Tuesday:
- start the paper mache (make at least 3 layers)
- at my house after school
- will need a beach ball
Saturday:
- spray paint
- poster
- continue the tech stuff
- at Lina's house at 1 o'clock
Sunday:
- continue the tech stuff
- make sure everything is finished
Task 2 - 3 project ideas:
Idea 1: Hologram
Last year Lina and I were thinking of doing a hologram but we ended up changing it so this year we were thinking of making one. We didnt end up picking this because we though it wasn't creative or challenging enough and theres probably loads of people who have made this before are are going to make it.
Idea 2: BB8
This is the one Lina and I decided to do in the end, this BB8 would move and would have a body and a head although we then realised making a head wouldnt work so we had to just make a body. This idea seemed very interesting and creative and we haven't seen any one in our school make it yet and it is indeed very challenging. We also thought that lots of people would like this which would give us a very good chance in making it to the tech fair.
Idea 3: A Projector
We were also thinking of making a projector using a phone but then we realised that someone in the class was already doing it and some people had done it last year. This projector was also very easy to make so it wouldn't have been much of a challenge since all you needed really was a phone, a box and a lense and a few other small things.
Task 3 - Presentation to represent your chosen idea
Task 4 - Design Brief:
We are designing a life size, phone controlled BB8 from star wars that will be able to move around and rotate. We are aiming this at star wars fans as well as kids, the star wars fans will obviously enjoy this a lot since BB8 is a star wars characters and since it is very big and moves it'll be very fun for kids to play with and watch. Our design will be used for entertainment purposes. The design is going to include a big beach ball with paper mache over it that will need to be spray painted orange and yellow.
Task 5 - Peer Evaluation:
(i was not in class this lesson as i had practices for international day so this will be done soon)
Task 6 - Reflection:
Throughout the research I learnt how to advertise a product by making the poster. I do think I used appropriate website for research because it seemed reliable and it had lots of information and instructions and the materials were listed so it made it very easy. I didn't manage to follow everything and I didn't maintain the deadlines, I did miss a few things but I ended up catching up with everything in the end. I think it will be enough to enter the tech fair because we did work very hard on it and put a lot of effort but who knows because we haven't finished it so we don't know how it will look but if it goes as planned then we hopefully will end up making it to the tech fair. If I would redo this then I would add a head because we weren't able to add one because it wouldn't balance on the body but I think its fine the way we did it.
