Final Blogpost :)

Wow, it's the final post. This quarter has definitely flew by. Overall, I think this project was pretty great because it gave us a lot of freedom to pinpoint a problem at our school and conduct a thorough experiment in an attempt to fix it. It was a lot of work at times, but it was without a doubt worth trying to give back to our school in some small way. One thing that didn't go as well as we would've liked was how we were unable to deploy on our designated day, but it was ultimately out of our hands because it had to do with the Dr. Chun's dinner with the boarders. Also, at times, it was hard to coordinate with our group, since we're all so busy, but in the end we all contributed a lot and were able to work together effectively. I think something that went well was how we were pretty much on time for most of the project, and I believe the findings from our project are significant now and possibly for future projects. I learned that there will always be problems out in the world, but there will also always be possibilities to fix them. How effective those solutions are depends on dedication and the desire to improve. I also learned that there's a lot possible with cooperation. I think that this project is a really great activity, and my only suggestion would be to make it an actual class for students that could focus all of their attention on improving the school, since students are the ones who can see problems that other people wouldn't have been able to identify. On another note, Mr. Blake always says that physics is all around us, which we learned in the last three quarters by doing weekly blogposts relating things in our lives to physics principles. Throughout the process of our project, I noticed a few things that could possibly be related to physics, such as inverse relationships. Also, the entire project was pretty much a scientific experiment. At the presentations on Friday, I saw how many other groups related their projects to physics well, and I realized that some projects related more to physics than others. Although our project could be connected to physics in some respects, it wasn't as related to physics as other groups' projects were. 

Now I bet you're wondering about the picture I chose for this post. Well, it's an image depicting the members of my group, Sean, Joe, and Austin, on one of the first days we worked together, during our interview with Mr. Morris. I feel that we've grown a lot since then, both as students and as a group. We worked well together, and I can honestly say that I've had such a good time being around them. They're all really talented, and I feel privileged to have been able to work with them. Out of all the things I've gained from this project, I'm especially appreciative to have gotten to become friends with the guys in the picture above.
