Activity 5 : Challenging Assumptions

Introduction

Today's topic was assumptions;

what is an assumption?

The assumption is something you think to be true without any proof or real evidence supporting it.

Warmup Activity

In The warmup activity, we discussed a variety of assumptions for Masala Chai such as,

That it is readily available, it is a common courtesy to offer our guests, and that it is generally served hot.

Main Activity

The dish we got was Paani puri, which sounds easy on paper but was pretty hard to come up with assumptions for. At least it was for me Because I don't like paani puri that much, so it was hard for me to come up with assumptions. I was only able to come up with seven assumptions for our group, But in the end, we were able to come up with a decent amount of assumptions.

The biggest challenge for our group was choosing the correct assumption to challenge. It took us a decent amount of time to take the assumption that we want to challenge. We took Poor quality ingredients as our assumption that we wanted to challenge. We weren't very confident about that choice, but we rolled with it. And Hemanshi ma'am didn't end up hating it. so I guess it went well. Looking back on it, I realized that our end product or solution actually solved more than one challenge. So I think we should've added more than one assumptions to our presentation.

In the group presentation, the group that struck me the most was group-7. I loved how they fit everything in just one page, yet it didn't look messy at all. Everything was readable, and the poster they made was very pleasing to the eye. they had an amazing color scheme for their poster. And the packet they made for their advertisement was very detailed as well.

Mantra for the day
