Shipwreck Challenge

 

I think that personally, I enjoyed getting to work with a team to accomplish different things. It was fun to get to work with different groups throughout the day, some groups large, some groups small. My biggest challenge was definately trying hard not to completely take over my group, because I tend to like knowing that I’m in charge. Our ship was successful, because it had extremely high walls, so unless it started flooding, it would stay afloat. To make it more successful, we could add water channels underneath to allow the boat to move and not just stay in one place. My group tended to work pretty well together, and when we all focused, we made a great team. I think one of our strengths was that we all had generally the same ideas, so it was easy to come to a conclusion, and work quickly towards a common goal. I think one of our weaknesses was that even after we’d decided on a design, we didn’t always double-check everything with the rest of our group, first, so our design ended up being a little rushed. Overall, the Shipwreck Challenge was an amazing experience, and I’m glad we all had the chance to participate.
