At the end of Project 1, you should be able to:

Evaluate the product you created: Tower

• carry out tests to see if the tower met the design specifications
• reflect on the success (and/or failure) of the tower in an objective manner based on testing
• reflect on the impact of building the tower on individuals and on society
• explain how the tower could be improved.

Evaluate your use of the design cycle: 

• reflect on your performance at each stage of the design cycle (reflect about strengths and weaknesses/areas of improvements of each stage)
• compare your planned timeline with the actual use of time
• explain the changes you made (if any) 
• identify the parts that you found difficult and suggest ways in which your work during Project 1 could be improved.
