Overview: The third step of our capstone project, we focused on making revisions to our project proposals, speaking and communicating ideas with our mentor, and continued to further our research in order to identify more of the specifics of our project to move the process along. We then used our information to help finalize our project proposal, which can be seen below. Along with this, we also created a slideshow presentation to present to the STEM coordinator, Mrs. Stafford, in order to propose our idea and get approval and insight for the project. We discussed our design possibilities, problem definition, cost estimates, materials needed, and more.

Reflection: 

I think I really improved on my collaboration skills. I also think I did well with comparing and connecting the parts even though my organization was not the best.  I was really able to apply critical thinking in this project because there were so many new ideas and topics.  I very much improved on my collaboration skills because at a certain point I understood that different groups means doing different things.Trying to think about my general plan more before starting next time because I really didn’t know what I was getting into going into this and I think just having a little bit more of an idea of what it may look like it’s going to be really helpful. I also kind of struggled with the inability to research parts it kind of became difficult for me to be totally sure of some of the parts or what they did simply because I couldn’t really figure out everything about other projects/reaches and their results.
