Things that went well:
I thought that many things went well during the project. First of all, we all learned new things. We learned some contruction skills, and learned how to solve problems while working in a group. We also had fun working on this project, which was good because it allowd us to enjoy the work that we were doing. Another thing that went well is that we were able to get our vehicle to improve. In the start, we couldn't get our vehicle to move at all, but we used our problem-solving skills and were able to find a solution for that problem. Even on race day, when things weren't going as expected, we were able to think on our feet and were able to make our vehicle improve each time. These are just some of the things that went well on this fun project!
Future recommendations:
There are a few recommendations I would make to future students doing this project. I would first tell students to be very open with ideas in their groups, and to get along with your group members, because things go much more smoothly when everyone is getting along. I would also recommend that everyone try their hardest and not make one or two people do all the work. If everyone tries hard, then it just allows you to come up with a better vehicle.
I would also recommend for people to research before they start building. This is because once you start building, you don't really want to trash what you have and start all over, so it means you are basically stuck with what you have. If you get it right the first time, then it makes everything go much more smoothly and allows you to have a vehicle that goes far. I would recommend that people use parts from a toy car that was already existing. The best cars in the class were the ones that had axles and wheels that were already made up, not ones that they built themselves. I know this because our problem was that our axles shifted around and rubbed, which caused resistance, which meant that our vehicle couldn't go that far.
