This week we did our first project named Inventions and Innovations. During this project we had to research the genealogy of 3 products and then pick one product and find out the factors of demand and design apply to that product. My partner, Brycen, and I chose the MacBook Air while doing the genealogy of computers on a PowToon. After this came Design Challenge #2 on Friday in which we had to create some vehicle to carry lego bricks from a line of tape to an "x" mark a certain distance away. My group and I decided to build a plane which was at first a paper airplane but after testing we decided to and also built a foam plane that could hold the lego bricks better. After a quick weekend on Monday we created a timeline from all of the major inventions around the world from the end of the Iron Age to 2000. Our group had Central Asia and we were able to come up with a lot of inventions such as the nuclear power plant, horse collar, anti-ballistic missiles, and tank treads. After this we peer reviewed our project, I did Nadir's and Enzo's plus Mitch's and Ahkil's. Finally today, Tuesday, we got introduced to this circuit board called Edwino in which you can hook up to a computer, create your own customized code, and then output it to the circuit board and it will perform your code. I really enjoyed this as I have an android and java programming background and really love programming myself.
