DESCRIPTION
We worked in teams to analyze the way people walk. We had to collect data using a smartphone app and observe how our data subjects walked. We used measurements of height, leg length, stride length, and number of steps to reach a conclusion. We found that people that are taller take fewer and longer steps than shorter people, as well as walk with more force.

REFLECTION
I enjoyed working with my group, and we have very few disagreements. We could have been more efficient with work and done it more quickly so that we would have extra time to take our project a step further. We struggled with communication, as one of our group members had spent much of our project time working on the OP-51 plane that the STEM program has been building for years. Because of this, they were not always caught up with the group and able to contribute as much as we'd hoped. We could have done better with communication if all members of the team were able to work on our project an equal amount. We finished our project on time and with minimal conflict.
I worked on this project with Alexis Bishop, Hayden Shaffer, and Wilson Perry.
