My overall thoughts on this project was that it was great. I enjoyed researching and putting together an idea and making it into an action. This showed me that I could change Kamehameha for the better. This was also an educational project as well as a fun project. I got to experience presenting a presentation in the Kamehameha Schools Auditorium.

Things that went well were that we actually made a prototype laptop bag that could solve the problem of cracked screens. Also I feel like our presentation went very well. We all had speaking parts and explained our project in great detail. We pulled together as a team in the end and ultimately won over the crowd.

The things that did not go as planned, was our first plan for our bag. Since we didn't have an industrial sized sewing machine, we couldn't build our first design. Also sometimes blog posts were not posted on time by the right people. Another thing was getting the material. This was a challenge because some of us didn't have the transportation.

I learned how to build a laptop. I also learned that we can do small things to make Kamehameha a better place. I learned how to be a part of a team and that it takes everyone's cooperation to make a successful group. Also I learned time management because if we didn't turn in one of the assignments, it affected our grade exponentially. Also we learned how to be punctual because if we went over time, our grade would be affected.

I'd like to see a change in the amount of time given to brainstorm an idea, and implement. I felt that we were rushed into picking the laptop bag and if allocated more time, maybe a better idea would have came out of our group. Also if we could have had more time to implicate the idea. One because it would help us to make a more solid design and two because it would help us to gather more data to see if our idea was a success.

I felt that I was sorta doing science. But not really, but now that I think about it, I feel like this was very physics related because we had to calculate the amount of padding to cushion the fall so that the screen would break. Also we tried to find the force on the screen that was needed for it to crack.
