"I'm gonna pick up the pieces
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down"
INSTRUCTIONS
At the beginning of the game our team was split into two smaller teams, one team was "engineer based" and the other was more miscellaneous. The instructions for the game were pretty vague, but everyone just played along and didn't really ask any questions. After the teams separated, we were given papers with lego images and asked to write instructions to the other team on how to build them.
THE GAME
For the game I was placed on the miscellaneous team which consisted of a pre-business major, an IDS and me an MCB & Media Studies major. My team was given a picture of a lego formula 1 car. We initially tried to write out steps by focusing on specific parts, but decided to give more broad instructions about the separate parts of the car. As it became increasingly difficult to give instructions, we just said it was a race car. Additionally we tried to give a link to what the car looked like. When we got the bag of legos we realized that the parts were all random and that the instructions that were given wouldn't work. As a result, we just improvised to follow the instructions of what our other team said.
WHAT I LEARNED
From the game I learned to use my resources to the best of my capabilities and in context of the situation. Additionally, I came to understand that the end results don't always turn out as expected or as planned, but I should always try my best to make a product.
