Reflection
I really enjoyed working on this project with my teammates. In the beginning it was definitely hard to work on this project due to it being something i could not motivate myself to do because of the many existing solutions. However over time as we continued doing more research into plastic pollution i began to like our problem and really wanted to create something that would solve our problem and help our target consumers. It was also difficult in the beginning due to everyones conflicting schedules and because Sangwuk and i remained on zoom while working on the project which lead to misunderstandings about the overall size of our utensil. At first i found the research and planning phase of the project to be very tedious however as i became more motivated to complete the project i began finding the research phase to be very important and was able to find many different organizations that shared a similar idea to ours and had already begun solving the problem worldwide with positive affects. The building and modeling phase of the project was definitely my favorite part of the entire project such as using fusion 360 and watching my designs come to life using a 3-D printer. If there was anything i would recommend on course improvements it would be to ease up the time constraints of the presentation. I found this to be the most challenging part of the presentation due to the feeling of having to rush the process and presentation of a project we have been working on for the last three months in such a short amount of time.

I found Liam to be an excellent partner when it came to working on this project. He was on the beat the entire time recommending changes, different opinions and helping significantly with the research. Liam was also extremely efficient and helpful when it came to Sangwuk and I being online and working at home. Liam was always willing to stay after at the tech school to work on the project to make sure it would be perfect for the project, and was also willing to be transportation for Sangwuk and I when we stayed after as well or wanted to meet up to work on something outside of school such as the presentation video. Liam is a hard worker and someone who always dedicates himself to a project when it's something he enjoys. If there were to be any recommendations there were a few times when he would forget to do something that was asked of hime however he would immediately fix it and make it better then before.

Sangwuk was an amazing partner to have during this project. He was always on top of everything asking what could be done next and if there was anything that needed improvements. Sangwuk was also a very efficient teammate who was always willing to help the team by staying after and while online. He was also very helpful when dividing up tasks between the group and completing them within the agreed time frame and would always complete what was asked of him immediately. If there were to be any recommendations i would make it would be for sangwuk to have been in person more often instead of just the last few days which could've allowed us to progress on the project further.
