Building the model
Research Paper The paper gave special aspects of health care Made us think about health solutions instead of complaining about how bad it is Thinking of possible ideas was hard because we needed to invent a new product
Sim City Simulation Meeting the requirements of the competition was challenging It took a lot of trial and error as well as patience The game taught us the major aspects of city planning; for example, where to place certain buildings and why
Opinions and Thoughts: We learned about city planning We learned about architecture from our mentor and workshops The work before the model (essay and simulation) was very difficult We also learned about sky farms and agriculture
