Design Step 5
In this step, we created both an oral design defense (accompanied by a poster and slideshow) and a written design defense. In this defense, we highlighted how we used the engineering design process to complete our project. The poster included our previous design steps and photos of our testing.

Reflection
One thing that went well during this step was our time management. We set out deadlines for each part, and we were able to complete everything before the presentation night with time to check over everything and fix anything that wasn't working well. Another thing that went very well was our teamwork. We worked together fairly equally, and this helped us complete the step with minimal stress.
One thing that did not go as well was our initial understanding of the requirements. We originally only thought we had to do a poster and a slideshow, but we found out that we also had to do a written defense. However, we were able to adapt quickly and finish the step on time.
During this step, I learned more about the engineering design process and how to use it to defend a product.
