Crowdsourcing

So today was possibly the most fun class I've had in college so far.
We played a few games trying to get people to think about crowdsourcing and how it can be a useful way to solve problems.  One group made  us play a game designed to teach the importance of sharing, or else the other members of the group would be killed off- it was funny to see how different groups treated the game differently, some being dominated by greedy fishermen and others cooperating so that everyone survived and got skittles in the end.

We also played the game where everyone in a group holds hands and tries to unfold back into a circle. We made multiple attempts, and although much fun and loud laughter was had in the hallways, I don't think either group ever fully got finished. But the key to that game also was teamwork; each person had to help each other out and talk through how to get untangled.
