Storage Devices Page 1-5

Developing Ideas

In design specification 1, I used I bold cursive black text for the title and drew two different storage devices; floppy disk and thumb drive. It is very eye catching. This design specification was very rushed as I just wanted to get it finished before class.

In design specification 2, I used I colorful bubble text and a picture of USBs. Far better looking, more eye catching and more kid friendly. For this one I had much more time to look at pictures on line and create a good draft.

Cover Page Design Specification

Of the two design specifications, I choose the second design specification as it is more child friendly and colorful. I think the font of the first design specifications is not appropriate for the task and is not as colorful. 

Peer Evaluation Days 1-3

Day 1:

Yashvi, Kalyani, Avantika:

For the tech fair, they created two websites. These websites were about baking. I think the websites were very visually attracting. However, I think they could chose another topic to focus on as I thought baking was not fit for the tech fair. They also made an interesting video. I felt it was good but took a little too much inspiration from another video by BuzzFeed.

Day 2:

William:

Using a website called 'Sploder' William created and Arcade game. The game was very creative and intricate. However, the game was very easy and could have been more difficult by adding more obstacles. I was a nice game, however I don't think it'll make it into the tech fair.

Magnus and Amirezza:

Drawing inspirations from the latest Star Wars Movie, The Force Awakens, they crated the lovable droid, BB-8. As they joked, BB-8 is 8BB backwards. The used a remote controlled car inside a globe to make the body, and used magnets to to attach a cardboard head. It was inventive and was a pity that we could not see a live demonstration. It looks so cool and I would select it for the Tech Fair, but it looks incomplete.

Abdullah:
A retro styled fighting game, much like the well-known Super Smash Bros, was the topic of this conversation. Having been working on this project for almost a year, Mugen was a game featuring famous video game characters such as Pikachu and... Kirby. I hate Kirby... Using fighting styles from Mortal Combat, this game was very cool and I would sent it through to the tech fair.

Day 3:

Francesco and Daniil:

They made a remote controlled rocket. Using a computer controller, batteries, matches, etc, to launch a rocket from a distance. The clearly knew what they were talking about, however I would have liked to see the actual rocket, not just pictures.

Rishabh and Sahil: 

Rishabh and Sahil created a first person shooter game. In the game you are a lonely gunman fighting some ghostly bots. It was creative and posed a difficult challenge however I feel that the game was very simple.

Jackson and Mario:
Did not present. Refer to blogg: marioshabanadesign2015.blogspot.ae
Jackson and Mario created Tomaton. Tomatan is a robot that feeds you tomatoes when you are running. it works when you turn it on, it grabs tomatoes from its backside and brings it up to the mouth so it can be eaten. The robot was developed by Japanese ketchup and tomato company kagome.

Oliver and Sameer:

An old blackberry

As I now start to make the physical project, I have brought in an old blackberry which I will break into may pieces. In these pictures, you get a front and back view, and a picture of the blackberry without its back.

Creating Techlery

Creating Techlery/ The Method

Reference: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Jewelry

Step 1: Get ideas

·         Look at different pictures of readymade jewellery with tech.

·         Look at pieces of jewellery that I already have.

·         Look at jewellery at the store.

Step 2: Decide on materials

We won’t be using pearls or beads but small pieces of tech. This includes:

·         Keys (from a keyboard)

·         Motherboard (cut into small pieces)

·         Sim card (cut into small pieces)

·         Wire

·         String

·         Batteries

·         Chain

·         Clasps

Step 3: Sketch the image

I will need to plan what size it will be, what it will look like, etc.

Step 4: Gather the resources

Get the Wire, Chain, Clasps, String, Etc. Get it from a local craft store or supermarket. I will get the rest of the resources from tech around my house.

Step 5: Get the correct tools

I will need:

• Pliers (nylon jaw pliers, round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, and bent chain nose pliers.)
• Scissors
• Wire cutters

I have some of this lying around my house but the rest I will need to get from a local craft store or supermarket.

Step 6: Bend the wires to the shape I desire

Whether it is a loop or a straight line, I need to make it into the shape I need.

Step 7: Attach clasps and other resources

Following the design from step 3, I will but on the resources in order and design I wish. Finally, when all the stuff are on, I will add the clasps.

How this benefits the society:

Personal information being online can lead to cyber-bullying and internet piracy. This projects helps privatize ( I have no idea if that is a word) personal information and protect yourself from harmful attacks.

Reflection:

It took me quite some time to find this project. Most links led to science fair projects. And when they did lead to tech fair projects, little to no information would be available about the project. I search the words "Tech fair ideas" and went through many pages until one caught my eye. It provided me good information about the project and its creator. I think this would be a good tech fair idea for me because it requires little to no know about programming and technology in general.
