Week Three

During week three, the team was still hindered by the fact that a SeaPerch kit was not assigned to the group, and the construction still could not commence. The group did receive the SeaPerch in week three lab, which is on Friday afternoons. However, the group drafted the project overview, and set weekly goals to accomplish in order to stay on track. The project goal, which is to make the SeaPerch more hydrodynamic, was finalized, and the test to determine if the group was successful in meeting the goal was planned. In order to test if the new design is more hydrodynamic, the group is going to construct the original SeaPerch design and time how long it takes for the SeaPerch to move the length of the Drexel University pool. Once the newly designed SeaPerch is constructed and finished, this model will also be tested and timed to see how long it takes to cross the pool. If the newly designed SeaPerch moves across the pool faster, than it is more hydrodynamic.
