What were your biggest takeaways (biggest ideas/thoughts) from these challenges?

That these challenges are a lot harder this year than last year. Or maybe it’s because when we were 5th graders the 6th graders took over and now that’s our job.

What was challenging about these challenges? My groups where with people I’m usually not with. And because of that, we had some troubles.
What was comfortable about these challenges? I always say that ideas are easiest because I always like to imagine ideas before we do the work so I have a bunch of ideas.
How did you work in a team? Because I’m usually not with these people it was very challenging to work together. Some of the kids liked to mess around which made it harder too.
What were your areas of strength as a group? We all had very good ideas. And a lot of our ideas were very similar which made it easy to make our big idea for our challenge.
What were your areas of growth as a group? All of my groups had a least 2 people that where getting distracted or not helping with the group.
What did you enjoy about these challenges? Why? I liked trying to do the challenges and F.A.I.L.ing and then trying again. It was fun because we were always so close before it broke and we got to try different ideas because of this.
What was frustrating? Why? When our ideas broke at the last second. A few times we would be done then at the last second it would break and we wouldn’t have a model of the challenge answer.
