members of my group came from different nationalities. One is native Australia, one is from Taiwan, two are from China, and me who is from Indonesia.

The first task is Marshmallow Challenge. Here, our tutor gave us a marshmallow, 20 sticks of spaghetti, 30cm of yard tape and 1 m of yard string. We were in competition to other groups to build highest structure in just 10 minutes. It was a challenge for us as we should build as high as possible structure with limited resources, but the structure should be also strong enough to support the marshmallow on the top of the structure.

And here is the result:

Unfortunately, we did it in 10min 20 seconds, which means 20 seconds behind the schedule. However, in this session I feel great. Get engaged with other members who are funtastic! Look forward for next sessions...
