The actual sport/open day/concert

This will occur in every open day. There will be posters made before it happens since Vega is situated with creative sudents. The posters will be placed at Varsity college and the colleges under it. This will create a good relationship between other schools.

This event can be organised to be in a specific venue which is affordable. There will be a certain program made.
PROGRAM: there will be competitions between colleges, there will be a time when childhood games take place and than popular performer who once attended Vega will perform.

What did I do?
I found out what people like and came up with an idea that will satisfy them, this open day will be a mixture of the things they like.
What did I learn?
TV, newspaper, internet, social network can be a good way to solve problems.
Reflection- it took me a lot of research to come up with this solution for boredom in Vega college. For learning unit 1 steal like an artist we did the same thing we has to do research, steal ideas from people and make that idea origional which is the same thing.I did to come up with this event. I also combined ideas, and came up with the event just like the assemblage. I did what people will like and also limited the event program by not forgetting the college rules.

process for vega vibes

There is a process for every event that takes place and especially  if it is the beginning of something. There must be a new active SLB group that will committe themselves to making Vega a fun place. To make a open day with popular people needs planning.

The students should also be part of the group and have suggestions for the event. Sport activities can be combined the the event that will take place, because now we know what the Vega students want.


  • There should be contributions such as fund raisings from students, lecturers and the Vega management team.
  • Funds can be collected in different ways by just having a ticket for the open day can help and also inviting other colleges.
Reflection - I stole like an artist, from my research I found out about ways to make a campus fun and I used it in our open day.

Vega should merge with Varsity college and other colleges under it.
what did I do? I looked back to my research and came up with an idea.
What did I learn? that research is important for new ideas.


Vega vibe

What did I do?
I did secondary and primary research. I used the internet and found out that campuses have different ways of keeping their campus vibe good. I asked Vega students if they would like these activities to occur.

What did I learn?

  • You can use the internet to get ideas to solve your own problems.
  • The games that we used to play such as monopoly, 30 seconds occur in campus and the Vega students like them to occur.
  • Having fun can contribute to a person's health, if a person is going through a rough patch which no one knows about they can be healed through playing games.
  • Planning something lead to success all the research done contributes to the solutions.

Reflection
When students in a campus plan about events they keepup with the rules which is a limitation to them, but at the end of the day the rules are there so that nothing goes wrong. Creativity is subtraction, when you limit yourself or work under pressure success occurs.

Fun and Vega

Solution

I have found out that people who used to be in the Vega institute have spreaded their wings such a rapper called 'malumekulcat'. This is indeed a greater opportunity for our campus to be made a fun place. To make boost the vibe in campus there should be events done where previous students who are well known to perform.During every open  day there must be performers.

What did I do?

  • I watched a tv show in SABC1 called selimathunzi. It is all about celebritied, I wanted to get ideas for the blog and I ended up finding out that some popular people are coming from Vega.
  • I did research about making a fun place, which lead me to finding out that the youth love music and this could be a good way. 

What did I learn?
I learnt that research can be done in different ways, even by watching tv.

Reflection
Creativity subtraction. Instead of looking around for famous people who will charge too much money we can invite students who have made by Vega to boost the campus vibe. We will be limiting ourselves but at the end of the day we won't lose money. When you limit yourself you produce something good.

sport activities

What did I do?

  • I examined the campus. 
  • I interviwed female students because they were mostly affected. Sport is only available for male which is just soccer.

What did I learn?

  • From my research, I gained knowlegde about exercising, found out about disease caused about not exercising.
  • I must exercise every day.
  • The childhood mean everything, students miss playing games even lecturers. They miss sports they played in high school.

Reflection

  • I asked people in Vega what they wanted to do I used the concept of do what you like. 

CROSSING

What did I do?
I did primary research at the Vega campus. I interview students asking them of the problems they are facing in the premises of Vega. The problem was crossing the road by the gate. I went to see it myself and examined the cars speed.

What did I learn?
  • When I was asking students to be interviewed I learned that some didn't want to talk about their, they told me their problems are personal.
  • Students are afraid to talk about their problem, they are scared of the consequences or of what people will say.
  • They ignore you, I learned that in order for people to listen to what you want to say you have to address them in a certain way or style. You have to begin by researching about the audience.
  • It is much better to use social network to do interview or any other primary research. 
Reflection
  • The assemblage is made out of all the things that a person loves, but only one item is made. I listed all the problems that students have about crossing the road at the campus gate and found solutions from all of this I found that the problem is just about 'safety'. The same way that a assemblage is made.

Vega vibe

The youth of this century is inlove with music, commedy, to wrap this up they are obsessed with celebrities. The SLB group can organise musicians to perform in each open day.

Plan
This needs budjet, it can only workout if everyone works together to avoid financial issues. There can be activities done to raise funds for this open day:

  • Market day
  • There can simply be tickets to be in the open day
  • Donation forms
  • Car wash
  • Raffle
  • Design things and sell them

Vibe Ideas
There are many solutions that could solve the Vega problem of boredom. The SLB group needs new people with fresh new ideas. The youth is not all about drinking alcohol, they enjoy playing or competing with each other. The load of work that students get ends up stressing them, but if there was a day where they will relax their minds can make a huge difference.

I am stealing like an artist on friday I got impressed, the students were watching a movie in a computer lab using the projector. To make this more interesting each and every friday there should be either:
Ideas:
  • Day off to the beach together
  • Monopoly day
  • Friday movie
  • Dance party
  • Crazy fashion friday
  • Workout
  • Gym
  • Puzzle
  • Paint

Research

Primary research is the best way to find people's wants in a place. People need to be addressed in different ways because not everyone can  adapt in a same way. Using the internet or any other secondary resource can be helpful but not in every situation. I advise the SLB group to rather do primary research so that they  don't endup giving the students what they don't like at all, they must look at the  target audience.

PRIMARY RESEARCH
The target audience is the youth. The Vega campus has majority of between 17-26 year old students. The campus is surrounded by people who are aware of technology so the best way for the SLB group to do research is using the social media.


  • Observation: this is when you observe the behaviour of the students. This blog is about making Vega a fun campus so by just observing how the students talk, walk and also their mood, you will tell if they can't wait to leave or they love being in campus.
  • Focus groups: assemble a small group of 8-12 students and gather information and opinions about how they will like the campus  to be and find the things that they will like to be involved in. This can be done in social networks, such as facebook, whatsapp etc. The whole point is to get people talking, if they won't open up in person you might as well address them in their style.
  • Interview: a one on one discussion can make them open up because some students get shy to raise a point in front of people. To avoid nerves this can also be done in social networks.
  • Survey/ questionnaire: This can be done and given to students as handouts for everyone to do, so that no one's opinions are left out. This can also be done using the social media.
This is a good concept of doing primary research for solving boredom in campus
  • Using social networks
  • The SLB group must create a facebook account the wall can be made specifically for this boredom issue. Specific students that are popular in campus must be tagged. People endup commenting.
