When the module first started, we were all grouped together randomly. Later on, we found out that the
groups for group projects are divided up so that each group has at least one local student, according to
Vikas, who once noted that this cohort has a diverse percentage of 60% international students. It was
clarified that the local students were mixed in with the international students so that group projects
pertaining to Singaporean lifestyle and culture, a subject that international students did not have a
thorough understanding of, could be guided with the help of local students.
So, when this project began and we had to start brainstorming ideas, we were experimenting with the
quantified self concept and the things we each possessed that were similar yet distinct. We then discussed
cultural differences because Ayda, who is from Indonesia, Choa from South Korea, and Jiat, who is from here, all
originate from various areas. We came up with the idea of "breaking through cultural barriers" as a homage
to accept diversity and account for cultural differences. Here are our Ideation, Explorations, Outcomes and Presentations.

This project, titled "Blending Barriers," is also known as "Mixing of Barriers," as can be seen on some of the graphics.
