CR07

First off I'd like to say that the founders from Cobego coming in to talk to us was quite interesting, but, they seemed to drag on about most of the things that they talked about. As much as I'd like to say that their presentation impressed me, it lacked a form of professionalism, and just seemed too conversational (which of course allowed them to trail off on billion other things). I did find their concept ideas and the steps that they showed us to be fascinating though, and taking a second, closer look at the powerpoint, I especially like their concept on the new fire hydrant. I also felt that the inclusion of studying abroad to be a bit unnecessary for their presentation, though studying abroad is considered a big opportunity to the college experience it just lacked a strong connection to the rest of the topics they spoke about. The marshmallow tower experiment was interesting though, especially the video explaining different experiences by different fields of study (designers and architects having best designs, business having less, except in the case of a CEO on the team). The most surprising thing about that being the overall success of children over adults, with nearly all of the childrens' designs standing at the end of the allotted time. Overall the presentation, despite the few small dislikes about it, was very informative and continued to inspire me to pursue this field of study.
