In this project we were tasked to create an outdoor furniture design for the San marin campus. We didn't have a budget limit and we were allowed to be as creative as we wanted. My group decided to do a double sided bench with backpack space beneath and sitting space on top. We found that we can fit around 8-10 people on the bench at once.
We went around the San Marin campus and explored the places we could put our bench design. We found that the best possible spot we could get was between the baseball and football fields. A lot of other sports beside football are played on the football field, including soccer, lacrosse, etc. And baseball is on the other side. Since our design is 2 sided, you can watch either!

Reflection:
One thing I did well was using my time well. I feel like I did this a lot better than last project.
I learned that I can stay on task more and even have free time if I finish the project early. As long as I stay on task I can accomplish a lot more.
I think that something I need to work on more for the next project is collaboration with other people. I wish I got the know my group members better while working.
Something else I need to work on is sharing my ideas. I think I could have been a better group member if I shared my ideas more.
