Team Collaboration

The team wrote:

We had some problems but the team decided to talk to each other.

The chosen topic is difficult and we studied very much.

Also it was difficult drawing some numbering systems, and it was impossible to write them in the ThinkQuest "text" tool. Then we decided to create some MS Word files.

One member had some difficulties, but it does not hurt our performance.

Instead of copying files, we created our own drawings and took pictures.

We read various texts and tried to summarize what we understood.

We won the challenges with great teamwork and great collaboration. We researched in the municipal library and computer room of the school several times. And at home we finished the work.

Team Diversity

All members are from lower middle class. Only one member was not born in Ubatuba. There are four Catholic girls and two Evangelical.
