- Our team worked on a student project to design a concept for an electric vehicle.
The project was part of a course on sustainable technologies, and we had four
weeks to complete it. My role was to research battery technology and present our
findings to the class.
- We aimed to create a well-rounded EV design that highlighted innovation in
energy efficiency and affordability for the average consumer. I hoped for a smooth
collaboration and for our presentation to impress the class and professor.
💡 Feelings and thoughts: Describe your feelings and/or thoughts during the project. Then, state
how they might have impacted the experience.
**Helpful questions:

What were you thinking during the project? What about now?
- I was excited and curious about the topic, but also a bit nervous about the
technical aspects.
- I felt a mix of challenge and satisfaction as I dived into the research. Teamwork
was sometimes frustrating due to different working styles, but overall, I enjoyed
the process.
- I felt proud of our final presentation, although I thought we could have
communicated better as a team during the research phase.
