Reflection
My experience with the Kinetic Sculpture Project at UMBC has been incredible. From scavenging for up-cycled parts in the dumpster to connecting plastic bags together with an iron to racing the completed vehicle 15 miles through the streets of Baltimore, participating in this project has truly been transformative. The major selling point of the project for me was how effectively it integrated the diversity of the backgrounds of the students who contributed and applied it to tackle whatever problems needed to be solved moving forward.
