A good experience, working with new people and learing what they are learning. Also learing new skills with them to produce a really good bridge design. The week started a bit confusing as I had no idea what we were doing, but then I started to understand after we sat down in our group and talked about what we were doing. Day 2 my job was the stairs at each end of the brigde. They stared looking like nothing, but when they where painted and put together with the bridge and other parts they looked like real stairs. I also had the job of filling each end so that when people walk up and down the stairs they dont fall of. Day 3 last adjustments and presentaion. All help was needed to get the final outcome of our design, but we did it and everything was finished with a really good bridge design. I was really happy with the way they bridge turned out, it was not like anything I expected.

Group 6 – thoughts of day 1
The day started with a talk about our test, building a bridge. We looked at different types to inspire us. The reason for this was to get a better understanding of what we need to do for the rest of the week. We then walked down to the other building to see where we are wanting to put the bridge and see the scale that we are morning on. After this we found lots of examples and able to create some ideas to come up with our final design. I liked looking at the different designs of bridges and see how different each one is. This have given in an idea on how to design ours. Our final idea will be connecting the 2 university buildings together over the cross Road.
