Reflections

Wei Heng : Overall, I experienced high and lows during the whole project. There were some disputes originally on the idea of the V2 Onion Box and some objected violently. However, after doing researches on the idea, we realized that our idea is realistic .

Noel : I feel that although initially some people in my group have been not very supportive of this idea, but they were willing to try it out and improve on the project. It was much easier because of that as we each got to voice out our views, so everyone participated. I also learnt that teamwork is vital for the success of a team as only by cooperating we can complete something.

Reflections

Ming Han : I feel that doing an invention is a very interesting project to do . We have a chance to present our ideas of inventions we thought of to solve problems in the modern world and increase convenience for others. I had also learnt more on how teamwork is important for success , just like how Noel felt .

Wang Yiwei : I think that making an invention with my classmates is very interesting as we can express our ideas to each other. We can also make the mankind’s life better by inventing an invention that can help them in their daily life. Doing this project has also helped me bond closer with my group members !
