Welcome to the last week for Little Big Engineers! On Friday of this week, from 6-10pm, we welcomed guests to our project room to experience Return of the Dragon, our interactive walkthrough attraction. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves- plenty of last-minute work got us to this point!
This week was our soft opening, and a huge amount of crunch went into getting us ready for faculty feedback on Wednesday and Thursday. We achieved a ton of things very quickly, so let’s get into it!
This week was Thanksgiving, which meant that everything was a little different on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Luckily, only two of us were traveling out of Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving, and Nolan’s travel back to his hometown actually worked in our favor. We ended up each having at least one workday during the break, and are much closer to executing our original vision now. We are feeling ready for our soft opening next week!
It’s Playtest Day week! Everything was focused this week on getting the entirety of Rooms 1-3 ready to playtest with complete strangers on Saturday.
It’s Fall Break, but the Little Big Engineers toil on. Because the whole team will be gone for IAAPA in Week 11, and Lori will also be gone for two days of Week 10 for the Toronto Metropolitan University Thrill Design Invitational, we worked a modified core hours schedule while our classmates were away. Despite no faculty in the building and no playtesters to be found, it was still a very productive week, and we were actually able to work efficiently enough for a four-day weekend!
