Peer Evaluation- Tech Fair

Dannah- Virtual Reality Viewer    

The project was a virtual reality viewer which could make you feel like you are actually in the place/ scene. I enjoyed the overall experience and idea of the viewer. To be honest I think that Dannah did really good but she could have painted it and improved on the overall appearance of the viewer to make it a little more appealing or she could have talked about the science behind the viewer and how it works. I really think that her project should be part of the tech fair so other people would experience the feeling.

Marta and Danae- Stop Motion Animation

The project they created was a stop motion called Pixels To Life. I liked their idea of making models of well- known and loved characters from the game Mario, such as Mario and Luigi, from clay, to make it more interesting. They could have added more things to the video to make it longer and better because the video was only a little over a minute long. Unfortunately, I think their project should not be part of the tech fair if the video does not get improved.


Levi and Jaeu- Bamboo Speaker

The project the two created was a speaker made out of bamboo. What they did was they took a bamboo stick, cut slits to make the phone fit through and cut a slit in the bottom to let the phone charge while it was still physically in the speaker.I liked how the speaker enhanced the sound, making it louder as the demonstration showed. I think they could improve by maybe adding a few designs or colours to make the speaker more appealing. I think their project should be part of the each fair because the bamboo speaker is a very easy and cheep thing to make and enjoy.

George, Selahattin and Salah- Digital Camera

The group made a digital camera using only parts such as a Raspberry Pi. I liked how they demonstrated it and made it look presentable and interesting. I think they could improve on explaining it and their process by perhaps creating a detailed PowerPoint presentation. I think that their project should be part of the tech fair.

Selin- Childhood Video

Selin did a video about her childhood and the places she has visited when she was younger. I liked the idea of creating the video and the pictures she included. I think she could improve mainly on the video's production and maybe add a little more information about the places she visited. I honestly think that her project shouldn't be in the tech fair.


Lakshita- Robotic snake

Lakshita made a robotic snake that could move, turn, and attack. All the actions could be controlled using an iPad. I liked how she showed the snake by doing a demonstration. I think she could improve by trying to add a little more information and detail to her PowerPoint. I think that her project should be part of the tech fair so other people could see the amazing robot creation.

Adam, Saad, Ryan- Lego car

The group made a presentation about a Lego car that could be controlled and moved by a certain software. I liked the idea of the car and the idea of it being able to move. I think they could improve by maybe building the project and showing us how it can move. I don't think their project should be part of the tech fair because they did not build the project, they made a simple and un-detailed PowerPoint about it.

Alicia, Amira- Candle Powered Fan

Alicia and Amira made a candle powered fan that could work by having a sensor sense the flame made by the candle and the sensor sends signals to the motor so the motor could work and make the fan work. I liked the idea of the fan being recyclable and active. I think they could improve by adding more detail to the PowerPoint. I think that their project is worthy of being part of the tech fair.

Katie, Anna, Ziad- Solar Pannel

The group made a solar panel that could be built using a kit. The solar panel could change into different shapes to make things that would be cute or cool. I liked how they put together the website and I also like the idea of different shapes in general. I think they could improve by somehow being able to demonstrate the project and its function. I think that their project should be part of the tech fair.

Criteria C- Creating the solution


Reflection:


So far, I have made part of the video, but I have a few more parts to finish. The biggest challenge I have faced was time. It takes a really long time to take a picture of each shot a couple of times and also cut out the things needed to complete the video. I have enjoyed a few things about the project but I think I would be satisfied with my final product more than the actual process. I there was a next time, I would try to manage my time more wisely and spend more time on it to make it better overall.
