Children's Museum Wrap-Up

	B	C	D	E	F
1	Biggest surprise...	Thing I liked most...	If I did this next year, I would suggest...
2	They just cared about the creativity and design of it, not how good it worked	having a lot of freedom in our design	having a little more time
3	My biggest surprise was that the car didn't knock of the table when the dominos hit the car. It moved a little bit.	The thing I liked the most was that it was fun watching the prototype that we made do what it is spouse to do.	If I did this next year I would make my prototype more complex.
4	They let us restart if one of our pieces did not work.	That we were allowed to go to other peoples projects.	Get more time to build.
5	They weren't as focused on the actual prototype but the ideas in it.	I liked being able to construct the machine without too many limitations	We would learn about all of the energies before we are able to design our prototypes.
6	Very nice and they let us keep trying if it was not working.	I liked being able to build a contraption with out a lot of restrictions.	learning about all the different kinds of energy before we build and get a rubric on a peace of paper so we can look at the rubric to get 100% on the project.
7	They didn't care if it didn't work, they only cared about the design	I liked that they were nice	We should have a little more time
8	That our beginning of our project that always worked before did not work.	That were allowed to build a complex machine, and our grade.	Next year I would suggest that we get some more build time and we are tought some more on the energies that we had to use in our project.
9	That we were allowed to help the project along if it didn't work.	Seeing other people's projects.	Using more electricity in the project.
10
11	They were mostly looking at the ideas instead of the project and they let us restart if the project didn't work	Looking at other people's projects to see what ideas they had	Answering all the questions of the students when they ask in the first day so they can get started right away on the projects
12
13	The biggest suprise for me was that they didn't really care if your project didn't work perfectly.	I liked being able to see what other people's ideas and projects.	Giving some more time for building. Also really telling the students that if it doesn't work on the first try it doesn't matter becasue they just want an idea.
14	That out project didnt mess up at all while we were presenting even though we had some trouble while practicing	That we could be creative and make our own design on what we wanted to make it with	That we get some more time to design and build our prototype
15	The biggest surprise for me was that the people weren't intimidating, they were actually outgoing and wanted to know what our ideas were.	They were understanding if our project didn't go well the first time around	That you should spend more time on building and working on the parts of your prototype.
16	they were very nice	if we messed up they let us restart	we should get morer time to build
17	The museum people were understanding if the design didn't work as planned	I liked seeing other people's designs.	I would make a more complicated design with more energy transfers.
18	The understound that the projects did not work all the time	I liked the freedom of seeing,and observing other desighns, and comunicated with other partner groups	I would use more energies and energy transfers
19	they were very nice	if we messed up they let us restart
20	My biggest suprise was that that if the project did not work perfectly, they would allow you to manually work your contraption.	I enjoyed observing others contraptions and seeing a variety of ideas.	I would suggest more time to build our prototype so that we could make our design more complex and know that it is how we want it to be.
21	My biggest suprise was if the project did not work it really did not matter but if it did grate.Also I really think he did not grade our project too hard.	What I liked alot was that we were bilding phisacley and mentley.I also liked seing what other did and how they did it.	If i was doing this next year I would change my project because i dident think it was that fun when other peoples were more fun.
22	No suprise to me	Watching the machine in action.
23	They would still consider our design even if it didn't fully work in the run when we showed it to them.	I enjoyed watching other peoples designs and seeing how they worked.	That you would give us more building time
24	The biggest suprise was how smoothly everything went and how it wasn't all that stressful when you were presenting because the people were very nice and understanding.	I liked, again, how smooth everything was and that you were able to see everybody else's designs as well.	Maybe more time to build. Advice for the students: don't waste time and get it done!
25	I was surprised that the beginning of our project worked just like we planned. We were having some struggles with this earlier.	I liked that the people from the Museum Center were more interested than ideas than actual working prototypes.	I would want to have even more build time so that we could improve our design and make it more complex.
26	Even if the prototype didn't work, they still looked at your ideas listened to what you said about it.	I liked looking at other people's designs and seeing if they worked and seeing their ideas.	I would suggest maybe some more time to build and make adjustments and changes. We got only around three days to build
27	The thing i found most suprising was how easy going they were. For example our group needed a high power fan, but unfortionatly we were unable to get it and they were very understanding and didnt mind.	The thing that I liked the best about this was that we were able to see how other people in the classes showed energy transfermation. It was really interesting how many different ideas there were.	I would suggest that they not procrastonate and build with plenty of time for mistakes and adjustments.
28
29	How incredible the other prototypes were.	Seeing the other projects and other people's ideas.	I would make the prototype more complex with even more functions.
30	How complex other prototypes were compared to ours, and how they did not care that it did not work as long as we explained it	I liked how when we were done we could walk around and look at other peoples project and compare them tro ours	i would make teh groups a little bigger (4-5) because then you can get more materials and build a bigger better prototype
31
32	That our design mostly worked.	I liked watching the other groups' projects and their ideas	I would have brought in more materials
33	I like watching how all the other prototypes worked and how they were made.	He said that our project was cool. And he understood the basic idea of it.	I would have made the prototype longer and more in it.
34	I was surprised by how easy going our presentation was. It was less stressful than I thought it would be.	I liked looking at how all our ideas were different from the other projects. It was cool to see the creativity come out in everybody's work.	If I did this next year I would suggest giving us a little more work time. I think that our chain reaction could've been better with a few extra days to work on building it.
35	I was surprised that the class went by so quickly. It was like we walked in then walked out even though we were here the whole time. It was really fun to show of our design to everyone and everyone did a fantastic job on their designs.	I really liked that our design worked. It couldn't have done better. All the different parts worked perfectly and Dave seemed to like our design.	If you do this project again next year I would suggest giving a lot more time to get the project put together and designed. (maybe one more week)
36	How smoothly things went. Even though our design didnt only mostly worked, our judge was very kind and still gave our designe a chance because he said it could work.	Being able to experiment and find your own conclusion on events instead of predone and decided lessons.	More in class build time. I found the lessons we did to be not as useful as the build time would have been.
37	I was surprised how our design actually worked pretty well.	Getting to see other peoples designs which were pretty cool and creative.	I would change the materials. I would bring in more materials so we could have more resources to build with.
38	What surprised me the most was that the judges didnt care if our prototype worked or not, they just cared about the design.	The thing I liked most was being able to be creative and basically being able to put what ever we wanted in our prototype design.	If I did this next year, I would suggest having more build time and being able to use more in class materials because it was little hard to find the right materials.
39
40	I didnt feel as mch pressure as i thought i would	Getting my freedom to do whatever i wanted during building time	More build time and more setuptime so they dont feel rushed
41	He liked our ideas and didn't care about how well it worked. He was laid back and encouraging.	Letting this activity be in the community, not just in the classroom.	Having more time for the build and more provided materials so rushing and forgotten materials are not an issue.
42	how he did not care if it did not work.	freedom	to have more time.
43	He did not care if we had to manually help it through the project if it failed, he just cared about the main idea and the creativity of the project.	I liked being able to see other projects and watching them work.	Get more build time and not any other assignments so we could concentrate on making the project well and not timely.
44	It took at least a week to get a single part of our project ready to go.	We (7-5) got to have time in school to engage our brains in a fun building activity full of engineering.	More in-class build time to work on the project.
45	That it actually worked... even though we really just winged it.	That it worked and the guy was nice enough to be amused by my partner, Bailey's sparkles...	To not have to do it or only have like one energy we had to show and for the prompt to be simpler	Cats.
46	The biggest surprise was that Dave was completley cool with a design not working and very supportive of the creativity even when it didn't work	The thing I liked the most about this whole process was being able to be creative, work in groups of our pick, sprinkle glitter everywhere, and our team's design working	More time to work, less whole group, before knowing and working on the project knowing all of the different tyes of energies (this includes other activities with the subject of this topic), and less planning and more doing
47	He looked at our project and praised ther things that worked, not really bringing to attention the things that didn't.	I liked to be able to make what I wanted as long as it fitted the requirements and the challenge.	I would add more time to be able to work on the project.
48	That he thought our project was good	not having to have a bunch of extra work with it	More time for building your project
49	The biggest suprise was that the man that judged us was very laid back, and didn't put a lot of pressure on us that our design had to work perfectly. They were very supportive of our design and gave lots of positive feedback.	The thing I liked most was that our design worked the whole way through with nothing going wrong. It was fun getting to talk to the "judge" and here what he had to say about our design.	I would suggest that we have just a few extra days to compelte our design. I think that just a little more time would have made a big difference.
50	My project broke before me and my team got to show it.	At my house I had something to do and it was not boring.	Tell everyone to put there prjects in a safer place so that it will be safer.
51	The biggest suprise is that he liked the engineering behind ours even though it was simple.	That he said our idea was "Rube"ish	Getting a little bit more prep time.
52	Even though that our design didn't work he still suprisingly liked it.	I liked that dave was really nice and just looked how creative everyone was.	More time to build.
53	that our design worked all the way through	how nice the judges were when designs didn't work	giving more class time
54	The thing that I liked the most was that Dave really liked our contraption and he also really loved how we put GLITTER in our project.	That our design worked when he came to check our design	Give more working time!!
55	Even though our design only worked in sections and not as a whole, Dave said, "Surprisingly, I actually liked that." I didn't think he would like it since it failed.	I like how nice the judge was even though our project didn't work.	I think the kids should get more time in class to build and design. I think the project should be introduced earlier so the kids get more time, and they should've already done the energy unit earlier in the year so they don't use class time to learn about the energies.
56	What surprised me was that our design ended up working the first time.	That Dave, one of the judges, was really easy going and he liked our project because it worked!	I think that there should be more time to work on the prototype.
57	What surprised me the most is that he said that we were the first group to have it work all the way through	I like how he was so laid back and that he cared for the thought process and the ideas put into it rather than "did it work or did it not work."	What I would change if I did this next year is I would like to have a little more prepare time in class before he actually shows up
58	What suprised me the most is that our design didnt work when it did the in the past	I liked that the people who were judging us were so easy going and nice and laid back	Give kids more time to work on their project
59	My suprise was the fact that it went so quick and that we spent so much time for such a little moment.	I liked the part where actually got to run our project and when we were awnsering questions about our prodject since it seemed as if we acually had the spotlight for once.	I would like to of had more time because overall we probally had about 2 hours of class time to build when we needed around 4hours of class time. I believe all prodject would be a lot better and have more thought put into them all the way around.
60	I was surprised my prototype actually worked because that was the first time it work all together.	I liked the part where i was actually interacting with my project even though my heart was pounding fast and hard.	Maybe they should use all of the energy's in the prototypes
61	They really understood how to critic us on our designs.	The ability of creativity.	I wish we had more build time.
62	I was surprised that my group finished our prototype and that it worked for our presentation. I was also surprised that everything went so well.	My favorite part was when we finally finished our prototype and we could work through it ourselves.	I think that we should have a longer time from the day we learn about the project to the day the prototype is 'due'.
63	My surprise was that we finished the majority of our project in the final 20 minutes of time we had and our project worked pretty smoothly.	I liked being able to have a creative project that worked the right way.	Personally, I do not think that the kids should do his again next year. They should do the contraptions and learn about the energies but they should not get to have their projects in the museam. That way, whatever design that wins this year wil get to stay there longer.
64	my surprise was that our prototype worked and that he asked us what it would do before we did the experiment		I think that we should more time to work on the project
65	My biggest surprise was that if one part of our design didn't work, they actually let us try again, and actually seemed to like our design. I thought that they were pretty considerate and interested of every part of our design, and every single component.	The thing that I liked most was that there were many different designs, and prototypes to look at, and doing this unit, I actually understood all of the forms of energy, and transformations very well.	If I did this next year I would suggest that we would have more time to build, and that maybe we have would have learned about the different types of energies and transformations sooner, so that we could have more knowledge while heading into this project.
66	My biggest surprise was that it was harder than I thought it was to make the design because we would come up with a design and then realize either the materials didn't work or the design of it didn't fit into our overall design.	The thing I liked most was that all of the members in my group including me made a big part of our design so it was really cool to me that all of us did equal parts and it wasn't just one person doing it all.	I would suggest maybe giving us a little bit more time to set up because some things would have worked if we had a little more time to set up our design.
67	My biggest surprise was that he already knew that some parts of people's designs wouldn't work, so he let them fix it and he didn'tfocus completely on the prototype, he focused on the design.	The thing I liked most was to see other people's prototypes and how different they were than mine.	If I did this next year I would suggest that we would have more time to build and that people should plan out their prototype before hand a lot.
68	They were sympathetic if the prototype didn't work, and they really looked at the design	I liked that they really appreciated the work and time we put into the design and the prototype.	More time and materials.
69	The judges didn't care if it stopped and didn't work and gave support on how we could've made it better without criticizing on what they didn't like . They gave us ideas on what we could've done if we did it again and had no bad things to say about the design, only supporting things	The thing i liked the most was the ability to use materials to make whatever we could imagine to make a chain reaction.	To have a little more time to add on ideas and to have a participation grade for bringing in materials so that they have a reason to help the group.
70	The biggest surprise was that they liked our design. I didn't thnk that they would like ours because it was different.	The thing that I like the most was watching Brittney's face right before she started our contraptiton. She looked really nervous at first, but her face turned into a huge grin as our contraption worked	I suggest that the students next year are given more time to build alot of people were really rushing at the end and were getting stressed
71	The biggest surprise for me was that they judged all the designs by the creativity and mechanics in the design, not by how it worked.	We could do anything in our design, we didn't have any limits to what we could make.	My suggestion is to give more time, when my group was working on our project we had to finish most of it up for homework.
72	The biggest suprise for me was that didn't judge how the design worked, because they knew it was a challenge. They judged on creativity.	We could use our creativity all we wanted because we had no restictions or rules to what we could do other that the child friendly rule.	I would want more time or the ability to have better materials because I didn't have many good materials that other groups had access to.
73	That they judged the design and creativity, not how well the designed worked. They probably knew that we did not have the "best" materials to build a fully functional design.	Not having many rules so we could use our creativity instead of having to follow certain rules.	Having a little more time, my group had to finish the project for homework.
74	I thought they wouldnt like our disign and that thye wouldnt like it because is didnt work very well	being able to use any materials that we wanted and not to many limits, i also liked that i could work together with someone	more time to build and plan, and that we learn about energy and stuff before we get the assignment
75	I thought they would be more harsh if the design didn't work, and I was surprised when they took into consideration the we only had so long to build and so many materials.	I liked being able to see other people's projects, and to put our own into complete action. I thought that it was cool to see other ideas that are different from our own and to see how they worked in what ways.	I would want more build time.		jack
76	I was suprised how much space had to be used in order to set up the project.	The project worked perfectly and had no faults.	More time to set up the project
77	i thought they would be more picky about if it worked or not	i liked how we could watch other peoples projects in action after setting ours up correctly	i would want more builld time and would want to remember materials before the last build day!
78	The people were looking for good ideas and creative designs more than if your design worked perfectly.	That we could have choice in whatever we did for our design and what we used.	Start building sooner and bring in materials sooner.
79	I was suprised that they weren't very harsh or like why didn't you add that energy the were very laid back and understandable	The thing I liked was we were allowed to video tape it	I would like to have more build time
80	I was surprised how well our contraption worked.	The things I liked most was how we got to do what we wanted with very litttle restrictions and it was very hands on.	I would suggest that we have more community supplies that we could use such as cardboard.
81	The people thought it was important how creatuve our design was and also how we presented it.	I liked that we could accualy build and this was a hands on thing.	i would like more time to prepare our design.
82	I thought they would be strict on if your design worked and if it had all the energy but they always had something good to say	I liked actually building the design and seeing what worked and what didn't work	We should have more time to do this because we didn't have enough time to make a good design
83	my biggest suprise was that me and my team got so much done in that short time of presentation day and that it all came together and worked like we wanted it to.	i like how they really liked our design even though it wasint very complex and they made it really easy to show.	i would recomend more materials and ideas to share with the students.
84	The biggest surprise was the people coming in and actually liking the animations we made in stead of us actually making a real prototype. It was scary not knowing whether or not they would like it, so taking the risk was worth it.	When they wanted to keep seeing it replay on my tablet.	I would have it be in the learning commons next time so its not as cluttered as messy.
85	I was surprised that they didn't say anything bad, considering it wasn't what we wanted it to look like	That they seemed to find it interesting and complimenting it	To have more room and more time to build. Also having bigger groups so that there were less projects to do and he could spend more time at each.
86	What suprised me the most was that they were not that critical and they did not give us any suggestions	I liked how they wanted me to set it up again and watch it again	If I did this next year, I would like more build time so I don't get stressed out
87	I was surprised that the judges weren't very critical about the design and if it worked or not	I liked how the judges were only saying the positives about the design and not anything that was bad about it	More time to work on the prototype
88	I was surprised when I found out that they mostly cared about the creativity and energy types, not how smoothly it ran.	The thing I liked most about this project was the amount of freedom we were given to build and design our prototype.	If I did this next year I would like to have more time.
89	The biggest surprise was that they were looking more at the positives then negatives. Also that they liked the digital design and thought it was creative.	I liked seeing all of the fun and creative design and seeing them work. Ths was probably one of the best projects we've done in school since ithere was so much freedom and ability to make what you wanted to.	I probabaly would have wanted a bit more time so I could have really grasped all the electrical forms to incorprate. Also if I could see what and how we were being graded so we could have been more prepared.
90
91	the bigest suprise for me was how theyu judged it they judged it on ideas and creativty mostly and i liked that and they werent that harsh if it didnt work	the thing i like most was the designing time and it was just a fun challenged i like building it and creating ideas this is what I wish we could do in science evryday	more build time and materials stuff for us to show thermal provide more materials
92	What surprized me the most is that our design worked	The thing that I liked the most was is that everything that we put at the bottom of the ramp fell down like it was to do	One thing that i would change is having more time to build the project.
93	What surpirsed me the most about yesterday was how laid back it was and how the judges really just cared about your ideas not just how it looked or if it ran smoothly.	The thing I liked the most was seeing everyones ideas and getting to display our design.	One thing I would change is the time we had to work on the project.
94	They cared about the idea not the design	I liked presenting and showing off my ideas.	I would extend the deadline by a week or two so that people have more time to perfect their designs
95	The thing that surprised me the most was that the judges liked everything about all of the designs.	The thing that I liked the most was designing the prototype and presenting it to the judges.	If I did this next year, I would suggest having more build time and having plenty of materials to use in our design.
96	they alowd us to keip triying even thow it did not work.	i though it was nice it did not fell like an awkward conversation with them when we expand.	more time,and check if all partners are participating.
97	I was suprised that the judges really focused in on our designs and less on you built project.	I liked how they asked questions instead of just nodding and moving on.	I would change the amount of space we had to build, as well as the materials.
98	I was suprised that the judges was really interrrested in how everyones projecct worked.	I liked how they told you how they really felt about your project.	Nexy year we should be able to have alittle more time
99	The judges were interested in our work, and asked a lot of good questions even though the project didn't work.	They took the contact information that we gave them and they were impressed with the fact that we had contact info.	We should've worked more on the visual presentation of our project and spent less time trying to contact the artist.
100	The thing that surprised me the most was that the judges didn't mind that we didn't have a Rube Goldberg inspired project. They thought our design was very creative.	The thing that I liked the most was that when we were done, we were allowed to walk around the room and see our classmates projects.	If I did this next year I would suggest to bring in materials as soon as possible so that you have lots of time to build.
