Power Grid
For this project we attempted to create a plan to power all of Novato. Our group decided to turn the current existing Stafford Dam into a hydro powered dam. We decided to create a secondary reservoir at the bottom of the dam and to create energy from the falling water. We then planned to use solar powered pumps to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir to store energy. With this idea we created a full plan to spread power throughout our town.

Reflection
During this project the hardest part was probably the time constraints. We had three days and we struggled on what we could go without being able complete. We all did well to get work done and understand each other. We might need to work on doing more calculations and research. Also we can work on staying more on task.
I did well to work with my teammates and I took a strong role as a leader. I helped our group stay on task and I did more than my fair share of work. I helped my teammates focus and stay on task. I was happy with my teammates and liked our product.
I could work on my empathy and be more understanding towards my teammates. At times when my teammates were not working I sometimes had to force them to do work. I
