Railroads & Trains

Reflection

I was able to find a problem very easily, the weight capacity of rails has always been a problem so it was easy to find out why it was a problem and the solutions that were used for it. Using backwards design enabled me to easily think about future rails and trains because I thought about problems we have now with trains and how we could fix them, I also asked my dad who is a train engineer and conductor for an expert opinion on what problems are in the train industry now and how we could possibly fix them. I built on his expert opinion and developed my train innovation. I was satisfied with my results due to me having an expert opinion, the information I included in my sway presentation, and the design of my presentation. I would refine my presentation by adding in more problems and solutions, and also by including some more facts. In conclusion, I really enjoyed making this innovation project and I believe I did well because I put in a lot of effort and got an expert opinion.
