Week 7 Group work
After resting for 2 weeks we returned to an online class. It was really fun to attend class using my laptop. I usually love group work because it allows me to get to know different people from different cultures and work together so that we can pass an assignment. This week’s class helped me to understand what we had to do for the group work and how we had to make a prototype so that we can put it in Trello. As a class, we discussed how we each had to make a prototype so that we can all contribute to our group work. Our group assessment had to show how water pollution is going to affect us in the year 2051. Since in week 3 of our class, my group and I discussed how we going to focus on water pollution therefore for this assessment we had to explain fully the effect of water pollution and how it’s going to affect us in the year 2051. As for this week’s class, we specifically had to learn all about speculative design. Even though I had no idea what that was at the beginning of the class nor what it does, later on, I learned that using “Speculative design” could help me/us develop ideas for a better future. This interesting design (Speculative design), it could allow for creative ideas and different views that we see within our world and some of the wicket problems that we are facing. As the class continues I learned some of the most basic concepts that are related to design fiction. An example of this is that design fiction is all about using objects to tell the future. In my point of view, I have no idea why didn’t the ministry of education introduces this topic in high schools. After all, using this concept to determine a better future should be one of the most important things to learn at an early age so that the younger generation could have a good mindset about their future.
