PPD: PAPER PLANE

Software Engineers became aeronautical engineering

2018/06/01

This is the first activity that we did in our first PPD session in June. All the students of our class were separated into two groups. There were nine members in our group. First what happened was our madam gave 6 yellow papers to our group and 6 blue papers to the other group. The task was, we asked to make planes as much as possible by use those papers and the other important thing was, after the time out two members of each group wants to throw the planes over the boundary line to get points.

Group members:

Prasanth
Ramakrishnan
Minoltan
Aashik
Dulith
Deshanjali
Hirushka
Sujithra

At the time of planing to build plane

At the beginning we got 5 minutes to plan the strategy and then thirty minutes to execute the plan.So, in the first 5minutes we made a sample plane and threw it for trial and then we started making the planes.At the end, we were able to make only 29 planes while our opponents made 36.

When Building Aircrafts 😆 :

I am and Aashik became pilots 😆,We represented our team and tried to through the planes over the line and first we started badly but after that we realized what we want to do and finally we were able to through planes as much as possible. But Unfortunately the other team beat us.

Mistakes that we realized :

not everyone took part in making the plane and we were divided into sub groups among ourselves.
we couldn't make make more planes within the given time although we had papers remaining.
we made many fouls when throwing the planes amd our planes were wasted.
The most important is we didn't take the activity seriously.

Lessons we learned at the end of the session :

while doing some work,our concentration should be in that work.
being ITpeople ,the most important thing is we have to plan well before starting a project and finish the project within the given time.
team work and participation is a must in our field.
learning to get use if the resources available.
