it’s so pretty!

the financial side of our protect has not yet been completed and the pricing of ingredients is only half completed.

the final product tastes great, the middle section could use some more tweaking as it deflated during the storage proses, but the project has overall been an amazing succes.

i would say that i pulled my own weight and completed my job within the group.

we have altered the recipe to contain a more specific amount of sugar rather than the maximum. the only other setback has been on deciding the packaging.

the survey has been useful in getting the opinions of our customers, but confusing because of the varied opinions of the masses.

we have been finding the prices of ingredients to scale the products price, however it is quite hard to find the exact measurements per package.

we are making a small, square chocolate cake with meringue in the middle and chocolate coating with hundreds and thousands all around it, the goal audience is Australians who cannot get snack food from Australia and want nostalgia and children who can trick their parents into buying it.

the data collection has been done through a survey of students and teachers, the rest of the alterations and data will be from after we have made the product and then began tweaking the flavor.

i am making the recipe and list the ingredients, this is to make sure that we are using the right amounts of materials to increase profit margins.

getting the stuff to begin cooking is the current goal so that we can begin to cook and test the recipe to improve the product.

This part took place mainly on the first and second day with me creating preliminary sketches (that I forgot to photograph) and talking to other people about there project ideas. This ended with me realizing that most people where going for potential to kinetic energy with gravity and rubber bands, i wanted to do something similar but with water so i started to draw up plans for a water wheel.

on the second day i tweaked those plans to include some small funnels to keep the water inline with the water wheel, this would hopefully help to get more wight onto the turbines and help it to generate more power.

over the course of the project the plan stayed the same and i ended up with an end result that looked approximately like what i had initially planed.

I spent the 2 weeks of the project working on creating a water wheel that could produce power for external use, over the projects I worked mainly on creating the components and making the stand for the display.

Success criteria:

Generates power for an led

Was the design renewable

I was unable to fulfill the first Success criteria as the amount of weight from the water I would need was far more then what the sails could withstand so it would have been impossible to generate any electricity from that design.

The second Success criteria was a success and I was able to create a design that didn’t need to much water (because it didn’t matter how much I used)

Day 1: deciding on what type of project i would be making and then working to create the first plan for the project and refine it till day 2 along with starting on tinker cad.

Day 2: finish planning and give it to Mr. Michie for approval. Finishing the first set of 3d printed parts and then test them for any problems that could pose a problem with the water wheel’s efficiency

Day 3: make second form of the 3d printing and then increasing the size to support the amount of water we need to transport between the two reservoirs.

Day 4: test the finished product and make sure that it works. For the show in on the final day

The final day was composed of disappointment and sadness after realizing that the water wheel would need much more water for it to actually turn and generate electricity for the light to work

over the span of this project we are creating machines to transfer energy between two different forms, we must also be able to explain how the energy transfer occurred and show that the energy reached a certain point to call our project a succes. we need to make the project with minimal materials so that would rule out most complex builds, leading to me selecting these three as options for a build.

Ideas for the project

Water wheel

Pro’s: very renewable

easy to set up

Con’s: needs considerable amounts of water to function with the generators.

makes a small mess

crank light

Pro’s: infinitely renewable

east to set up

Con’s: Basic and common

Rubber band car

Pro’s: Fun and easy to use

Low material cost

Con’s: Difficult to construct properly

common

hunger games for kids

this is a children’s version of the hunger games reaping

i made an among us book mark because i need book mark’s at home and i like among us, this design was the simplest.

i was amazed by the incredible connection of the thread thou it was really hard to know how long you needed the thread to be. I was confident about it but i didn’t really have a choice. A tip for any one who douse this next keep track of your needles.
