Looking back

The first day we all got to know each other, Enviu and the project of The Hague. Hotze Hofstre, Andre Everts and Ralph de Schipper were representing the municipality of the city The Hague. They told us all about the project and even showed us the area, Erasmusveld, by bicycle. Our group exists out of 12 students and young professionals.

To get to know each other we got a teambuilding assignment. First the group was split into two groups. While the first group was working on the assignment the other would observe and the other way around.We had to construct a ‘marslander’, a space shuttle which could handle a drop of two meters high. The Marslander was build out of 10 straws and one meter of tape. It had to protect the raw egg from exploding while landing. Unfortunately both eggs didn’t survive the trip but fun we had and bonding it was!

Now a week later in the middle of the process, it is apparent that we have a good team. The mix of characters blend extremely well as decisions are made unanimously and this mix of different backgrounds insure creativity. Critical thinking has lead to interesting discussions. All of which comprise a good foundation for creating innovative ideas!
