Our fifth day at Lenovo started as usual with a meeting with Greyson. He ran us through our schedule for the day and sent us on our way. Our first activity was a presentation from the UXD team (User Experience Design). They walked us through the entire UXD process, from the realization of an issue, the ideation of a solution, all the way to publishing that solution to the consumers. To get us in the zone for designing, they introduced a fun activity called Squiggle Birds. In this mini project, each person would draw some completely random squiggles on a sheet of paper and pass it to the person on our left. That person would then have to make the squiggles into a bird through whatever means necessary. At first, it was tough to make abstract lines resemble the flying animal, but with some persistence, we succeeded.
During this meeting, Mrs. Jones stopped by to check in on us! Greyson then gave her a tour of where we were working and the building. We finished up our meeting with the UXD team and returned to our desk to finish up our presentations and go to lunch.
Once we got back, Ray Chen, the gaming UX designer from our second day at Lenovo, interviewed us about how we use technology at school. To end the day, we presented our powerpoints from last week. These ranged from our reviews of new Legion gaming hardware to bug testing of Lenovo’s migration assistant.
