MP4 REFLECTION

        In marking period four, we had our first Cte expo. This allowed us to show our skills from the previous semester to the freshmen class so they could join the web design academy. In order to do this, we each had to create a poster board outline of our experiences and how we feel about what we did. I decided to show the collages we did as it was an interesting time finds different pictures that I could mix together. In addition due to the limited amount of time, we had to work on our pitch. It needed to be short and precise while still giving the freshmen the information they need and answer any questions they may have. These skills will be important in the future as it will help us to share information or pitch our ideas in a professional manner that gets the information across.

        We also had a trip to Viacom CBS. While there we got to meet people from the company and told us about there working experiences and how they got there. They had people from all different departments like animators and people who make household products. While there they gave us an activity to do. We were split into groups and each group had to design an app. The app could do whatever we want. However, we had to make a logo for the app as well as a home screen. This activity gave us useful skills for the future such as how to work with other people. For example, while we were designing the app we each had a different idea. but through us talking we were able to come up with one clear idea. 

        We started to get into how to solve problems. We started by making boats out of aluminum foil and had two attempts at getting the most pennies without the boat sinking. In order to love this problem, we followed a certain path that had us identify a problem, materials needed, how to solve, and how we can improve. We then had to use this knowledge of how to solve problems to redo Viacom apps so they were more cable of doing what we envisioned it to do.
