Week 2&3 reflection

I am so sorry i could not post as my internet at home is down. I cannot post in school too due to the infringement of AUP.

Week 2 reflection

Some questions that are still going around in my head…
1) how to not let the leaves decompose
2) how much to sell the umbrella
3) how many leaves does it take approximately to make one umbrella?
4) how do we connect the leaves together

3 things I learned…
1) The public will have to be convinced to buy this product as it is made out of leaves and might not be very presentable though usefull and eco-friendly.
2) we can glue the leaves together to as a method of putting them together
3) In order to score well, we should have more teamwork and not let each person do just his own work but do a little of everything together as a group.

Ideas i have to agree with
1) using the superglue to put the twig and leaves together as to form an umbrella
2) make the umbrella tilted to an angle so water flows one way down.

Week 3 reflection

Right now our progress has been rather far. we are planning to start on the practical part this saturday. We have decided to meet up as a team at my house to do the shelter of the umbrella. However, i have just discovered an extremely big problem that i have to voice out to everyone. It is that the umbrella that we are going to make is not portable. it cannot be closed/opened like normal umbrellas can. This is a very big problem about the convenience of this tool. So, I thought that we should not attach it to a bag because its not convenient. i would appreciate it if all of you could voice out your opinions so as to solve this problem.
