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.

  1. Hi Varsha,
    I think its pretty interesting to see how technical/non-technical majors work through problems and the different approaches they have. It seems like while they usually end up at the same solution, as you mentioned, the way there can differ.
