The Junkyard Ramp activity showed students how to work productively in groups. In this
activity we had to build a ramp out of boxes and other sorts of garbage in twenty minutes that
could support a melon with a group of six people. I don't think that there was enough boxes the
build the ramps high enough to make the melon go far and the gym was very crowded and hard
to move around in.
I learned that working in groups will help you with many things. The Junkyard Ramp
activity was a very fun and interesting activity. This activity showed me how to work in teams.
This activity pushed us all to participate and work together as a team through brainstorming and
problem solving as a group to come up with the best ramp we could.
I feel that through the Junkyard Ramp project you can build various teamwork based skill
sets and sharpen communication skills among groups. This project has given me a good idea of
the different group work projects we will be doing throughout the year in 2016 senior capstone
class.
