In class:
This week we spent most of our time with learning how design thinking works. I realized that my creativity is not so great, so this is one skill I need to improve for the rest of the term. This class will be a great opportunity to do so as we are doing many creative stuff like coming up with new ideas. I am glad that I got a sense through exercises how creative thinking looks like, and how I can improve it. I did not understand for the first time why we were creating a backpack for our classmates, but I know now that it was something deeper we had to do, think in a different way, this is what this whole class is about. Leaders think in a different way.
Team meeting:
I also had my first meeting with the team and I think it went really well. We all agreed on the what are goals are and that we can only achieve if we work hard as a group. I learned that I have to think about this class “as a group”. I try to be someone who brings joy to the group because I think without having some kind of fun is relevant because then everybody will be happy to work hard. Also, in the first meeting, besides doing our team agreements I tried to get to know the people who I am working with this term. My experience is that if I know someone better in a group that is going to make our job way easier. We started to come up with ideas and I think we found something that is interesting for all of us.
I cannot wait to actually get started and work on our project. It’s fun!
