Week 6 - Preparing Group Presentation

This week we got together to organise our group presentation for next week. The brief for the presentation had several themes to choose from that relate to each groups project type. The final output was to include a 1000 words report, images supporting your topic and a 3 minute video to be embedded on the wiki. For ours we choose to focus on Communication as we feel this is a major component of both our internal work as a group, and our aims for an external communication platform for the biking and custom manufacturing community at large. We therefore organised our overall structure and discussion topics for the presentation, emailing Russell to ensure that we were progressing appropriately.

The final topics we decided to discuss in our presentation are;
Communication Platforms
Communication Strategies
Communication Responsibilities
Communication Integrity
Communication Longevity

With each topic we created visual mind maps highlighting the connections between each section and their overall relationship to Communication.

As there were five topics and six group members everyone was assigned a topic and I (the one left without a topic) organised and edited the video content. The video consisted of an interview of all our group members discussing the communication strategies we have been using throughout our progress on the project and what could be improved. Below is one of the mind maps I made;

 

Additionally this week we continued mdoelling on our individual solidworks parts. I have had a few hiccups this week with my modeling parts. Solidworks is still a learning curve for me so I am trying to get through it by watching youtube tutorials and asking the other group members.
