In our class this week we presented our ideas for the project from the powerpoint we had made the previous week. The three ideas we ended up presenting were as follows: an escape room, a cake off, or “Inside the Ross.” While we discussed a couple of other ideas, these were the main three we enjoyed the most, or had the most potential. In the presentation, however, we determined that “Inside the Ross” wasn’t going to work as it wasn’t interactive enough. Unfortunately, my favorite idea was the Escape Room idea and that one didn’t make the final cut either. I thought it would have been really interesting to see behind the scenes of an escape room, although there was a possibility that would not have been allowed. While we moved beyond that idea, I did find the notion of building our own alternative escape room very interesting. I have worked as a camp counselor for a few years and have had to make way more scavenger hunts for children than I would care to admit, so I think that aspect of it would have been interesting.
The idea we are deciding to go with is the cake off. This sound like it could potentially be an exciting project, as well. The only setback being space available to make the cakes. I like both the ideas of taking a class but for only half the group, as well as adding in a notion of “Nailed It” and trying to recreate/ failing to recreate difficult cakes. Now we have to start looking for possible classes to take and cake styles to recreate.
