Our Innovation Day project was on filtration and while doing this had had many thoughts like my feelings, my goals, and my expectations. These are some of them.

At the beginning of this project, I was nervous because I would have to present in front of parents and judges. My hope for the project was that I could use what I had learned to make a very well-rounded original project. I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun it was to write about filtration with my partner. A very useful strategy I found, and used, was that my partner and I would write about different topics and would help each other if we needed help. I was very proud of how nice my board looked, and that the judges were able to understand what I was saying without much prior knowledge of the topic. This was shown by how much the judges liked our project and complimented the project. I think that this project was very good practice for my public speaking and any other presentation projects in the future.

After making this project I was very proud of myself. My takeaway from this project was all the skills I learned like collaboration, strategies to be more productive, and oral presentation skills which are all helpful later in life.
