Core Competency;
For my core competency I am choosing Communication and Creative thinking. During the project since it was a group project it required to communicate with my partner about what we wanted the project to look like, what we wanted to make move, what kinds of energy we want and is going to be used, what supplies we already had, and what we needed to bring. My partner and I were both absent on the day we learned about the project so we were both little lost, since I had done a project like this in middle school it was easy to figure out what it needed to look like. We both had ideas on the project so we came to a middle ground on what the machine is going to do. As we added more things to the sketch of the machine we had to figure out what category the energy fit into and how many more we need to fit the criteria. once we assembled the machine we ran into some problems with the structure but, we talked about what we could do to fix it and the machine worked almost as perfectly as we wanted.
