1st DAY @ironhack = I survived
Honestly, i don’t remember the last time i had to stay focused for so many hours XD However we had the chance to get several breaks during the day which helped a lot (thanks Nevan!)
Despite the ongoing situation (covid-19) I decided to attend the lesson directly in the Campus; here I was able to meet in person other 2 classmates and honestly, going was the best choice! We were able to interact and helping each other even during the lesson and without interrupting others. I was really glad to see I was not the only one going, although, even if I would have been alone, I saw that it is easy to socialise with other members of the Campus, there is a very nice atmosphere there!
Already in the first day, we faced some challenges and worked in teams to analyse different aspects, for example: - taking in consideration the “Double Diamond” model, we had to try to identify differences between the meaning of divergent and convergent in respect of the Design Thinking process. - choosing a website, and from it analysing the Strong and the Weak points in relation to the 10 Heuristic Principles. All this under the pressure of a time limit, which sometimes was definitely not enough; however, managing time will be something very essential to learn.
Overall I can say it was definitely a positive experience, and since we already got the first project to deliver by the end of this week, I am really curious to see how me and my mates will manage the time and the anxiety by delivering a good project under a specific deadline. Let’s see...
Thanks for reading... and Stay Tuned...
