Unfortunately I wasn’t able to participate in the project pitches this week because I was sick. I was still able to communicate with my group and discuss what we wanted to do. Initially, as seen during the presentation, we came up with three ideas including learning how to cook and hosting a catering even for the final project, learn how to do graffiti art to eventually sell the final pieces for charity, and learn how to golf and show the experience of both an instructor and students. For the purpose of this blog I’d like to go over some of the reasoning behind each pitch.
Learning how to cook, especially as a college student, is an important skill. Although not always cost effective, there are ways to get around that and make a healthy meal. These are a couple of things we would explore, and overall what cooking looks like for a college student. In the end we’d host a catering event and use the skills we learn to cook for a crowd and work on being a team.
Although most of us aren’t artistic, maybe I’m just speaking for myself, the graffiti art project would have probably been a tough one but very fun. We’d be able to experiment with so many different styles and art forms and what the craft looks like. Towards the end once we feel confident enough we could create art to sell and give the proceeds to a local charity.
All three ideas are great, and after discussion we decided on learning how to play golf. It will be a fun experience that will be educational for all of us I think, and will be a good bonding experience. Although golf is more of an individual sport, I think our project will entail working as a team to create an interesting final project, showing all of the required skills needed for this project, and strengthening ourselves in areas that need improvement.
