Systems

The image below is the drawing I did of the Ifoundry system. I don't know much about all the other components of Ifoundry besides iefx. In the system I connected ifoundry with iefx which has two components, class and iteams. For class, which is ENG 198, this system split into two different components, lecture and labs. In lectures we learn about Goldberg's missing basics. In lab we do two projects. I noticed that we often give feedback and bring up topics from lectures into labs and vise verse. Lectures and labs, also help in our iteams. What we learn in class helps in what we do in our iteams. Feedback from lecture and labs help in developing what we want to accomplish in our iteams. There is also feedback from class that goes to ifoundry in order to make ifoundry better. This might have unintended consequences because what our class might think is bad/good, other students in the future might disagree with us. I also connected ifoundry with icommunity. Icommunity is what iefx goes to every Thursday in order to become more connected to the community. Icommunity gives visitor speakers that speak about various topics. I then connected the visitor speakers to building networks. Building networks is what connects most of the aspects of the ifoundry system. iteams help in building networks, conferences that ifoundry does help in building networks, and the visitor speakers at icommunity help in building network. This was a surprising revelation to me because I never thought of all the connections I was making while being in iefx. This is a good unintended consequence in that everything that happens in Ifoundry somehow connects to building networks or connections. Every action that happens in the iteams relates to how we view the class, for example if we have a great insight into a project we are doing and this insight is further helped in what we are learning in class, we might start paying more attention to what we are learning in class and view class in a new light. A light in which the class helps in the various projects we want to contribute. The system of ifoundry is complex, with conferences, iefx, icommunity, and other various connections and events connected to the system that is ifoundry. Ifoundry is a system in which everything feedbacks onto each other. Class in iefx feedback into iteams, conferences, icommunity, and to ifoundry again with the feedback forms of how to improve the class. Every aspect in the system of ifoundry helps in building connections, networks, and learning more about ourselves through the iteams, class, icommunity, and other events. Ifoundry feedbacks on itself and ultimately outputs good actions in the community that is iefx.
