I’m most proud of my Halloween animatronic, out of everything I’ve done in PLTW, because it was the first long group project I did in this class. I learned a lot about how to work in a group, how to delegate work successfully, and how to rely on others. It was really fun working with my team to create the design and test it.
The main advice I’d give to incoming PLTW seniors is to do your absolute best to keep on the timeline for the Capstone project. My group got really behind, which became stressful and is probably impacting my friendships with my teammates. It’s best to keep on time so you don’t have to worry about it when you approach AP tests and finals in other classes.
