iSmarts Assemble!!

Hey!
Okay so here we go, first group meeting outside of class occurred via email communications~ not super exciting I know, not to worry though because there were surely be more opportunities to meet up and discuss class matters.
First thing to establish is the schedule, each of us have conflicting after class activities and we need to work out a good meeting time.
For me, I am free most everyday after class, my schedule is very flexible. I work Fridays and Saturdays, sometimes Sundays, in the morning to mid afternoon. Wednesdays I'm not as available, but I can talk right after class then.

In our time together we figured out what connects us to this class. We each have our own ever developing paths that we have set ourselves on. We are not set into a type group, we are not engineers or biologists, we are independent and open to new ways of thinking and working out problems on our own. Ever developing~ like technology and science in this new day in age.

On the 19th of July we will be presenting the content of chapter eight to the class. We will come up with a constructive way to present the material to the class that is interesting and related to an everyday lesson in technology.

Houston, We Have a Problem

On the 28th, we had our first group discussion. We were to figure out how each of us were connected, how we worked out problems, and to come up with a decent group name. We also talked about how we look at things in the world, what framed our perspectives on life and how the world works. I found that we all shared a similar reflection on working out problems and taking each day one day at a time.

How does your chosen profession (or the one you think you want to pursue) "see" a problem"? 
In my chosen profession, if I came upon a problem, I would see it as a puzzle and try to solve it in the best way possible. Having different perspectives on a problem can help you open your eyes to see new ways of fixing and solving. So trying to be open minded and positive can help bring about a good outcome. If discouraged, as some might get when challenged with a difficult problem, try try again, and as always keep an open mind and eye out for new possibilities.
