Glider Project
When we did the glider project, I learned how engineers go through the design process. You can't just wake up and decide that you are going to build something. First you have to define the problem, do research, come up with possible solutions, and choose the best solution for your problem. After that, you can start working on the development of your solution and construct a prototype. The most important thing about this is measurements. You have to ensure that each part of your prototype is steady, and is the correct size. The glider that we created wouldn't work if the wings weren't even. I also learned time management. If you rush into things, then they won't turn out right. You'll have to go back and reconstruct your prototype. It is extremely important to take your time, while managing to finish by the due date
