Math - Awesome cool 3D prototype of our product.

Pineapple fava beans 

What's pooping guys, it's Nia here with another blog. In this blog post, I am going to be showering you the slideshow that my group and I collaborated on together. Plus I will be telling you what we did and how we achieve it. 

For the past few weeks, we have been learning about finance and business in maths class. This is preparing us for our b&e which means business and enterprise.  

Our teacher gave us a piece of paper with all these different challenges on it. My group and I had to pick one challenge to research about. We had to produce a prototype and present it in front of the class. 

In my pretention, it tells you what we had to do, what our challenge and our prototype. 

Here is our slideshow with our awesome 3D prototype.

My group and I worked really hard on this.

For our presentation, my group an I used google slideshow to present what we were doing. Google slideshow is a great way to present, display and show your learning. But if you wanted to be more creative there are many more apps/website you could use. 

For our prototype, we used a website called Tinkercad, this website lets you produce and make your own 3D models. We used this app because we believed that this was the best way that we could show others our prototype. It's easy to use and you can make all different designs and models on it. 
(I was the one that made the pineapple)

The experience/reflection  

Overall I think this experience was fun and interesting. It was hard to come up with ideas for our prototype but eventually, we all agreed on what we were going to produce. After a bit of fighting and arguing we come up with one solid idea. I think our outcome was great although there was a lot of pissing around. 

Our presentation went well however, I didn't like talking in front of the class as I am not that confident. But my group made it less stressful to talk in front of the class because they all were supporting me and we were supporting each other. I find it quite hard when I have to talk in front of the class or anyone in general. I'm glad that when we were presenting, my class didn't laugh or talk while my group and I was presenting. That showed me that we were respected and being listened to. 

What did I gain from this experience?

From this experience, I gained knowledge about fava beans, how to use Tinkercad to make our prototype and I also learnt how to be a little bit more confident. It was fun and my group and worked really well together. 

Please leave a comment down below on how you think my group's presentation and prototype was. Also, anything that I could improve on or make better. 

Thanks for reading, enjoy your day

Did I enjoy making this?

If I'm being honest, I didn't enjoy making this. I think that I do better present it in front of the class. 

I think this experience was fun but annoying because of my group and I would always be laughing when recording. Also, it took 2 whole lessons to make. 

Overall I prefer presenting in front of the class.

Reflection from Friday

On Friday Taiaun and I made cheese scones. Overall I think everything went well. We worked together good, we shared the roles with each other, we both did the dishes and we communicated with each other to make sure that everything went well. But I think we could have improved by being more patient because we were in a rush to go to lunch. We were so impatient that our scones come out undercooked and doughy. If we had left them in for just a few more minutes they would have been cooked and more enjoyable. Form this lesson I learnt how to rub the butter in with the flour, salt and baking powder I also learnt that I need to be more patients when baking.

Designing a safety sign 

In tec, we had to make a safety sign that is not already in the workshop. We had to provide a creative but effective sign to aware people what/not to do. 

My sign means. don't enter the workshop unless you are allowed. I did this sign because I didn't see it around in the workshop and I think it's important to know not to go in the workshop unsupervised. This sign is not only to spread caution but for your own health and safety.
