We learnt that working together as a group is important and makes work much simpler. We shared ideas and we had fun,learnt a lot of things.
Technology is a very difficult subject but when having someone that has been working with technology it is easier to understand and enjoy yourself. We did not know that technology is a very interesting subject but after today we noticed that technology is very interesting and a lot of fun.
Have the skills,work hard and harder until you get it right. We realised that you have to be a hard and dedicated worker and you need to have patience. The interesting part was when we had to draw something and make it. We all came up with different ideas and that make work easier. We all had a lot of fun working together as a group and we created a scooter out of cardboard,it was difficult but we tried harder and never gave up. We always thought that engineering was a boring and hard career but today we learnt that it is fun,interesting.
WORKING TOGETHER IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WE LEARNT A LOTWE LEARNT THE SPECIAL WORD WHICH IS

Group 2
We as group two have learnt that WE are technology! We have gained a lot from this experience. We have learnt that teamwork,dedication and hard-work brings about new discoveries and developments. Success and achievements can only be attained through practice. Mistakes are made but lessons are gained. This experience has brought about excitement and will most certainly have us considering engineering as a future career. Technology is a very important aspect of our lives,if utilised in the appropriate manner. We believe that we,the future technologists of tomorrow, can make possible the impossible. We are proud of our structure that we have constructed today and we hope to continue developing such fruitful mechanisms.
Thank you(NWU) for a day well spent,we highly appreciate your patience and thoughtfulness.:)

Awesome experience!We really enjoyed ourselves,we learnt a lot of new things about technology that we did not know before. We now know that its about brain power, team work,patience and communication. It showed us another perspective of life in technology and using our brains accurately and effectively.
We came up with different ideas, we designed and created mechanical systems, we have aquired a lot of knowledge from what we were told and taught about. We have now become more computer literate than we were before we came here.
What we had to do today was very challenging but we managed to complete the task that we were given because of team-work , we were very determined , mentally strong and positive and those are just a few aspects which helped us with completing our tasks very well.
Mr Henry,Mr Ron and Mr Peter were patient and helpful which made relax and enjoy being here

Well today was an experience not to be missed out,we learned more than we expected.We were told that SMARTNESS OR INTELLEGENCE does not come from TECHNOLOGY itself,but from the person behind it.
We as a group learned how to work close together as a team-sharing of ideas,team building,strategising and having a back up plan .When making a product you should always be more realistic and stick on to what you are doing,and ''Keeping It Simple and Smart t'' (KISS). METHOD
We meet Mr RON,PETER and HENDERY
