Today’s Progress:
Integrative Thinking Template: During our class today, we learnt about the concept of integrative thinking. This problem-solving approach allowed us to explore ways to leverage opposing models to generate innovative solutions. We’ve learned and practiced the step-by-step process, as outlined below:
Identify Two Opposing Models: This involves identifying two contrasting models or solutions based on a problem statement.
Build a Pro-Pro Chart: In this step, we learned to identify the advantages of each model, encouraging us to value and leverage the strengths of each.
Identify the Tension: We discovered how to highlight the core tension between the models
Create a new Choice: With a clear understanding of the tension and the pros of each model, we then innovated a new model that integrates the strengths of both while addressing the tension.
Sketch Updates
Alongside our classroom learnings, we continued to build on our design sketches.

Attachments:
It really makes sense to create an attachable design with some attachments. In this way the robot can be converted to a race car or a sumo bot or anything you want. One of the most attracting things for me is making some modular thing.
Even you don’t have to create a robot from scratch. Maybe you can use the current Curio design and create some attachments. Just an idea…
