Intro
This project was divided into stages (seen below). We first needed to research problems with the world. We ended up sort of merging our final ideas together to come up with the final issue: plants in space to end world hunger. We then conducted more in-depth research on our specific issue and began to think of a solution.
My partner and I decided to put our own engineering spin on the task and designed a satellite. This satellite would be focused on growing plants in space for the purpose of fighting to end world hunger and deforestation as well as conduct research that would help future space colonization.

In order to visualize the L satellite, we designed a blueprint.
For more detail on the specifications of the satellite, see Slides 4 and 10 of the slideshow above.
Reflection
This project was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about growing plants in space and about what plants need to grow. It turns out, it is a lot more complicated that I thought.
One thing I did well throughout the duration of this project was collaborate with my partner. We both contributed ideas did a fair share of the work. Another thing I did well was stay on task while working in class on this project. I was rarely distracted and always prioritized my work to make absolutely certain that it was my best.
On area where I could improve the most is my leadership abilities. I did not really take charge of this project, and I feel as though I did not do enough with regards to the delegation of responsibilities. Another area for improvement was my communication. I do not feel as though I communicated as effectively as I should have or could have. I think if our communication was better, we would have made an even higher quality final product.
