The Automatic..

Today we got shown "The Automatic" -to be honest it was one of the most amazing class rooms ever. The place has sofas, spinny chairs, rocking chairs, sectioned off parts of the rooms with lots stimuli like lego, old apple computers and three large screens that are put together as one massive one. These screens make up this computer with many keyboards linked up with it so we could all input ideas anonymously, such a good way of coming up with ideas.

Todays lesson was about Edward de Bono we used his methods to come up with a new product to have within the Screen School, we got given cards with different images on to help up come up with ideas. Another activity we were given were the 'Brain box' - a box of scraps that had been collected and we had to come up with ideas from this. Another activity was a list of words that we had been given randomly and we had to come up with ideas with these words. For some reason i felt it was a lot easier for me to come up with ideas from the lists of words than from images or the brain box. For other people in my group it was different.
