A Maglev train is a magnetic levitating train, it is levitating from magnets on the train and track. That’s why it’s called a Maglev train. On the train bottom of our design, there are 2 strips on the top and bottom of the bottom of the train, there are 5 magnets in the middle too. On the track there are 3 strips on on the middle on on top and one on the bottom. There 8 ring magnets altogether. 4 magnets in between each strip magnet.

Nothing worked, and part of our track failed. The train magnets would attract to the track magnets and tip over and attract to the side of the magnet. Also we had to keep taking the tape off and keep putting it on. It was pretty confusing.

The experience wasn’t very good, though we got inspired by other groups that had a success. We tried and tried, It wasn’t successful still. It was really challenging there were tape scraps everywhere. Before we had started we taped down the track, so our arms were crunched in the box when we all tried to work on the track taping down the magnets. The The experience with my group was fine, it was kinda hard because there were only 2 jobs, track and train. But we helped each other so it was fine.

This is our group design, but we changed it so it would work.
