Workshop Day 7.

Today we had 'Thinking out of the Box' workshop. The content was pretty good! The teacher was also damn cool. He told us about his start up and how we can come to visit his office to learn how a start up worked.

First we played the 'Two Truths One Lie' game. It is so difficult to think of any good truths to confuse a person because I don't remember doing anything impossibly crazy.

Anyways, after that game, we played 'Script writing with a twist game'. So the game goes like this:
One person comes and draws something on the board. Then the next person draws something else but relatable to the previous image. This goes on until the fifth person, who has to create a story out of the given pictures on the board. This continues till the last person in the class and by that time, we have a script ready. Later we give points to each drawing for their relevance on the story. It was a really fun activity.

After a short break, we played the main game of the day, 'Think out of the box, literally'. We were divided into seven groups of four. We were all given an identical box each and we had to make something out of that box which gave more utility than the box. It could be realistic or unrealistic. We had to name our product, price it, and give it a description.

My team came up with an idea of making a flying car just like the one in Harry Potter and we made one. It looked good, in my opinion.

After we were done making our products, the sir switched every team's products with one another. And we were given the task of making a 60 second commercial for the product given to us. We had to advertise what we thought was a caravan. Our commercial was not that good and we ended up getting the least points but whatever, we tried. Apparently the product given to us was a vanity van.

Today, again, the content of the class was good, my team was okayish.

Well, better than the team I had the last time.
