As a whole our group worked really well together. We had no problems with one another through the process of creating our product.We were well organized and presented everything in an orderly fashion. I filled the role of creating the kiosk which I drew up an example and presented it to my group. I also helped with all aspects of the project giving my input and ideas to better it. I presented the kiosk part of the presentation and if I could have contributed more it would have been to create the kiosk electronically. I did not make the computer version of the kiosk because I do not have the technology. Overall I enjoyed this project and I feel working in a group was very successful on our part.

I enjoyed this class. I liked the fact of the blogging instead of taking quizzes each week, I also liked the group project aspect of this class. I like to work in groups so the projects assigned I felt were fun and a good way to get us to work in teams. I liked the idea of the final project of inventing a product. I also enjoyed some of the videos that we watched in class especially the one about Girl Talk. Overall I enjoyed this class and I liked the fact how the professor was so positive unlike most of my others.

Our project is now complete. We met last night and everyone presented their part of the project and we put it together as a whole. We went over everything that needed to be covered and assigned each member of the group with what they are going to present. Each member has given their part in this project and working as a group has been successful. Everyone has contributed and there were no problems working together. In the beginning we were confused with what to do but in the end we switched back to our original idea. I developed the kiosk, Carl looked up the science and background information for the product, Stuart focused on what we needed to complete the requirements for the project, Jeremy created the presentation and helped with the packaging, and Adam created the design. For everything else that came into creating this final product, we all contributed our thoughts.

For our project we were set on this idea of a product that will take away the odor of your outdoor activity clothing. Everyone contributed to the brainstorming and design plan. When the next class came around, no one in the group agreed to like this idea so we all brainstormed more to figure out a new design product. We then became set on a product that will keep heat in your house. We are designing an insulated tarp-like item that will go over your windows to keep heat in. The progress we have on this right now is what it would be successful as a product. We are now looking into cost options for this item and a design for it. Everyone in the group is contributing equally and presenting their ideas. Working in a group has been successful thus far and we were all to look up more information for this product and present it to one another on class Monday. I feel I am helping with the idea process to this new product and could help more by looking up information to further the process of it.The design of the tarp is going to be more like a hexagon that will be able to tear apart to fit any size window. It is going to be able to stretch without tearing or coming undone from the other pieces. I hope that more class time will give us each a job to work on to fulfill the requirements for the project.

The last chapter of the book was about design and how it has changed throughout the years. This makes me think about what is going to come with it in the future with thinking how technology grows today. It feels like just a few years ago when texting was a big deal, now almost every cell phone made requires you to have the internet and there is anything you can do now a days from your phone. Technology has grown so fast. With the change in design over the years this makes me wonder what will come in just a few years. With the project were working on now in class it was a challenge for my group to come up with a new product because everything we would think of has been created already, but there a new designs that come about every day.

Reading Reflection
What I got from reading was how wasteful we are to the environment and nature. I hope more people get something out of reading this and will care more about their surroundings and take into consideration being less wasteful and hazardous to nature. The book talked about nature's efficient system of turning waste into food. It explained how humans messed the system up. A lot of the examples given were a shock to me because I was unaware of how much it destroys nature. Another part that interested me was the wind energy.
