BUILD A PRODUCT (HALLOWEEN THEME)
HERIOT WATT UNIVERSITY DUBAI
My day started with visiting my University where I did my
bachelors from. Heriot watt University Dubai. It always makes me feel happy and
excited whenever I get to visit my Uni. I have some fond memories with this
name “Heriot watt University Dubai”.
But, this time I was even more excited since one of my favorite
Professor Miss. Marlene Muller had invited me as a blogger to blog about her third-year
students. She has been one of the reasons why I have always loved HWUDC (Heriot
watt University Dubai Campus) and keep going back to the campus (Most of my
friends and I visit the Uni once in a while to greet the professors and
faculty).
The idea behind the activity that particular morning was
that Miss. Marlene would provide her students with resources to build a product
for the upcoming Halloween but, they were given a budget of 800 dirhams to be
able to purchase those products. And the most interesting part was after the
students were done showcasing their products they needed to take a picture,
upload it on Instagram with the hashtag #HWDubai
all thanks to our creative professor. We had yarns, papers, scissors, glue,
googly eyes, color pencils, markers and a couple of more resources. There were
around 10-11 groups of 4-5 people in each group.
These mind sound like basic resources but, what the students
created out of it was WOW! Some of the ideas were so useful and amazing. YOU
CAN GO AND CHECK ON THE HASHTAG, you will be amazed. That’s what I learnt as
well to not think that we need more resources to produce magic.
ITS YOUR IMAGINATION THAT CREATES MAGIC OUT OF NOTHING!
The purpose of this activity was to create awareness among the students as to how will they work with a budget while they purchased the
products that would help them make a fancy and unusual product within 1 hour.
The first hour was for planning, then the leaders of each
group had to stand in the queue to get the products and write about the
products that they needed if later they changed or added a product they had to
stand again in the long queue as well as get them replaced by other resources.
THIS MADE ME REMEMBER OPPORTUNITY COST.
The second half was
how would the team of 4-5 build a product within a limited time, resources, no
internet so they had to be as creative as possible, as unusual and their
product needed to be useful as well.
It is always great to be a part of activities where you
learn so much. I mean there was a time when I was also in third year doing the
same course as them. But, it was altogether different this time cause I was
doing the exact opposite of what I did the last time. Needed to judge and
decide who was the best team (Also got to keep some amazing creations of the
students).
Altogether I got a chance to make use of my time Thursday
Morning where I learnt how to make use of the limited resources to create a
product as per a particular theme.
The day ended with a group picture.
Thankyou to Heriot watt University for having me over.
