>>Welcome to Armstrong NCAS Fall 2017.

3
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,430
Today is the final rover competition for 4
separate teams.

4
00:00:22,430 --> 00:00:26,250
40 community college students came from across
the nation.

5
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:32,400
Today they are testing their rovers to compete
to collect rover parts and identify minerals.

00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:05,920
>>NCAS overall was a 3 day blitz of nonstop
science, nonstop teamwork, nonstop information.

8
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,150
From the moment that you get here until the
moment that you leave, you're either working

9
00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:13,250
on something, you're either learning from
someone, or you're spending time and bonding

10
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:16,420
with other like minded scientists and young
people.

11
00:01:16,420 --> 00:01:22,190
I learned how to work in groups, learned how
to be a good leader- not only leading the

12
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:27,120
team but also being a part of the team; learning
how to work with them rather than just dictating

13
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,000
what to do to them.

00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,840
>>I definitely learned the value of collaboration
and how important it is to listen to every

16
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:05,630
single member on your team instead of just
trying to write them off.

17
00:02:05,630 --> 00:02:12,030
We had an issue with our rover where it wouldn't
close and somebody who is a member, a team

18
00:02:12,030 --> 00:02:16,390
member who is in charge of the financial aspect
of it, so not engineering, came up with a

19
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,900
solution and it ended up working brilliantly.

00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:08,269
>>One of the things that I really valued that
I got out of NCAS these past few days was that

22
00:03:08,269 --> 00:03:13,109
I was able to meet so many new people and
what they brought to the table was their experiences

23
00:03:13,109 --> 00:03:16,480
that I had no clue about, it was just really
awesome being able to meet and interact with

24
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,159
new people, and I learned a lot of things
about just networking and being able to take

25
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,800
a look at the whole field of engineering.

00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,420
>>It was amazing, I mean we built a rover in
the span of 24 hours, put it into a competition

28
00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:52,440
setting, revamped the design to put into
a secondary competition setting, we basically

29
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:58,860
built an entire company from the ground up
in a 48 hour span and on top of that we got

30
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,880
to rub shoulders with NASA scientists who
are currently in the trenches working on the
