In order to complete the webpages of this project, we applied relevant knowledge from various disciplines, learned many new skills and knowledge, and even fulfilled our potential in the process of working with each other. Most importantly, the teammates and teachers from different classes have become good friends. We have gone from being strangers to playing and working hard together. We have shared with each other more frequently about our learning and life, which is an unexpected result.
