AnalysisInvention ConclusionIntroduction

Wei Heng : Overall, I experienced high and lows during the whole project. Being a group member, I realized how important my group members and leader are to me as with them, we can successfully accomplish greater results.

Noel : I feel that although initially some people in my group have been not very supportive of this idea, but they were willing to try it out and improve on the project. It was much easier because of that as we each got to voice out our views, so everyone participated. I also learnt that teamwork is vital for the success of a team as only by cooperating we can achieve greater heights.

Reflections

AnalysisInvention ConclusionIntroduction

ReflectionsMing Han : I feel that doing an invention is a very interesting project to do . We have a chance to present our idea of invention we thought of to solve problems in the modern world and increase convenience for others. Being a group leader, I had learnt that responsibility is very important in ensuring that the whole group can accomplish the various tasks on time and also to plan the process of the project efficiently.

Wang Yiwei : I think that making an invention with my classmates is very interesting as we can express our ideas to each other. During the process of this project, I had learnt that it takes much effort to actually create something that we thought it was simple in the beginning. This process has also helped me to bond with my group members closer.
