如果一个人谴责你是一个无知者，这可能是他有眼不识泰山。

如果几个人谴责你是一个蠢货，这可能是他们合伙作案。

如果所有人都谴责你的愚蠢，那么错的是所有人吗？

每个人都有偏见。

一日一人前去工作，午休时和几个同事聊天。

此人喜欢科技，即使他们是在一艺术工作室工作，它也这样讨论下去。

结果同事不理解它说什么，立刻离开了。

其中一同事说：“这种书呆子是如何进入我们的公司？”

另一人说：“它每天只是花时间自言自语讨论没有意义没有帮助性的事物。”

这个人全部听到了。它后来再也没和任何同事说话，每天完成任务就离开。

后来，它画出了一幅让所有人都为之惊叹的画。结果那两位同事说：“书呆子不可能做出这样的画作因此这一定是抄袭。”

在重重压迫下，它只得在所有人眼前再次画一幅新的。此次只用半小时，却创作出要用六小时才能画出的作品。

两同事又说：“这种人一定会发明一些莫名其妙的物品用于作弊。”

于是它最后一次在十分钟内又画了一幅画。这幅画完成度很低，却体现一些内涵。画毕，它就收拾行囊离开了。

后来，三幅画成为了此公司旗下著名的三部曲作品，而作者却变为了两同事。

第一幅画的标题叫做青年。

第二幅画的标题叫做壮年。

第三幅画的标题叫做暮年。

但三幅画都有一个共同的特点，即画中人始终保持着它对其他人的偏见，几十年来未变。

Success criteria:

1. The helicopter is able to lift off and fly.
2. Me and my teammates learned something that meets our expectations.
3. Me and my teammates considered safety issues during the design and building process

I. Lift off

We tried our best to let our helicopter lift off. But as long as the motor is not strong enough, we can’t lift it, even though we applied only a little weight on it. We were having a hard time struggling with how to increase the speed of the propellers. Our final solution was to use a 9-volt battery, which is quite a lot for our weak motor, but still, it worked, and the motor spun faster. On the last day of our building, we wondered if the propellers were too small, so we designed two new propellers using the popsicle stick. After installing these onto the helicopter, We found that it works even worse. We think those new popsicle propellers may be too heavy (You can see how weak the motor is…)

II. Learning

Even though we failed on the first criterion, we still learned a lot. First and most importantly, we knew that flying was such a tricky thing. Also, I improved my soldering skill; my teammates learned more about electronic design and circuit making. The new skills learned make me think that we probably succeeded at this point.

III.Safety

I considered safety as always first place. Since we are playing around with electrics, it’s really important to ensure the voltage is OK for the human body. Although Alex was accidentally cut and bleeding by the spinning propeller, that was the only safety issue. After Alex was injured a little because of that, he also started to focus on safety. Overall, I think this was pretty successful, but not as successful as the second criterion.
