Firstly, before we show anything, it might be a good idea to introduce ourselves. The group we work in consists of Kuba, Cas, Steyn and Simon. Kuba is 14 years old and the rest is 13 years old. Our names from left to right: Steyn, Simon, Cas, Kuba. All of us have different main hobbies, which are: Fishing (Steyn) playing video games (Kuba) playing hockey (Simon) and running (Cas). None of us know what ambitions we have, but Simon and Steyn know what we want to specialize in.

When we were searching on the internet for inspiration we found out that we wanted to build a solar bag!

This is how solar energy is converted into energy that you can use.

Beforehand, we needed to find out what we were going to build with solar panels. We all agreed on building a small, cheap solar powered car. To reduce the cost we agreed on not including a battery. This meant that the car could only work when there was sunlight. We needed a base, some wires powering some wheels, and a solar panel. It would be small, but if we ever needed to increase the complexity, we could add more wheels to balance it better and also some sides. The base build would only be a floor, 4 wheels, a small solar panel , a motor and some wires to connect the solar panel to the motor powering the wheels.

While beginning to work on this Weebly, Cas, our main video editor, started doing interviews. Simon was working on the Weebly, and Steyn was finding information and helping. Kuba was helping with everything, but mostly with the interview.

The Reflection:
what can we do better: work better together and do more in the lessons!
