Lego Day Teamwork




It is a known fact that teamwork is necessary for many points of business and creation. As amazing as a person may be by themselves, it is arguable that they will never be as powerful alone as with a team of people. 

Everybody has a very unique set of talents and abilities that is always going to be different from their peers'. This variety can always help to approach a single project from different angles, so that it isn't completed in such a linear fashion. Teamwork will also often help to get projects finished faster with the same amount of quality, giving time to polish it.


Today we practiced some forms of teamwork by constructing Lego sets. One person would somehow guide us, them being the only person in a 4-person group who would know what the finished product should look like. That person had to either silently show the rest of the group what to do, or had to describe it. It was slightly difficult, but certainly applied the idea of teamwork, as we were all working on the Lego set to make it as quickly and as well as possible.

e9 Risk Website


Throughout this project, I learned a lot of things. It was a useful experience, and there were many things that may help me in the future. Although I had done a decent amount with the CSS options in the past, this project taught me how to alter and have a more particular setting through the code itself. This helped since I had a better understanding of how the code was actually being carried out and I was then able to know how to alter more minute pieces of the website.

I personally don't believe there was much wrong with my website. It followed all of the regulations that were set, and I think that I had a very pleasant color scheme for the situation.

One thing I might change is the position of the header and sidebar. I admit that they do seem a little awkward, but they certainly aren't as bad as some websites. I also might change exactly which colors are where, as I think they are very harmonious but may be better used in different sections.

Another thing might be the lack of a particularly customized header, as I kept it solely with its text.
