DESIGN

  • This week, I continued to work with Kshitij and Akshay to flesh out the art and technology needs for the design. I also wrote the copy for our teacher outreach document that will be provided to teachers who are interested in collaborating with us. This coming week I will begin prototyping puzzles using our physics engine, meet with interested teachers, and work with Kshitij to make our teacher outreach document more aesthetically pleasing.

PRODUCTION

  • This week, I set up the project website and the JIRA project for our team.  We did our first rounds of Scrum, and though it’s kind of messy with everyone’s electives and schedules I hope that doing this digitally and calling over Skype each Scrum will be helpful.  I don’t know if these processes are useful for the team at all, everyone seems to be doing their own thing, but we will see once we do a retrospective next week.  We also had visitors from SATE this Thursday, which helped us practise explaining our project.  Through Mike Christel, I’ve gotten us in touch with teachers from the Montour School District and the Ellis School and hope to set up meetings with them soon.  As we approach halves this week, I hope to work on making sure we organise what we are going to present and have the branding ready for critique.
