Week1
My task this week was to watch the three part video of deep dive nightline.

Deep Dive nightline was actually a interesting video to watch. going into it I thought it would be boring. It talks a lot about teamwork, the task of the engineers is the build a more effective shopping cart.


 * first step is to forget the way things use to be, climbing the corporate ladder, hierarchy of status
 * the assignment here was to take something old and familiar to us and redesigned it, from this they came up with a shopping cart
 * designers
 * next five days, team applies the process of design to create a rather new more effective shopping cart
 * the team was made of people of experts of many things from psychologist to biology major
 * first come up with problem - safety is an important issue needed to be resolve they're going to try to tackle that with this new design
 * find experts so you can learn much more quickly than the normal way trying to learn about it yourself
 * performance is not always what you see, more useful people are the ones not at their desk all the time
 * nine straight hours for the team


 * brainstorming start of today "encourage wild ideas defer from judgment"
 * ideas pour out for the next few hours
 * 11AM group narrows down the many ideas, and build on it
 * optimize solutions but the purpose is to dive deep
 * team split us into different groups to build different mark-ups
 * time needs to be under constraints otherwise work will not get done
 * huge importance for being innovative, work place playful, fresh ideas come faster in a fun place
 * encouraged to build ideas in their own work area, stop and ask for forgiveness instead of permission
 * build a culture and process where come up with great ideas often
 * more work to be done before mark-ups can be combined, fail often in order to succeed sooner
 * by the end of part 2 of the video, team has already had samples of new shopping cart


 * shifts working through day and night, team finished product
 * take cart to local supermarket, get constructive criticism
 * everything goes through this design process, except the things designed by nature
 * lots of hours, open minds, belief that chaos can be constructive`

My next task will be to examine HCC buildings where cameras can be placed for the breaking ground of the new SET building.

Week 2
My task this week was to look up meetings of architect, shrink deep dive - detailed
