Journal Entries 11/24 Brainstorming ideas for the design of our Rube Goldberg. No one brought supplies this day. 12/1 Brainstorming ideas for the Rube Goldberg. Assigned each person in the group a machine and sketched examples of our individual parts. Jonathon brought plastic bottles. 12/3 Brainstorming. No one brought supplies! 12/5 I brought a box to build the Rube Goldberg. The group came up with some ideas and we started to build the project. Ryan took home the project to work on during the weekend. Jonathan was absent! 12/9 I was absent; Ryan was absent! 12/11 We built an unplanned model of the Rube Goldberg; Ryan did not bring back the project!
Summary Our group was kind of slow getting started. We procrastinated bringing the items we needed to build our project and we did not start building until the last few days of the project; despite these difficulties, I believe that throughout the project, our group brainstormed and planned out specifically of how the Rube Goldberg would turn out to be. Everyone was assigned a simple machine and it was critical that we finished before the deadline. Although I believe that our group did not function well, and was plagued with absences throughout, that we still finished the Goldberg, but unfortunately, it looked nothing of how we foreseen it.
