Innovation Day Reflection
Hi, Everyone,
Today we presented our innovation day projects. If you have been keeping up with my blog you would have seen my first post about innovation day this year.
The Problem
Our main problem that was the hardest to solve was the water wheel. We had to try to make everything even and it wouldn’t stand. It was so hard to solve, but we did it. The real problem that we had to solve as a class in our little groups was this: How can we provide electricity to community outdoor spaces that still maintains the fun and safety aesthetics of the space?
Our Hypothesis
This is what our hypothesis is on our poster board. “We hypothesize that combining solar energy and water energy can make an Amusement park with a waterslide and a rollercoaster. Our idea is that the water from a waterslide will enter a pool and go into a water energy wheel. The energy will go to the rollercoaster and 50% of the water from the energy wheel will go back on a conveyor belt using solar energy. The water will return to the slide ready for the next run.” Guess what it all turned out so well!
Materiel
Our material is pretty simple. We used
- Cardboard tubes
- Plastic food container
- Cardboard box
- Paper
- Tri-fold board
- Clay
- LOTS AND LOTS OF DUCT TAPE
- Glue guns
Procedure
Everything went pretty well in our group. The main problem for us was communication. A member of my group and I were really good at doing this, except there was one person in our group who liked being with his friends and doing the work alone. The procedure to make it was okay. We probably could have done better with covering up the duct tape if we had enough time. We NEVER argued, everything was pretty easy rolling
Conclusion
My conclusion is I had an awesome time, it was really fun. I Can’t wait for next year. For next time I think I could do better at using less duct tape.[Or maybe cover it up]. To be honest we barely used any hot glue. Everything turned out well and happy in the end, and the presentation went almost perfect.
