Week4_Winner Takes All

The problem the Design Squad had to solve was to make a a sled, but it had to be able to ride through grass instead of snow. It had to be man maneuvered. They had to find the right materials for the sled to go down the hill. At first, the red team tried out all of the different sleds to see which would be able to slide down the hill. None of those prototypes worked. Then ,they decide to try and make a sled with wheels. The blue team are going to try that idea too. Then someone came up with the idea of doing the sled in sections. She said it would have 3 sections and be able to twist and turn. You'd also be able to hook on sections. During this challenge the Design Squad listened to each other's ideas and made great suggestions. They brainstormed, and corrected each other, and were a great team.

I would approach this problem by riding the different sleds down the hill. Then, I'd brainstorm until I came with a good idea. Then, I'd build a prototype and ride it. If it didn't work, I'd go back to my ideas and find out what went wrong. If all went well, I'd build the real deal and test it to make sure it works. That's how I'd approach the problem. What I learned from this episode was to work together with your teammates. Listen to their ideas and they will listen to yours. I also learned that everyone has good ideas so you should listen.
