ESP 103 PROJECTS

Tangible records of creative friction

Eight weeks of raw mockups, various sticky-note brainstorms, and messy physical prototypes from the ESP 103 class

Core Assignments

The projects that changed me.

Project 01 - The Hidden Project

Who am I talking to?

This project was hidden within the syllabus and due before class even started. This project shows my timid first steps into the class. I only dipped my toes in because I wasn't sure what assignments in this class would be like. Even though I chose a safe output, I am still proud of the work I did because it brings in multiple elements of myself.

Project 02 - Mentor Insight

Captain's Playbook - Jay Greenlees

Through this interview, I gained many valuable insights. He showed me what it means to be an effective captain for himself and those around him. Through the information I learned in this interview, I created a playbook that can be accessed here: https://canva.link/54bc6oeol17t7er

Project 03 - Curiosity Epic Quest

MUDEC Student Day-in-the-life

As a Miami University student, I am very interested in participating in the study-abroad semester trip. As one of my interests, I decided to explore it through this project, and I learned so much. To the right, you will see the timeline I made for a day in the life of a MUDEC student.

Project 04 - GOOSE CHASE

Ultimate Out of Your Comfort Zone

For this we were tasked on using the app GooseChase in order to complete a various of crazy activities that would push us greatly out of our comfort zone. Tasks such as the screen shot from my video of being a statue in public for 30 seconds.

For this assignment, we were tasked with creating a Rube Goldberg Machine with our FYIC group. This was difficult with the limited supplies in our dorms, but we worked together to build a machine that worked.

Project 05 - Rube Goldberg

Project 06 - The Failure Project

Improving Through Failure

In this project, we explored an experience where we felt we had failed. I chose a friendship breakup because it stays on my mind. Through this project, I worked through what I still believe about this failure. You can access the whole presentation here: https://canva.link/le0vk5qjsnfeps8

Project 07 - Ten Days of Creativity

Learning New Ways of Creativity

This assignment was a ten-day process of straight creativity. As the days went on, the activities pushed you further and further out of your comfort zone. We did things like brainstorm 50 bad ideas and find the great ones within them, while also being a campus oracle. Each day brought a new realm of funniness into my life.
