▐▐▐▐▐Imagine Tomorrow Project II

Things that worked well...

Some things that I thought worked out really well was the welcome event. I liked how we were able to play games and get to know other people. Another thing I thought worked out well was how there wasn't any strict rules that we had to follow and that the presentations did not have to formal. That made everything so much easier and funner for me.

Improvements...

What I didn't like was that there was not enough free time. Next time, I think we should be able to stay at the rec center longer. I liked how we were allowed to leave our presentation spot at any time, but that also caused some problems because a couple times when I came back to my spot, a judge was already talking to my group, and I didn't get a chance to say anything during those times.

Feed back of progress...

I think that we were pretty well prepped but not as much as we could have been. At least we were better than the buy local group, but I saw so many more presentations that were better than ours. I liked how we were able to have a lot of time to work on our presentations especially as the due date drew closer. However, working on the project so much also made me a bit brain dead, and I didn't work as hard as I could have. After a while, I found this project kind of boring and annoying to work on. The only thing that I can think of right now is to start working on the projects earlier, so we won't get bored and frustrated. What I liked about our preparation was having the seniors come in and critique us on our presentation. It really helped because what the judges did was pretty similar to what we did when we practiced: we talked about our project, and then they asked us questions.

Thoughts for next year...

Next year, I don't want to continue the garden project because I thought that our project wasn't that interesting (not many people looked at our presentation), and that it wouldn't contribute a lot to the removal of carbon dioxide. I don't know what I want to do next year, but I like the idea about helping create a greener building. Next year, I wouldn't mind what category I'm in as long as it is not technology. The other three categories seem more interesting, and I think the projects that would belong in those categories would be funner to work on.
