Assignment
Our research question for our project is: "In what way can we best improve the harvest in the dry summer of Philippines".
In the Philippines there is often a dry summer season. Because of this, much of the harvest fails. They do have a water tank, but the irrigation system is not good enough to provide all the plants with sufficient water. Usually they use a simple sprinkler, but because the water evaporates in summer, the plants still don't get enough moisture to survive. So the client expects us to investigate what kind of irrigation system we can best use to improve the situation in the Philippines.
We will also investigate which plants can grow best with the given circumstances by looking at which plants are normally grown there and which plants (from other environments) can grow there as well.
To get a wider view on the Philippines, we will also do a small research on the energy facilities in the Philippines. We will also do a small research to find out where in the Philippines our help is most needed.

Proces
In the beginning of this project, things went pretty bad in terms of the process. The communication in our group was not always good. We reflected on this as a group and came to the conclusion that we have to do better! Fortunately, we are certainly going to do so. The communication in the group went better and better. We also started to help each other when we could not work something out. Ultimately, all tasks are well distributed and everyone has contributed to each task.
