The Flow Rider

Today my group and I worked on our third project together and it was actually a very rewarding experience. We choose to do "Flow" and demonstrate a swimmer going through a moment of "Flow". I did not know any of the three other group members in my group, but we all were able to work together so well, to produce what I think is a really great product. I usually hate group work this time of the year because schedules are crazy and it is so hard to coordinate times to meet, so going in the group meeting I did not have the most positive attitude. The outcome of the experience was really great though. I think for the first time in a while, a group I was in actually listened to one another and played off of each others ideas. We each took things we were good at and expanded on them. We worked for about four hours, but got the entire thing done. Not only does it feel good to have something out of the way and as if I accomplished something, I did not leave the experience wishing I had not wasted hours of my life. I am excited to see how we are evaluated and what the reaction to our machine is.
