Ideas for Tech Fair

How can I use technology to produce a master piece project to be displayed in the Tech 



Below are my 3 ideas for tech fair, my partner and I will present at EISM tech fair 2014.


Idea 1: Rubik's Cube Solver

Definition: This idea is a robot made out of a mindstorms kit. It can scan a Rubik's cube, calculate the appropriate algorithms required then proceed to solve the Rubik's cube using two motors.

Hardware requirements:                                                    
-Computer
-Mindstorm's set
-Android phone

Software requirements:
-Mindstorms program
-Android OS

Advantages:
-Unique
-Intriguing

Disadvantages:
-Hard to program
-Expensive

People Required:
The amount of people required will be 2 or 3 because one will be required to build it and one to two required to program because it is very hard to understand.

I like this Idea because not much people will be able to do it making it interesting. I already have the hardware requirements and have some basic coding knowledge which will enable me to do this.

Idea 2: JavaScript Game

This game will be programmed and designed in a program called MIT app inventor. The objective of the game will be to come in contact with another object as many times as possible.

Hardware requirements:
-Computer running windows
-Android device

Software requirements:
-Android development bridge
-Android OS
-Javascript writing programs
-MIT app inventor

Advantages:
-Interactive
-Fun

Disadvantages:
-Coding knowledge required
-Time consuming

People Required:
2 people are required at the max for this project, one to program and code it and the other to design the project.

I would do this idea because I have already made a game in the past and will easily be able to make another one. I enjoy coding because it unlocks the true potential of my molecular structure.

Idea 3: Robot

Hardware requirements:
-Wheels
-Motor
-RC controller
-Receiver

Software requirements:
-If rc controller is not available android phone with controller app

Advantages:
-Easy to build

Disadvantages:
-Mainstream
-Nothing new


My partner for these projects will be Poya Peirovedin in 8AA

Term 1 Reflection

We have finished term 1 very recently. I very much enjoyed working in ICT this term. It was very fun and helped me enhance my skills of working in IT. I learnt how to create websites using many different methods like HTML. The work we have done was making an HTML document, using that document as a website, several investigation tasks and making a video. We also made some small tasks. Working in IT for term 1 was very enjoyable and I look forward to the work in term 2.

Reflection of Dreamweaver and Weebly

I really like both of these programs for making websites, they both have good advantages and great pros.

I like weebly because it is simple to use and has a very easy interface, it creates good looking websites and has good. Weebly has a lot of features such as buttons and videoplayers. I like dreamweaver because it makes writing HTML easier.

In comparison to dreamweaver, i think that weebly is much better. I think so because when I went on to weebly, I was sure that I was going like dreamweaver more because it looked very hard. However, when i came to the end of the work, I felt that weebly was much easier to make a website as has a very simple mechanism and can help me make websites faster.
