Discovery Park Challenge The Discovery Park Challenge was a very intriguing and difficult challenge. The purpose of the challenge was to make a traveling exhibit for Discovery Park of America. We only had a given amount of time to make it. We had to be very thorough with our description of the project and make a good design with good information in it. Since it was FFA’s 100 year anniversary, we decided that the exhibit should be about pig farming. I learned a lot in the project and it was a very difficult one to finish on time. The engineering design process was applied in the Discovery Park Challenge. First, we had to find a problem, which was to make the design and information of a traveling exhibit for the Discovery Park of America.

It was one of the hardest ones and there wasn’t much success. The purpose of it was to make a rover out of the given supplies that could travel the furthest. This would be to show how NASA needs rovers. It also shows the engineering part to make rovers, like the engineers that work on rovers in NASA. The NASA Moon Rover challenge is a good challenge and had many learning experiences in …show more content…
The first step, define the problem, was that we had to make a rover out of the given materials that would travel the furthest. Then, we would establish our design and write it down, second step. After that, we built our rover design the way it said at first, third step. Furthermore, we then tested it and it did not work. Since it did not work, we redesigned it, fourth step. Finally, we presented our results which I think mine and Branson’s rover went two feet and one inch. That proves that we used the engineering design process in this challenge. I learned many things in the NASA Moon Rover Challenge. I learned that sometimes you may have to think outside the box to get something to work very good. I also learned that when something doesn’t work or fails, that you should not give up. You should continue to try and make it better. Another thing that I learned is that if both of the partners work just as hard, then the work will get done quicker and the project will be better. Although, the NASA Moon Rover challenge did have some flaws. I believe that you should not have to make the triangle wheels at first. They will not work and they didn’t work. Another thing is that there should be better material to use for the wheels at least because there was no grip on the floor. I also think that maybe there should have been more materials to work with. However, the NASA Moon Rover Challenge was a good one and I learned many
