ETC+Field+Trip

=ETC Field Trip = As you all know on Friday March 26th we will be taking most of you to the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University. We will be taking a tour of the facility and meeting with faculty members and students about the programs offered there.

This trip is part of the project and you will be expected to gather information about the programs offered and how they relate to your aptitude. Take some time right NOW and look at the ETC website. You should know by Friday what the ETC is all about. On Friday each group will be issued a flip video camera. There will be 6 groups, Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Meaning and Play. So you will have to share with six people. You will be taking video of things that apply to your aptitude, not just random nonsense. You will be required to include these videos in your final presentations as well as include what you learned from the ETC and its relation to your group aptitude.

1. Research the ETC site. 2. Brainstorm some thoughts in your team discussion boards about what you may see that applies to your aptitude or what you should be looking for. 3. Brainstorm some questions that you might have on Friday. Prepare, prepare, prepare!
