Reflection:
There were many ups and downs during design step 1 but I feel that we are in a good position moving forwards. Because we had just started the project, our focus was very unknown and all over the place. But looking back my work ethic was strong during this first step. I spent a lot of time researching and talking with my group mates and family about this project. I learned a lot about carbon capture technology and what is currently being done to help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted everyday. I put a lot of my effort into the documents to make them look and sound appealing. Another thing I feel that I did well was the leadership roll I took on. Throughout high school I have struggle to be the leader in anything. Over the years I feel like I have improved so much and feel more comfortable with taking on that role. For most of the time I would make sure we all knew what to work on for the day and asked other people questions about what their ideas were for the project so we could incorporate all of our ideas. Throughout the next steps, I plan to continue my work ethic and leadership skills. One thing I wish we could have done differently was keeping our ideas broader rather then confining ourselves to a certain idea. This led us to confine our possible outcomes to a certain product. This didn't help when coming us with possible solutions for the problem because they were all the same. Another think I think we didn't do very well on was the time management. We are using a gantt chart to help us time out all the different parts but we were still struggling to get all of it finished on important due dates because the work wasn't spaced out. Next time I hope to work on our open mindness and time management.
