tile, takes a right turn, and then goes forward,

>>The thing I learned the most was just working
with other people, and how to work with them

8
00:00:55,030 --> 00:00:56,030
efficiently.

00:00:56,030 --> 00:01:00,659
>>I would say the biggest thing I learned was
being a part of a team.

00:01:00,659 --> 00:01:05,740
>>Teamwork is very important, and teamwork brings
out your communication skills, time management

skills.

12
00:01:06,740 --> 00:01:10,190
>>I think the most important thing I learned
was the NASA system, the NASA way of doing

13
00:01:10,190 --> 00:01:17,330
things, we got to observe NASA professionals
and interact with them closely, and, I think

14
00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:20,250
a big part of that is working in a team.

to pick roles that we weren't necessarily

00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,640
suited for.

>>Someone who's really good at programming,
they were encouraged to be part of the design

00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:56,830
team, and someone who has very little knowledge
of software was encouraged to be part of the

programming team.

00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:09,110
>>We had a few hiccups, but that was also another
part of this learning experience, is that

25
00:02:09,110 --> 00:02:14,569
you fail and our rover didn't work in certain
areas, so that way we were able to manage

26
00:02:14,569 --> 00:02:20,969
our time wisely so that we can make those
necessary adjustments to make it a success.

27
00:02:26,659 --> 00:02:31,480
>>I feel like this is a different experience
from a group project because it felt like

28
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,120
doing an actual job as an engineer.

29
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,720
So we would have to go back to our hotel rooms
and stuff like that and still work really

30
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,040
hard and diligently to make sure that this was
a successful mission to Mars.

>>It was different from a group project because
we didn't focus on one topic, this project

33
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:04,470
enveloped so many different disciplines and aspects, we didn't have just the engineering side of things

34
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:11,160
just the software side of things, but there
was also outreach objectives and a funding
