Curricular Competencies Reflection

I chose this project because it gave me a better understanding of the issues that Indigenous peoples have had to face and continue to face. This project allowed me to look at the Indigenous perspective and colonization in a different light. I inspected articles on the true story of Pocahontas and determined if they were authentic then, if they were, I contrasted them with Disney’s version of Pocahontas.

Core Competencies Reflection

This essay allowed me to grow my ability to creatively come up with conclusions and my own opinions on issues. I was able to look at two pieces of media and critically come up with which one was the more accurate piece. I was also able to help others if they needed input on their ideas.

Thinking

Whenever my group and I couldn’t think of any ideas on what to build, which was often, we would bounce ideas back and forth to find something that we liked and wanted to build. If someone had an idea, unless it was something that we knew would absolutely not work, we would try it to see if we could add it to our machine. If something that we tried didn’t work, we would try to change the idea to work and see if we could incorporate it into our machine.

This is the video of our completed Rube Goldberg experiment. We tried a lot of different approaches to complete this project. Some of our ideas were scraped, but most of them were added to the machine.
