The lesson was based in my favourite room in the entire world, The Automatic. For those who've never been to this room, it's a place that's meant to inspire ideas and encourage teamwork. It has lots of random things in it, such as lego, drums, a variety of different seats, a massive screen with keyboards that are all connected up to it where you can anonymously type and lots more! So after the longest walk up the longest corridor, I arrived at the workshop.
The first thing we had to do was create a lego tower. I decided to honour my inner child and build the tallest tower I could with a load of random bits coming off it. Here it is:
Impressive I know...
The next task was to change the tower in some way to represent an attribute that you bring to a team. I found this a really confusing and difficult task but in the end I chose to balance out the tower a bit more because in a team I like to have balance with no leaders so that everyone is equal.
We then had to make a completely new model representing an important thing to have in a team. I decided to take my idea of balance before and elaborate on it, making all the lego men be on equal platforms with a range of different bricks making up their levels to show diversity.
The final task was to arrange our group's models and towers in a shape on the table, showing how they all were connected to eachother. I didn't really understand what this was so am going to research into it more for my essay.
Overall the workshop was alright, it wasn't my favourite Thursday lesson we've had but it definitely wasn't the worst. I'm still unsure of what the whole technique was meant to do, so as I said before, will look into it furthur.
