REFLECTION ABOUT OUR STANDALONE

In my learnings and realizations as I worked on with our output which is the DIY
Stirling engine, there are many findings and experiences that may qualify to succeed our
output. I internally estimated how much time I would have to give to my group
members to do it when I was originally given the task to lead our output. Personally, I
feel we're working on an interesting and challenging project, so I decided to set a goal
for myself to learn how to do it successfully. I am highly confident in my capacity to lead
for our output's success. However, this is my first time working with a prototype like the
DIY Stirling engine, it takes me a minute to think about what I want to convey. I've
always been a thinker, but comprehension has enhanced my critical analysis skills
significantly.
I've learned a lot doing our DIY Stirling engine, especially on our first, second, and
third attempts, and I continually ask why on many different levels since I can't see
where sections of the output are failing, so I challenge myself to dive deeper and
deconstruct every detail to develop our output. Additionally, through watching several
DIY Stirling engines by different content creators, I've learned to identify distinct
approaches and create connections that assist the design process. I've realized that
different interpretations provide different perspectives to a work and can help it
succeed.
Having such commitment to this output is crucial; as we reached the finish, I was
both delighted and dissatisfied since some of my members were not truly contributing
to the success of our output; nonetheless, it was a heartfelt moment because our hard
work had finally paid off. The outcome was flawless, yet I knew I would miss working
with them. Not only them, but I would also miss being a part of this project.
