Overall I really enjooyed this project, my group was fun to work with and I think the unit/topic was very interesting. My group consisted of me, Oliva, and Reese. We worked hard to get the project done and how we wanted it, though we had some time constraints. We did get it done and working in the end though, which was very good!
Each one of us had important pieces throughout the project to make sure we finished it all on time and working. During this project I would say two of my peaks were in critical thinking and communication. Throughout this project we had come across many bumps in the road, questioning if we were going to be able to get out project to work. This led me and my group to have to really problem solve and think about how we could modify and change things to get it to work without problems. We were each able to think about what we think would fix our issues within the project. Using each of our ideas and the help of Mrs. Vogl we were able to fix the problems and make our energy device even better. I feel like I was also able to easily communicate with my group my ideas and what questiosn I had. Making it easier to communicate with people I know and get the work done faster. We were able to share our ideas and brainstorm what we think was going wrong and what is best. Throughout the project I was able to help finish blueprints and make sure we got the proof of efficacy and actual circuit done in time.
Some areas I think I could improve on for next time is conscientous learner and character. For next time I think I can focus more on managing my time more wisely. I think my group and I wasted a bit too much time in the brainstorming process and not enouhg planning and building. Leading us to not have enough time to make modifications to the project and fix it better. I think using my time bettet next time would help me make a better project in the end because I would be able to focus on other things than just the idea of the project. Using more time to create and perfect our porject for next time. One other area I would say I can improve on is my growth mindset. I think due to some wasted time I was kind of stuck with the idea that we wouldn't be able to get the project done in time. I felt like I wasn't able to get everything done on time or as well as I want. Once I was able to ask questions and think about how to fix it with my group I think that changed. For next time I think I will try to not get stuck in that mindset of not able to get it all done.
