SAP Field Trip Reflection Journal

Today on 3/7/19, I had a field trip with my web design class to SAP in New York City, Manhattan. My web design class and I went to that field trip to work on our create task and get advice from professionals so that we could improve ourselves as programmers. Once we got into the building, we set up our laptops and began to work on our create task, a computer science college exam. After we got pizza for lunch, we listened to some lectures from the the staff that worked in the building. They were talking about design thinking and sci-fi thinking. For design thinking, they encouraged outlandish and extravagant ideas that should be built upon one after the other. The staff also discussed the iterative process of design and how to start designing. For sci-fi thinking, they encouraged the class to think about the future and what could be invented in the future. The staff wanted each and every one of us to think of an innovation that could be invented, the availability of the innovation or its components, and the demand for the innovation. Also, they talked about their lives and how it impacted their lives. They took some questions and answered it in a lengthy manner. After the lectures, we got back to the create task or ate more pizza. After a while, we went back to school to go home.
