Activity 5: Challenging Assumptions

Assumption : It is something that we believe in, but it may or may not be true.

Warm-up Activity

We were asked to list down the assumptions we had about tea, and then we were shown a picture of 'Chaayos' that challenged the basic assumptions of tea like the packaging.

Main Activity

For the main activity we were given the simple dish, Omelette. We were to write 40 assumptions about it, and challenge one without changing the recipe.

Miro Board Link

• We decided on challenging the way of serving and the shape of the omelette.
  

• We changed the serving style to a more handy/on the go style; in the form of a cone, and in a cup.

Reflection

• Something can be assumed in 'n' number of ways.
  

• Challenging assumptions can be hard at first, since it's breaking the general norms that society has about something.

Learning mantra of the day : Don't stop at one point when assuming about something. There might be many layers under the surface.
