The Space Patrol

In the afternoon, today, there was another interesting activity. It was a practical activity in group. It was a really nice experience and, personaly, it was very challenging. We did a makeshift and surreal activity. The groups were defined mixing brazilian teachers with another teachers from another countries and finnish students of a business graduation too. We met these new people in same time of working together.  I couldn't imagine what I would do. Everybody didn't know. People were little anxious until we knew the goal: build a space rocket and try to sell space travel in it. Very nice! I never thought in build a rocket with unknown and foreign persons in my life. My group was formed by Jam, an netherlander teacher of economy, Tanja and Elisa, two finnish students, Vico, another brazilian teacher, and me. The brazilians were the leaders of group, at least theoretically. In practice everyone collaborated. After each one had met another, we started our crazy project. We were free to do everthing we could imagine. The name given to our project was Rocket'n'Roll. Our Rocket was like an eletric guitar. Our focus were on the experience of the costumer, befores, during and after the space travel. The consumer could choose the music, places to see, kind of people to share the space travel. It was very fun to do. It was very difficult to me to comunicate in english in this activity. We had little time to know us, design the solution, make decisions, define roles, define tasks and build the rocket with paperboard and another things. My greatest dificulty was to present the idea in 3 minutes. But everything worked well and it was really fun and in the all, it was a great experience.
