Collaborating & Creative Thinking

My Artifact: This is my Rube Goldberg Machine

During this project, I demonstrated collaboration, and creative thinking by working with a group and being patient. For this assignment my group had to create a Rube Goldberg machine using 6 energy transfers and 3 different energy transformations, the machine’s use was to move the cup of coffee closer. This project was a representation of collaboration because I worked in a group, we all had to come to an agreement regarding how our machine would work, I also asked questions to the teacher on anything I wasn’t sure of. I practiced creative thinking by figuring out the best strategy, it was frustrating because we had to retry multiple times before it worked, every time setting it back up, it took time and a lot of patience. Overall, all the hard work was worth it once it finally worked, this project was exciting and definitely tested my patience.
