Brainstorming, Testing & Teamwork: Grand Canyon Bridge Challenge



  • Brainstorming is really helpful when solving a problem because you are able to list out all of your ideas without doubting yourself. When you allow all of your ideas to flow it is easier to pick one idea that is best to solve the problem you are focusing on.



  • A successful team comprises of individuals who are willing to work together, be open with ideas, and accept errors and mistakes. A good team also requires people who can blend ideas and incorporate everyone's thoughts.

  • We could have done a few things differently. First of all we could have had more tests before we started building our final model because one of our problems was too late to fix. Our problem was that our slits were too big where we weaved in the paper and also our paper wasn't curved enough on the one of the papers. Other than this, however, everything worked well. (:



  • Testing is also very important for solving a problem. When we tested our ideas we were able to improve on our work while looking at what problems really effected our design. We had to find effective ways of fixing the problems, and testing our ideas really helped us see what worked and what didn't.
