Reflections

Prelims:


Andre: From the experience in Prelim 1, I found out that our project has a lot of things which are missing or needs to be improved on. The one that needs to be improved to most was our way of presentation. In the first Prelim, the judges did not understand what our product was really about. Hence, we added more description/drawings this time to help the judges visualize our product.

Kaye: This project has been very meaningful. I have seen many inventions by participating in workshops and thought of many as well. I have also grasped some new time management skills which allowed me to finish the project on time.

Yue Heng:
I feel that after going through prelim 1, I have found out what our product lacked, the judges could not view our problem and solutions clearly. Thus we have included sketches to help the judges understand. Also, we have further thought about our problem and have gone through several discussions with both our mentor and the group.

Justin:
After going through the first prelim, I have learnt what mistakes were made, for example, we did not bring out our problem and rationale clearly, causing in the judges to not understand our problem well. Also, we did not come up with a clear explanation of our solution. I have also learnt that we have to think deeper into our problem to find a good solution, instead of only thinking on the surface. Also, I feel that the discussions are important because it helps us know what each other and thinking, and understand each others thoughts clearer.
