Today we had a one hour teaming workshop. The most exciting part about this initially was that it was run by two Class of 2014 alums, and it was fantastic to see them again. They had us split up into groups with people not on our teams, and then we did an activity that was mostly an excuse to go through feedback after the activity. I'm not sure how well that worked, but the activity was fun in a ridiculous way. They gave each group of five or six students two slips of paper with nouns on them and gave us eight minutes to come up with a product based on those two nouns and develop a visual representation, and then each group had one minute to pitch the product to the class. Every group member had to speak in the presentation.
Our two nouns were bobsleds and beanbags. After coming up with a few ideas, we went with perhaps the most obvious, a bobsled sport in which you also have to toss beanbags at targets. With four minutes left, though, each group was given an additional noun to incorporate into the idea. We got armadillos, so naturally we decided that you also have to essentially bowl with armadillos as you go through this course. Note: this is a terrible idea on so many levels.
In other news, we have a new record for how high a stent can bounce, and we don't think we'll ever be able to break it, so the Stent Olympics have been won.
