First Post! Term 1

Criteria A:Inquiry and Analyzing
Criteria B: Developing Ideas
Criteria C: Creating the solution
Criteria D: Evaluating the solution\


The Problem

The UAE Nurses Association claims that one of the most difficult parts of their job is
dealing with small children who have a fear of needles. Although the association has some
tips and tricks like putting numbing cream to partially freeze the surface of the skin
before injecting medicine, sometimes the anxiety levels of small children are so high that
it is difficult to get them to hold still. If only there was an easier way to administer
medicine within the syringe.


MY Idea/problem

I'm going to create a funky design of a pencil case, Why? Because my sister always has issues with her pencil case, they are normally to small or heavy and dull but I'm going to create a pencil case with a wide amount of space. I'm going to use the website Tinker cad which will help me. The material I will use for the pencil case will be made out of plastic so it wont hurt my sister or wont be too heavy. I will also make it colorful and eye catchy so she would never forget it.

Idea 2/ problem
I want to create a safe cover for glass cups, Why? because now a days kids are always playing around likely to drop glass or literally anything breakible but not for long. On tinker cad i want to make a safe border around glass cups which can be made out of strong material, that doesn't break and i will design it to look amazing and safe.
In class we did a partner project where we had to plan our design cycle


Reflection:

Today in class we where assigned to answer questions on the board about 3D printing. I learnt many facts about it which is on the image in the right. We learnt that the 3D pinter is different to the normal because 2D has x and except 3D had three dimension, it adds volume as well as x, y and z. After that i presented it then we watched a video

CRITERIA B

  1. In Term 1 students created the design folder in the form of blogs. As the subject caters to design technology they were opportunities to understand the design cycle through the use of videos, activity sequencing in the form of a comic strip through which students were able to get a better grasp over the subject as they progressed through the design cycle. The current unit about 3D Modelling enables students to design ergonomically designed 3D models. Students worked in collaboration by brainstorming about 3D printing and its technologies which enhanced their awareness about 3D printing. They were introduced to designing software - TinkerCAD and with the help of tutorials familiarized themselves in building objects consisting of basic shapes. Students made choices to write design situations and design briefs for modelling 3D objects. Noaf has worked systematically all tasks according to the instructions of the teacher. She has been able to identify design situations which are environment friendly. She is encouraged to put in more content in her reflections and brainstorm sessions. She needs to provide evidence for the design situations identified. She needs to complete the TinkerCAD tutorial lessons and the reflections.You are currently at a level 5/8.
