...that's the phrase anyway, then again, we weren't making omelets!
The egg/planning activity we performed in class last Monday was both fun and challenging. Even though my group wasn't ultimately successful, I feel we had a solid plan and worked well together. In terms of our steps in the planning process; here's my take:
1) Defining goals/objectives: We certainly knew what our goal was, and we clearly understood the deadlines. In fact, one of my main focuses was to keep tabs on the timer and help/urge along members of the team accordingly based on time challenges/tasks at hand.
2) Determining resources: Our group quickly established who would do which tasks, which helped make for a sort of assembly line/Santa's Workshop system!
3) Develop alternative strategies: We planned ahead accordingly if our "fishing pole" system didn't work properly. However, plan B didn't work either!
4) Make tactical plan: This sort of goes along with step 2 in our group's case
5) Implement plan/evaluate results: We implemented the plan alright.....directly into the garbage can!
Again, even though our egg broke, I do feel we worked well as a team in creating strategies and overall production of our concept. The one area I feel that perhaps we could have improved upon is the implementation plan, however in terms of testing. We feverishly worked right up to the final second, and if we had an extra minute or so, perhaps we could have tested our design.
All in all, it was a great experiment!

I remember your design and I think you did a great job at coming with an innovative idea and completing the task.
Ohh well..there is always a second chance. The important thing is to try, try till you succeed.
I can't believe you guys couldn't pull it off. From what i remember your project looked very similar to the one that actually made it. Only their extension was longer and the egg didn't have to hit the floor. All they had to do was to let go of the tape/straw string. Oh well, tough luck this time i guess, but I'm sure our Professor will come up with more new and exciting ways to boost up our grades.
hey, i was part of your group and i really thought our idea would work. I thought we worked well together but i feel like there wasn't adequate time to implement our idea in the best way we could have. But overall, it was fun a experiment.
