HYBRID CAR: THE JAZZIN WAGON- PULLEY CAR
Our Goal was to make a car that ran on an efficient fuel source that was eco-friendly and was not electric or solar. We ended up having this rad and unique car that is taller than everyone in the group! It works by wrapping a string around the back axle and moved up to a pulley around two meters off the ground, the string is on the other side of the pulley holding on to a weight. Once the wight is moved it will start to lower and the string will unravel causing the axle to roll.

The project had a rough start full of tangents and everyone, including myself were off task. We procrastinated until there was only less than seven days left. Then we met up at Conrad's House and worked for hours on it. We re-did everything we had already and went through many ideas for a new car design. At first it didn't work but as time crept on we finished. I think the last two hours at Conrad's house were the most productive and went well. I think what went poorly was not bringing in enough supplies to school and the procrastinating. I learned that if I put my mind to it, that i could get it done with little time. What I also learned about myself is that people can have a fun time but work needs to be done, so I need to play games less and work more. I think I could have improved more on my leadership skills rather than letting a job be handed to me. Another thing I could have done better is to improve my ability to focus and I will keep trying to exercise that skill.
