DONE!

In my opinion, overall this project was all right. I completely understand why it was important for us to do this project. It is important to know how to apply what we learned into our daily lives and that is what this project was basically about. However, this project was difficult because it was hard to find a good problem that we would be able to fix in such a short amount of time. Although it was difficult, my group worked really well together and shared each task fairly equally. The work that needed to be completed for this project was done by each member of the group in some way. We had a rough start to our project because of the many rejections and proposals that we had to go through. In the end we were not able to implement anything on school campus. We are not absolutely sure if Mrs. Cooke and her staff are going to install the metal strips in the near future because we never really got any clarification on it. However, I for one, have learned many lessons from this project. I learned that sometimes it takes a lot of work from more than just one person to get something done. Before starting this project, I didn't think that it would be all that hard considering we would be working with a group. I thought that we would just need to contact a few people and get some approvals. Well, we quickly learned that this project was much more difficult that we predicted. We thought that since we got approval to put the strips on the stairs that it would get implemented. But, we were wrong. Although many things weren't great about this project, I wouldn't change anything about it because it is different than sitting in a lecture and taking notes. It gets students to think more for themselves like we will eventually have to do in the real world in the near future. I hope that the upcoming Physics students that have to do this project will understand the real purpose of this project and really take it to heart. Although we were supposed to maybe learn more about science through this project, I feel as though I learned much more life skills than anything else. And that is not such a bad thing.
