Technology is very exciting because it involves a variety of people working together to create new inventions. My favorite thing about working with others as a team is that we all have ideas to share. We can all have our own input and even come up with a way to improve things like the Balsawood Bridge. When we all combine our ideas it creates something new and useful. For example, the Balsawood Bridge was a challenge for my team and …show more content…

There were so many types of bridges, it was difficult to choose because the engineers that made the bridges I was researching on made the bridges last long and strong. Throughout my research I explained to my team that whichever type of bridge we decided to make it will come out good because every type of bridge has its unique way of
holding on together and its own way of being very strong thanks to the engineers that made them.
It makes me smile knowing how much our world has advanced thanks to those who are engineers, and those who work on developing new technologies. If none of these smart people took their time to think and invent all these amazing things, how would I be typing this essay? Its amazing what that they have made so far, from computers and ginormous sky scrapers to robots that help other people. It is also exciting to find out what new thing things engineers will …show more content…
In the 2015 Shell STEM showdown, we had to make a catapult that could throw a small bean bag to the target. We all had different ideas to make the catapult that we ended up making two catapults. It was so shocking to see how almost every team had a different strategy in to making the catapult. We did great in our catapult but unfortunately it wasn’t good enough to make our team win but that’s okay it’s the fact that we had fun making it that count. These types of competitions are great way to make anyone learn, work and feel like an
