Problem Solving Skills

In this assignment, we are required to create our own toy/object of play. I've gained Discipline Specific Knowledge throughout this assignment. For example, I had to create my own toy/object of play from scratch using the 5 stage given which was EMPATHY,DEFINE,IDEATION,PROTOTYPE,PRESENT. I was also assigned a body part which was hand and wrist. By doing this assignment I have learned more information about hand and wrists.

Through this assignment, I have gained intrapersonal skills. I have learned to be discipline on doing the assignment. Finding the information online and doing research by myself have helped me to be independent in doing the assignment. I was also able to focus on doing the assignment for a long time which have trained my concentration on doing work.

This assignment has definitely trained our problem solving skills as we were required to thinking of how do we create our own toy/object of play. We then also had to create our own ideas on toys or object of play from scratch.
