The Problem
My year group at school worked on a project collaborating with RAAFA to solve a problem. The problem was that the residents were not receiving quick-delivery, good-quality food coming from the cafes. My group and I designed a golf buggy that could deliver food to everyone under $50,000 and was environmentally friendly and appropriate for all climates.
My Experience
I had a great time working with RAAFA and learning so much about the community over there. Working with my group allowed me to use my teamwork skills. We needed to work together to be able to create something with everyone doing the same amount of work so that it was fair. We needed to communicate with each other in order to get our pitch of the solution done and so that we didn’t have more than 1 person in our group researching the same thing, so we could work effectively and use our time well. We needed to problem solve to be able to come up with a design that was efficient, practical, affordable and accessible. I learnt a lot about these powers during my time on this project and I really encourage you to meet with a service partner in your area and ask them about any problems that you can solve, to better your life and many others.
