This week we have been focused on setting up the framework for our project and how we are organizing our team work structure.<\/p>\n
We started this week by attending a workshop as a team that helped us learn how to narrow down our brainstorming ideas and shift our focus onto one or two ideas. \u00a0This led to interesting discussions about the goals of our project as well as the goals of Games for Change as a movement. \u00a0As a team, we solidified our problem statement, identified the audience that we are trying to reach, and set our goals for this project. \u00a0With all this in mind, we went back and developed our ideas more and selected 3 to pitch to our client.<\/p>\n
After pitching our ideas to Emily, she gave us some really great feedback and suggestions to help our project develop even more. \u00a0She said we were on the right track, but we just needed to refine our ideas a bit more. \u00a0So as a team, we broke off and continued to work hard at refining our ideas. \u00a0We discussed previous Games for Change games and analyzed their design. \u00a0We discussed potentially partnering with a charity so that our game can have real world effects.<\/p>\n
Our producers have been hard at work this week setting up the timeline for our project and setting goals for the team. \u00a0They taught the team Scrum and how we will be using it in our project. \u00a0They set up a scrum board for us and began planning the sprint goals for our project. \u00a0In addition, our artist Jack has been busy working on creating our team logo as well as other pieces of branding for our project throughout the semester.<\/p>\n
We ended the week with another meeting with our advisors Ralph and Brenda. \u00a0They gave us some helpful advice. \u00a0This weekend we are going to push to really refine our ideas so that next week we can bring them to the client and begin prototyping and development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
