Evidence of work:
The do it better project is a chance to make any other project we did even better than before. We chose to redo the solve a world problem or the creative engineering design cycle. I joined Gigi, Kiki, and Izzy's group. They were trying to create an alternative to smoking that wasn't so addicting. This time we are trying to educate people about the dangers of smoking and trying to help people who need it.

Content:
Identify the need - The first thing we did as a class was that we made a huge list of any world problem. Then, we got into groups and chose one problem to base the project off of.
Research problem - Next, we researched our problem. We looked up some information and data on smoking.
Develop possible solutions - After researching we brainstormed possible solutions to the problem, no matter how wild they were.
Select the most promising solution - We chose the one solution that was most promising and one that we would be able to finish in two weeks.
Construct a prototype - Our next step was to create our presentation to educate people about the effects of smoking and who to call for help.
Communicate design - We presented our project in front of the class in the form of a powerpoint.
Redesign - Throughout the whole project we had to keep changing our final goal because we would figure out that some things wouldn't work out.
Repeat - We would need to go back a research some more information because we kept changing our direction.
Reflection:
This project was really fun and I think we did a good job on it. I feel like we did good with staying on task and making sure we had all the right materials. We wanted to make this project the best out of all of them so we tried are best to make sure we had everything we needed to fully complete the project. We could have worked on making the project flow better and work better together. Other than that I think we did a really good job on our last project of the year.
