Playing with Legos

Today was lots of fun and very productive.

We started out the day by coding for a little bit and really wanted to get to designing our experiment. So we worked fast! :) We began by testing the Lego set-up and discovered that it worked very well. We even designed some boards and took pictures of them. The goal is to pick out a specific Lego block among the others, while the data will be collected and analyzed for search patterns. we created three different designs, but they can all be rotated and flipped to produce many more. The whole thing is similar to a Where's Waldo type of game but not exactly the same. Another option we thought of was combining two blocks and making the subject look for that configuration, which would give us different data. The ideas for the keys and the coins were not tested today but we plan to test these tomorrow. Hopefully they will be as productive as the Legos were today.

We spent the rest of the time designing the power point which would be used for testing. It works very well on the big screen but we still have to fix some color issues. We still have to work on incorporating the key experiment into this test though, but we have to do some pre-testing however that will help us to conduct or experiment properly. Other than that we are well on our way to experimentation, we just have to test some other things and fix a few things along the way. I love playing with Legos!!

Keep it classy,
