We spent some time meeting each other and discussing possible team names, there were several interesting suggestions. The one that seemed most popular was created by all team members randomly picking a letter and then jamming them together into a word, the result was ZOKAYWED.
Next the team dove in to brainstorming ideas for the egg event. They have several good ideas already and they came up with this list of items, the initials in parenthesis are who is bringing that item to the next meeting so we can start building and testing.
- Cotton Balls (KS)
- Duct Tape (TH)
- Egg Cartons (Everyone, just bring in any you empty between now and next meeting)
- Boxes (KH)
- Parachutes (plastic bags) (LL, JR, MW)
- Diapers (MH)
- Bubble Wrap (KH)
- Seran Wrap (MW)
- Eggs (CL)
- Packing Peanuts (KH)
- Marshmallows (MH, LL)
Finally we had an instant challenge. For their instant challenge they had a tower of blocks on a cardboard platform, they had to move the tower to another platform about 20 feet away without using their hands or arms to move the blocks. This was a great first instant challenge, it gave us a great opportunity to review some of the key things to do in an instant challenge. I'll spare you the details but it was a good way to get the teams instant challenge skills back in shape.
Before we knew it our hour and a half was over. It was a great first meeting and the time went really fast. Our tentative plan is to keep having meetings on Sundays, we'll juggle things around Packer games when necessary.
Be sure to check out the photo album for photos of the team at work. Just click on one of the photos in the slideshow on the upper right hand side of the blog to see the entire photo album. I'll try to update this every week.
That's all for this week,
Mr. H
