The Egg drop challenge

we where given 6 straws,  a roll of masking tape and an egg.
 and told we would be dropping it over 1-4 floor to hit the ground , and we had to stop the egg form breaking.

The group was
Jake, AJ ,Billy and Myself.

The first bit we discussed what ideas we should do and then talked about how  we would do it.
then some of us drew the designs for what we where thinking.

in the end we took one Idea and worked with it and adapted it as we went.
We took in account of wind, velocity, surface area and what bit would hit first.

We decided we would use the inner part of the tape reel to take some of the shock.
and added straws around the side to add bounce and a bit of cushioning,
we also put the egg in the middle of the tube so it would take the shock.

Xbox game Presentation

So we did our presentation on Monday
Kyle, Danni, Paige and myself.
Because of absents and some of the group not being in when we worked on our xbox game we didnt have a presentation sorted so we where given some extra time to put together a slid show and sort out who was saying what.
  • I would introduce 
  • Danni would talk about character related things
  • Piage would talk about enviroments
  • Kyle would finish up. 
I would of said our presentation was amazeing or A rated allthough because of the questions at the end i believe we got across what sort of game we wanted to make got across.
I couldnt realy think of what too say at some points and my sentences wheere full of alot of "ums" and "ohs" due to me not remembering something or remembering. i was not very smooth

We where a bit  unprepared to say the least and i did not look around the class as i was talking .
Their was a point where fingers where pointed at someone for not saying something during the presentation which was totaly uneeded and was part of their speech. which came across like we wernt realy in a team or had little trust in one another.

Overall i think we could of made a decent presentation which had more impact and effect if everyone was in at the same time and  the presentation was preplaned alot more.
