During my investigate stage, Aileen handed a PowerPoint that covered up the information we needed for our unit. i think that she did a quite a good job as it was well processes and it looked catchy. On our design stage we came up with only 2 designs as we forgot about the last one, these were well prepared designs that sir liked and it was exceptional. In plan Aileen made a gantt chart that showed how we are going to do the task and the materials we needed for that task. During the create stage Sam and I made a thorough design cut that covered up exactly out chosen design. It was a pity that a bit of the net got snapped and the piece was not found, still I went ahead and bent the plastic which is not complete as it was time to end the unit. I hope i actually did well in attitudes but the rest was as it should be, especially at the last minute evaluation, which I just finished now.
The boat isn't tested yet but i hope i get a chance to test it after bending it.

What influenced me.....
With my group we found out that the best hull design to use was the catamaran design. Sam came up with the idea and my group and I decided that it was a good idea. We chose the catamaran design as it is easy to make and it is stable enough for balancing the items or whatever it is that it was holding up. We didn't quite like the 'v' shaped hull as if measurements went wrong even by a centimeter or so it would tip over easily. We also made our boat compact and small as it would glide through the air, if it was a race, easily. Some air resistance would be affecting the boat but since we kept it small and sleek, it would reduce that factor. We chose plastic as it was water resistant and light to water so it would most likely float up.
