This past week I worked together with Alex, Julia and Riley to build a lego model airplane. We divided the team as such: Julia and I were the architects and Alex and Riley were the engineers.
On Friday Julia and I went to the CET building to receive instructions. As soon as the task was presented to us, I could already start to see the difficulties that would arise during the assignment. We decided that I was to be the architect who would write the instructions for the engineers and Julia would describe to me to the best of her abilities how she thought the plane was built. The fact that she was restricted to not be able to touch the plane and move it around made the task of figuring out its' blueprint much harder. Personally I found it very challenging to convey into precise step-by-step instructions what the engineers needed to do to build the parts that Julia was describing to me as I myself wasn't even 100% sure what they looked like having never seen the model or any drawings of it.
After a couple of hours I had put together the set of instructions. Unfortunately Julia wasn't able to recognize a lot of the precise lego pieces that were used in the model so the instructions to a few parts of the plane lacked what I considered the necessary detail needed to build the model as Julia saw it. Nevertheless, hopefully our team of engineers was able to make something out of our work and I am excited to see what they produced today!
That's all for now!
Cheers,
Oliviero
