QuickFires

(Adapted From the MAET Year 1 course page, 2018)

What is a Quickfire? 

A challenge + constraints + a time limit.

The challenges are related to our coursework, or ask us to look at concepts in a new way.  The constraints include time, but also a small set of rules to push your thinking. (It comes from Top Chef)

Why Quickfires? 

So that you create something,  and there is the possibility of failure.  An important part of our work together is making things, trying it out, learning as we go, and accepting failure as part of the process.
