Two Trimester focus planning:
Reflection on glows/grows from your demo/presentations:
The enthusiasm from the participants was evident as they eagerly explored how our predictions played out, expressing genuine joy in both victory and defeat. One of the strengths of our team was the comprehensive understanding each member possessed regarding the project, allowing us to articulate the intricacies to outsiders in an accessible manner. However, as we reflect on our demonstration, we recognize an area for improvement. There were instances where visitors to our table received varying levels of exposure to our project. Some were shown solely the draft, while others, who lingered longer, were introduced to both the drafting page and the individual statistics page. For future presentations, we aim to ensure that every visitor has a consistent and comprehensive experience with our project. This will be a focal point for enhancement in preparation for the upcoming Night at the Museum event next trimester.

Reflection on glows/grows from your demo/presentations
Reflecting on our project presentation, it seems that despite the numerous visitors who showed interest by taking a closer look, we may have missed an opportunity to truly engage with them. While they observed the demo of our project, there was a noticeable lack of interactive participation, and this realization prompts a reevaluation of our approach. It’s plausible that the appeal of basketball, as a sport, didn’t resonate as strongly with some of our visitors compared to other interests. In hindsight, a potential oversight was not actively encouraging more individuals to experience our project firsthand, particularly through trying out the distinctive features like our fantasy and individual pages. To foster a more immersive understanding and recieve valuable feedback, a more hands-on approach, where visitors actively engage with the features, could have been implemented. This reflection underscores the importance of not only showcasing but also facilitating direct interaction to elicit a more comprehensive and diverse range of perspectives on our project.

Krishiv’s team project, featuring a football chat that tracks down football teams, presents a unique and interesting take on the intersection of technology and sports. The concept of integrating a chat system with functionality to follow football teams adds a layer of practicality and real-world application to the project. This approach not only caters to sports enthusiasts but also showcases the versatility of computer science in creating tools that enhance user engagement in the realm of sports. In comparing this project with your basketball draft, there are some notable similarities and differences. Both projects fall within the sports domain, using technology to provide interactive experiences for users. While your basketball draft focuses on predicting outcomes and engaging users in the drafting process, Krishiv’s team project centers around facilitating communication and information tracking related to football teams.

This trimester’s art exhibits a noticeable increase in effort, with a prime example being a unique fish drawing that stands out from typical drawings. The artist’s difference from the ordinary by drawing fish that are layered over each other rather than drawn on a flat surface demonstrates a commendable level of creativity. The genuine look of the artwork implies a strong attention to detail, suggesting that the artist invested time in studying fish anatomy, textures, and behavior. This dedication to authenticity, combined with the sophisticated technique of layering, highlights a higher level of technical proficiency. The decision to deviate from traditional approaches also indicates a personal expression and style, making the artwork more compelling and thought-provoking. The use of innovative concepts, experimentation with mediums or tools, and potential incorporation of narrative elements contribute to the overall freshness and uniqueness of the artwork. This improvement may be a result of feedback and a commitment to growth, reflecting the artist’s evolving skills and creative journey.
