Our goal was to find a world problem and solve it.
To complete the project, we first had to identify which world problem to solve, obviously. My original idea was to try to solve mass extinction, but I guess that was a bit too dark for a school project. So we looked for other ideas. Our group eventually decided to do depletion of natural resources. But we decided that was too complicated (I guess) and did traffic instead. First, we researched the problem. Then, we brainstormed several solutions, including have policemen yell "go" at drivers after a car crash is cleared. Eventually we came up with the idea of having lights on either side of the road that turn green to signal drivers stuck in traffic to go so they all go at the same time. We then made a prototype of our idea and put together this presentation to communicate our solution. We didn't really test and evaluate it, though.
In this project, I did a lot of research about the problem, made most of the above presentation, and did a bit of work on the prototype of our idea.
We didn't really use physics calculations in this project.
However, we did use the Engineering Design Cycle, which I guess is kind of the same thing..?
The Creative Engineering Design project was probably the project I performed the best in so far. Specifically, I performed well in the , work ethic and productivity and attitude and demeanor categories. I think this because I tried to remain on task for most of the time even though I sometimes didn't want to.
