final reflection

                      Reflection On Creation

We finally made it to the Tech Fair! It was on the 20th march. It's over now & this is a brief info about my whole journey from the beginning till the Tech Fair:

First of all, I started off with my idea which is a bioscope and I thought of how to make it technology type as because the original bioscope doesn't involve technology. Then I got into a group with my friend &  her idea was to create a video and so it was easier for us to combine both of our ideas and make it technology type. We decided to put the video on the iPad and then putting the ipad inside the bioscope. We then broke our jobs down, like she is responsible for making the video and I am responsible for making the bioscope box. Then finally we both were done with our project but a little problem arrived which was the video didn't formated to iPad as because it was created on windows movie maker but we tried many different converter but it didn't work. Therefore we had to put the computer inside the box. We actually tried very hard but things didn't work out very well, for example- after creating it the first feedback we got was a computer inside box. It was actually hurtful but we also later modified everything and got into Tech Fair & that was what we wanted. Later we added a home made projector to our project. On the Tech Fair day everything went well and I hope next year we can improve by learning from the errors that happened this year (:

Bioscope


Reflection: In this task I had to think about the Tech Fair and how I got to it. The errors that took place and how I improved. This task allowed me to learn how to overcome errors and what I can do to make ma better project next year.

Steps to create

                                                   Design & Creation

1) 
First get as many box as you want but one is enough for one
bioscope.


       
2) 
Second, you make a hole in middle of the front face of the box.

                                                               3) 
                                                                         Then you put a book inside and cover it's around with newspaper
                      to keep it strong and from moving. 
4)
Then to decorate the inside to make look like theater. You cut
Red shopping bags and using straws make curtains & cover
the background with red shopping bag.
           
5)
Then you decorate the box the way you want.


 
                                                6) 
Here you go! It's ready (:

Reflection: In this task I showed all the steps that took me to create my bioscope.

reflection

Reflection on planning (2) :

There had been some changes to my plan. On 18th February I was supposed to to collect cardboard box but unfortunately it took me a bit long to find them. I also changed my design like the tube thing where people where supposed to look through, I changed it to smaller tube to make it easier for people to see the video. Also in the plan I wrote that me and my friend are going to meet up somewhere and complete the project but we cancelled it and we decided to work in school. These are the changes so far and currently I am working on building my cardboard thing. I am taking photos while I am creating and I will upload them soon :)

Reflection: In this task I had to update on what stage I am on creating my bioscope. It helped by making me go back to how my plan was and how it is now and how long will it take me to finish it.
