My ambition for my future career is to become a sports physiotherapist. I enjoy helping people and I love sports so it's a great combination. I have been to many physios in the past so I have some knowledge of this field.

In this task, I had to draw 30 pictures in 30 circles with a given time limit of 3 minutes. This helped with creativity and critical thinking. It also provided a significant insight into the challenges that we will face amongst this course in Action Project.

In this task, the class were put into groups of 3 to create protective gear from reused paper within a given time limit. In my group were Aaron, Fonty, and me. We created the SkinBrella3000, an umbrella that not only protects humans from the harsh conditions of the rain and sun but also is environmentally friendly and completely organic. After the creation process, we pitched it to the class in the form of a skit which helped improve our creativity and confidence speaking amongst large groups of people.

In this task, the class were in the same groups as the previous task and were given 3 pieces of paper. With these 3 pieces of paper, we had to use our creativity to think of an item from the 1st card in the constraints of the text on the 2 other cards. In this example, we had an image and then a card that read, "Must be suitable for... EXTREME SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS" and a card that read, "Must be related to... MINING." From this, our group decided that the image may be an underground cart used for racing. While collaborating, this improved our creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking.

We might have generated additional statistics and concentrated more on our product's logistics, according to the feedback we received for this task. The next time, I believe we should concentrate more on locating facts and less on the humorous parts of our presentation.

The hardest issue for me was coming up with the ideal plan to rethink your partner's lunch break because I was unable to choose a plan that would work best in this particular situation and be the most efficient. I'll get beyond this problem in the future by giving my divergent thinking more careful consideration.

The requirement to continuously review the cue cards was less effective. I was distracted by several groups' (including mine) lack of eye contact with the audience, and I thought the usage of cue cards was a little underwhelming overall.

The biogas group was one of the other groups that I thought had a really good idea. This approach, in my opinion, is an excellent one since it effectively addresses the issue and the presenters' coherence made the presentation easier to comprehend.

Our group, in my opinion, had the most communication difficulties since, although having a strong idea and pitch, we lacked the strongest communication skills and could have done a better job of explaining it. We may, for instance, ask audience members questions about our issue to get their attention.

It was a positive experience for me because the expo allowed me to network and get feedback from people outside my students and classmates. After I was able to share my idea with other adults, it became easier to think of different applications because our product was more aimed at adults.

# data[].attributes.body
A change I think our group should make after the expo would be to reduce the amount of features in the product. Since our product is quite expensive due to the number of products and because of the number of products we think it is a luxury product, people are less likely to buy it.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the things I gained from the expo was the ability to enthusiastically and cogently express my opinions. This ability can be useful if I had to show someone or a group of people anything or an idea.

# data[].attributes.body
A major challenge my group and I faced during the expo, was the fact that we were quite unprepared for the number of questions we faced. Although we did manage to answer every question, we often found ourselves struggling to come up with solutions the problems the adults were giving us.
