Creative Thinking Skill [ Assignment 1 ]

0 Comments
" How to make an egg fly?," Mr Charles asked during the lecture of Week 2. This is probably the hardest question that had been thrown at me in my entire life and yes it's even harder than thinking of what to eat for my dinner later.

"Is this even possible?" the first question comes to my mind. But after all, the purpose of having Creative Thinking Skills courses is to develop individual's skills in thinking and solving impossible problems. And for sure, to come out with something unique and surprising.

Mr Charles also incharged as the lecturer of the FID students in Creative Thinking Skill's classes. He then arranged us into group since it's a group assignment (thanks God) by using some apps I guess? After refreshing for like a thousand times, finally Me (Kah Yee), Joyi and Iwan had team up for the group assignments.

First and foremost, what's the question & problems will we encountered during this project?

1. How can egg fly?
2. How can it fall safely?
3. How can we eject the egg?
4. How slow must the egg fall to survive?
5. What materials can we use to make egg fly and secure it?
6. How to control the speed of an egg?
7. Gliding VS parachuting?

8. Best position to hold the egg? 

We then come up with different ideas and sketch it down for our ideal journal.








Here's briefly our ideas :

1)  Parachute 
2) Water Rocket
3) Slingshot 
4) Paraglider
5) Catapult

To protect the egg : 

1) Wrap with sponges
2) Wrap with cotton
3) Put in the plastic bag filled with rice 
4) Wrap with wet towels

We had come out of many ideas and finally choose to use a catapult to launch the egg with a parachute. Egg is secure by sponges and cottons. 











On August 19th 2015 , our team had successfully submitted our Creative Thinking Skill's Assignment 1 : How to make an Egg Fly?

We had also achieved the mission that not only make the egg fly but also not breaking the egg.

A thousand thanks to my team member who are always being helpful and kind. Without any one of us, we couldn't achieved such successes in this project and our hard works had apparently paid off. Further more, thanks to Mr. Charles who gives us idea and suggestion during the discussion.

Also, thanks to everyone who made it happened.
