I found how interesting this project is after first participating in International Cyberfair. I enjoy the way our group works together as a team to finish an entire website and begin the study on our own. For the interview sessions, I really liked interacting with companies and getting to know new and friendly green companies who care and work hard for our Earth. Moreover, I learned about the importance of a circular economy and how we could easily decrease carbon emissions in our daily lives through participating in this project. However, we still need to improve our time management skills. For instance, we can start working on quantitative research on our topic first to provide us more time to improve on different sections and continue to optimize our website. Yet, we did try our best during the whole project and we didn't regret anything, but we'd surely do better the next time!

Over the past half a year or so, our group had been working hard on our first International Cyberfair together. For the most of us, this is the first time we ever participated in the competition, and it had been amazing. Throughout the entire journey not only did we gain knowledge and experience from our project itself, we also became friends and learned from one another. For instance, we did our first ever interview. We first had to came up with helpful and insightful questions, then contact companies for permission to interview. Though we had our successes at the end, we did go through some ups and downs, days where we felt like our project wouldn’t work out and days when we didn’t think we could finish the project. However, as a team, we got through the hard times together and completed the project. All the writing, research, analyzing, and editing paid off in the end as we looked at our months of work, feeling accomplished and proud for all we’ve done. If I was given the opportunity to do this all over again, I would, and hope to improve and learn from this experience.

I'm glad our topic is circular economy because it was a great opportunity for me to learn more about the sustainable economic model. We also interview Ccilu. Ccilu tells us that circular economy isn't a slogan that we say all the time. It's about action. I understand how they use coffee grounds and plastic bottles to form shoes and how this product improves society. Additionally, being part of this investigation I learn how to organize information and cooperate with my teammates.

Over this Cyberfair project, we learn about the circular economy. In this project, we had many happy moments. Although we faced many problems our team worked together courageously to face those problems. We know that there are many difficulties along the way of the Cyberfair project. Therefore, we learn from each other to be better leaders. Moreover, in the interview section, I learned we need to protect the environment to make the world a better place. Knowing how the circular economy works and how the products are made to solve environmental problems. In our team, we united to finish the whole project. Our team is being kind to help each other out. During this process, we overcame all the obstacles to achieve the goal we made. We know we are trying our best and we will keep moving forward to challenge at a higher level.

It is my pleasure to joing this club and participate in the International Cyberfair competition. This competition has been very challenging but interesting. This year we are investigating the circular economy. ​Learning about circular economy allows us to understand that the world needs a sustainable economy. Also, after interviewing Ccliu, it has significantly improve my knowledge about the importance of eco-friendy product. I learn how to use both coffee grounds and plastic bottles to produce environmental friendly products and how they help the society.  Overall, I learned a lot in this club and I hope improve from this experience.

After this cyberfair project, I have learned a lot of new knowledge and new fields. Before I participated in the cyberfair project, I had no knowledge about this, and I didn't know what the Circular Economy was doing. But with the discussion with the players and the efforts of everyone, I finally learned about the importance of Circular Economy. Many people are silently guarding and promoting environmental protection where we can't see.  In addition, in this project, I also learned how important communication with teammates is. Communication is the most important this in a team, without it we can’t achieve anything. I really thank all my teammates, we have reach a new goal in our life and we will be working harder in the future.

Over this cyber fair project, we worked together successfully. Even though I joined the Cyberfair team in the middle, my teammates. Throughout the process of finishing this project, not only gained skills in research, and analysis. Coming up with questions and contact and finally having an interview with Ccliu, we learned lots of information about the circular economy. I’m very thankful for my teammates, teacher, and Ms. Yuan who provides such valuable interview information, non of them were indispensable to accomplishing everything we’ve done.
