Monday (9/12) After School Meeting

3:20–3:45 – run available mousetraps; check for improvements; debrief changes people made and tips/tricks for those who are still stuck.
3:45-4:30 – Robotics vocab/charades/pictionary activity
Have box of items, someone sees an item and describes to team; team guesses and then function is explained.
4:30-5:50 – Workshops intro (split into groups of 5-6, rotate through all leads)
5:50-6:00 – Debrief


I feel like we should test out the charades/vocab activity on ourselves before we do it with the team

dangit Sophia... make your posts in the Calendar thing (between Home and FAQ), not in the forum (it won't show up on the Calendar if you don't).

happy Ivan?

So are we actually going to kick people off if they don't meet the 3 meter requirement? Cause after talking to some people on 9/8, there were some people (vets) who seemed like they weren't really taking the project seriously, and that one kid who seemed like he was giving up (ohs-noooesss!)

yeah we are--> it was either Ratto or Wei that approved... someone was like "oh thats fine"

i know it sounds super harsh but they do have a decent number of chances
and who was the one kid?

Is the charades activity acting only or Taboo (descriptions/words) or pictionary or all/pick one of the above? I can see it getting boring with a large number of people, though, especially vets, which is why I still prefer the scavenger hunt idea.

As for the 3m requirement, kicking people off the team seems severe (what if we just gave them a tardy/absence for non-commitment?) I mean I can sympathize with the media/non-engineering oriented people who don't like it as much. But the tardy/absence would still be strict enough to let them know they should really try and take robotics seriously.

Ooh idea: what if we merged charades + scavenger hunt?
For example.. the first object someone acts out/draws is a screwdriver. Instead of saying it out loud, people search the room for a screwdriver. First person to bring a screwdriver to the front gets to act out/draw the next item, after we go over what a screwdriver is.

Although.. given the large team size, moving around could be a problem.
