We were in between working together to escape an island or laying down traps to prevent an enemy from reaching a group of people. Our goal was to have a cooperative experience where students interacted and engaged with each other to achieve a common goal. After speaking with our advisor, Ralph Vituccio, we refined the later concept to have a horde of zombies as our enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking with John, he seemed really enthusiastic about the zombie idea and even suggested that with our demographic, it might make more sense to have the middle schoolers be the zombies, which was an idea that really stuck with us. He also provided some practical effect ideas for us to try out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week some of our team also tried some more free thought brainstorming as we let our creativity run wild with Lego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_1518-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_1518-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_1518-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_1518-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_1518-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_1518-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two of our team, Harley and Esther also began work on designing our logo and half-sheet, some of the concepts you can see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/brickzone-03.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/brickzone-03.png 1000w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/brickzone-03-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/brickzone-03-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/brickzone-03-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1668\" height=\"2388\" data-id=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/d3c5e38dbb4d1418.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/d3c5e38dbb4d1418.png 1668w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/d3c5e38dbb4d1418-210x300.png 210w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/d3c5e38dbb4d1418-768x1100.png 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/d3c5e38dbb4d1418-1073x1536.png 1073w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/d3c5e38dbb4d1418-1431x2048.png 1431w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1668px) 100vw, 1668px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/week-1-january-11th-january-17th\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"220\">&lt;- Week 1<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/blog\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"11\">Return to Blogs<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/brick-zone\/week-3-january-25th-january-31st\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"231\">Week 3 -&gt;<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week was spent undergoing more ideation for the narrative and overall concept.
