I believe the greatest strength of my exhibition project was the fact that took the original idea/mechanics of a salmon cannon and it made my own. Mine in real life would very harmful for the salmon, but I think as I presented throughout exhibition night more and more people were educated on the effects of dam, both good and bad. I am most proud of the fact that only did my cannon work, but it can bruise a grown boy and chip off a bit of a plaster ceiling.
I learned that the actual thinking and planning out stages of this specific exhibition was much harder than the construction. I found myself redoing blueprints for the actual mechanism of the cannon over and over, it took a few tries before I finalized the nuts and bolts. If I would've have a bit more time I would've built some sort of stabilizer for the air chamber (body of cannon) so it wouldn't move as much when the air was released.
