My Three tech fair Ideas

Unit Question:
How can I use technology to create a masterpiece project to be displayed in the Tech Fair?

1.  Box filler:
There will be three boxes that form something like a train and a machine holding the items will send it to the part where the item it released from the machine into the one of the boxes. The three boxes will moves from side to side so that each box gets an item at a time. We could make this using NXT Mindstorm. if we are able to assemble it after moved it will be good other wise it will hard to move around as it is quite big.
Process:
use NXT Mindstorm to create the machine and a track for the the boxes to move on and place objects on the machine so that the objects will be the one to fill the boxes.



2. Solar Phone/Tablet charger:
We will need small solar panels that will be connected onto a small platform with a place for a cable input/charger for the phone. The only problem is that we need sunlight and in some places sunlight is not available.



3. Jar Speakers:
We will need two jars, some cables and a conductor. Other material will be included. It will be small and portable. The problem is that we may not have some of the materials needed.

Reflection and Evaluation

I am satisfied with my end result and I am happy that I could finish this project. According to me it involves anything a school will need to know about a student.
I could have tried to be a bit more colourful and manged the text boxes better as they were hard to move around without disrupting the typed work.

Student application Form 3


Student application form 2


Student application Form 1

We were asked to create an entry form for a student as if we were the owner of the school. We needed to make our own school name and a detailed form.

Evaluation

Most of the comments I got were good but some included things that I could change to make my work better. One of the things that was commented was that I could have filled up the empty spaces in my brochure which I think is true as it will advertise my product in detail. I could have also annotated my product to give the viewer a better understanding of the tank and i could have reduce my prices a bit to make them seem more realistic. My brochure could have been created with a better and more eye catching background and I could have varied the fonts so that the brochure could have turned out to be more attractive.
Some others have commented on me making my investigation post shorter because it is filled with a lot of information and the paragraphs have no spaces between them. I agree to this as it can get quite boring to the viewer as he or she goes on reading a advertising piece of work that has not many pictures that could help the viewer to clearly understand what is being advertised and any other extra information.
