Our Project and what it was
The type of renewable energy source we picked was wind energy, the source of power for our whole city was a windmill, the electricity generated from the windmill was taken and the voltage was increased through a series of step up transformers and then distributed to the homes in our city.
Communication
Our group did well even though we ran into multiple problems due to our schedules we were able to set a clear goal and split up the tasks well which led to our ability to finish the project to a good standard before the deadline, even when we ran into problems such as coming up with different forms of energy that we can use we were able to add new sources such as HVAC’s, etc. .
Thinking
Jeros’ ability for creative thinking really helped us solve some of the problems that we had such as figuring out a way to portray the inside workings of the windmill as he showed us a mod that we could use to help us which is why we were able to make a working windmill, as well as recording the video when we ran into a problem.
Personal + Social
I contributed quite a bit to the project as I had made the buildings on the map and the power grid, what I learned from this project was that I need to split the tasks after I figure out each members strengths and weaknesses as well as to look at problems from a different perspective, (i.e. thinking out of the box), as that gave us some good results that were somewhat unconventional.
