Mini Culminations

So, I'm not sure if I was supposed to post about our mini culminations, I'll do it anyway:
Mini Culmination Try1:
We had this two Fridays ago. I was the robotics person on the Earth base (the lab), and I helped Clara with communications and Alice with the launch. On our 1st try, the launch broke, so we replaced it with the spare launch, but by the time we had got it set up again, our time was up, so we never finished. Over all, our group worked really well, and I thought that everyone did a really great job, because even though the 6th graders were being a little noisy, and we didn't figure out the mission until a little towards the end, and we were having a really hard time. I know that we did a good job, put our best foot forward, and I'm really proud of the effort we put forth.
Mini Culmination Try 2:
We had this last Friday. It was just as fun as the last one, and we had more time to touch up before the day came. This time, I was communications, because one of the girls in our group was going to get braces on that day, and also because I switched with Maddy. I worked with Maddy and Kimmy at the Earth base (the lab) to launch the pieces needed into space. We had to launch the pieces into a little basket on a robot, and then Kimmy was supposed to go and turn the robot on, and send it to Taryn who was the Mars base (the hallway). I think our group did a pretty good job, because even though we couldn't get the pieces into the robot, our communication skills were pretty great, and we all tried really hard, and we were short two people, and everyone was a good sport. Even though we didn't finish (like last time) and I had been hoping that we could finish, the extra prep gave us more time, and we pulled it off far better then I expected we would.
