Team Building with a Tennis Ball


Challenge:


  • pass a tennis ball to each member of your team as fast as you can

  • No constriants for first experiment

  • For the second experiment only one team member can touch the ball at a time

  • The third experiment only one team member may touch the ball at a time and each member has to be arms lengthen apart

The Plan:



  • First Experiment: We all got into a circle and put our hands in the middle. Then using our hands that made the platform we created we just rolled the ball around.

  • Second Experiment: We still stayed in a circle, but we just dropped the ball into each others hands.

  • Third Experiemnt: My group stretched out the circle until we were arm lengthen apart and passed the ball around like we were playing hot potato

Execution:

  • First Experiment:was fast and ver efficient
  • Second Experiment: was efficient, but was at a moderate speed
  • Third Experiment: Was pretty fast, but how we plaaned to pass the ball made it very inaccurate

Changes:

  • First Experiment: I would make no changes becasue it was the fastest and easiest way to ge tthe ball around
  • Second Experiment: I would change it to make the ball roll down our hands like a set of stairs
  • Third Experiment I would keep the same set up, but toss the ball underhanded to make it more accurate so it doesn't go all over the place

  1. This format is very effective at quickly communicating your key points. Not exactly what was asked but it captures the iterative nature of the process.
