Introduction
For our final year we are tasked with creating a engineering project individually or as a group. We are given almost full freedom and decision making to prefect the project and present it at the end of the year. After brainstorming we decided we wanted to make affordable fold-able housing. We were inspired by similar ideas such as ten fold engineering and Honomobo. After talking to a mentor we decided to be more specific and focus on a goal for our housing. There were large fires in our area and many firefighters had to come from out county and state. Firefighters have harsh hours usually 24 hours on and 24 hours off. They don't have a place to sleep so many just have to sleep outside still in their toxic gear. So we decided to solve this housing crisis by creating mobile fire homes firefighters could sleep in.

Reflection
The project turned out great. The slide presentation has a lot of clear information and fully explains our solution. As a group we worked together well and got a lot of work done. We probably could have communicated without all the arguing. The were times when we were just doing our own thing without saying a word to each other. This team did not goof around unlike some other groups I have been in we were usually very focused. I learned a lot of cool skills like like 3-D modeling with fusion and sketching blueprints. I really enjoyed doing the research on foldable housing . My work ethic for this project was good but I fee; I worked to slowly. I feel I could've done more to help. Hopefully in the future I hope to improve my writing. The presentation night turned out great we were able to show off our model and slideshow at the same times thanks to having multiple screens. I am very proud of this project and a hope one this this can help someone.
