Week 3: The Lego Game

The lego game was very interesting because at first, for me, it seemed more of a competition to see whether engineers or business majors followed instructions better; however, each lego bag contained different items so most groups just deviated from the instructions for the most part. I found it interesting that even without instructions, the teams were able to creatively make equal, if not better, models of helicopters and race cars. I thought it interesting because when we didn't follow the instructions, it gave us the freedom to creatively put together what we wanted to, without any restrictions but also achieve a similar end product. Similarly, by not having the right pieces, we were forced to be resourceful with what we did have and we managed to successfully create a helicopter. Overall, I found this activity to be a great segue into our startups because we got an intro to team dynamics, collaboration, and startup expectations and realities.
