Hello!
Today has been a very eventful day. We started the morning at the Northrop Grumman facility in Rolling Meadows where we and the 20 new-hires had orientation. We learned more about Northrop Grumman as a whole (who knew there were so many international facilities?) as well as what Electrical Systems specifically is in charge of. After the presentation, we filled out the many onboarding forms and headed over to the Harper Professional Center.
At the center we had a mini-design challenge of creating a rubber-band powered car out of cardboard, rubber bands, skewers, and other office supplies. This was important as we saw some of our strengths (hands on enthusiasm) as well as our weaknesses (fully sketched out plans...).
Later after lunch, we brainstormed different carnival games we could create for the Museum of Science and Industry. After everyone brainstormed three ideas indicidually, we presented our top idea to one another and voted to narrow it down to three group ideas we were really excited about. We then fleshed each idea out more, adding sketches, pros and cons, and potential scopes of each project.
We hope to continue working with those three ideas for the rest of the week to make them even more refined for our presentation at MSI on Wednesday!
