Paper Plane........

Software Engineers to Pilots...

You can all think the title is weird.Ofcourse! when our sarasi mam asked us to make planes,we also thought "what is the connection between software engineers (don't mind calling ourselves software engineers without completing the degree) and the planes?!".But at the end of the session we understood why we were given a task to make planes.

           Some of you might think "Planes!!this people won't even make some toy car .Then how is this possible?". Hehe...they are actually some paper planes ,what we used to make and throw to our friends during classhours of our school time. 

      

       Let me tell you all what happened during our last PPD session(01.06.2018).

     Mam first divided us into two groups ,one containing nine people and the next containing eight people.Then she gave us yellow six colour sheets and six blue colour sheets to the next team.The task was to make planes as much as possible using those papers within the given time.After the end of the given time ,two members from each team has to come forward and throw the planes over the boundary line to score points.

              At the beginning we got 5 minutes to plan the strategy and then thirty minutes to execute the plan.So, in the first 5minutes we made a sample plane and threw it for trial and then we started making the planes.At the end, we were able to make only 29 planes while our opponents made 36.

                     After the huge construction of our planes,our pilots aashiq and rama were ready for launching them...but unfortunately our team was able to make 19planes cross the boundary.Hence,the blue team was consideres as the winners because they made more planes to cross the boundary line.

Mistakes that we realized :

• not everyone took part in making the plane and we were divided into sub groups among ourselves.
• we couldn't make make more planes within the given time although we had papers remaining.
• we made many fouls when throwing the planes amd our planes were wasted.
• The most important is we didn't take the activity seriously.

Lessons we learned at the end of the session.

• while doing some work,our concentration should be in that work.
• being ITpeople ,the most important thing is we have to plan well before starting a project and finish the project within the given time.

• team work and participation is a must in our field.
• learning to get use if the resources available.
