10DTE Future Technology - Laser Cutting and 3D Printing.

Laser Cutting

What is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting is a technology that cuts materials with a laser mostly used with optics. It is normally used for industrial use and is starting to be used by schools, hobbyists etc.

The outcome

The outcome of a laser cut object normally turns out great as long as you use the right material and match it with the correct amount of power level.

What does it look like?

3D Printing

What is 3D Printing?

3D Printing is a process where material is joined or solidified through computer control to created 3-dimensional objects. It is when a material is being added layer by layer to create the final product.

The outcome

The outcome of a 3D printed object isn't really that great. A 3D printer is usually really small and can make it look very pixelated. 3D printing is recommended for prototypes or mock-ups for a creation.

What does it look like?

What I created for the 3D printing project.

For the 3D printing project, we had to create something with a 3D printer that relates to Future Technology. I created a hovering table that hovers to you when you need it. It comes with a magnetic cup holder so your drink wouldn't fall off the table as it hovers to you. It has these projecting crystals that allow you to read the news as it is projecting in 3D above your table. It also comes with a solar panel charger that charges your table just by placing the table on top of the charger. When the table is not needed, the table will hover back to its charger to recharge for its next use! 

[10DTE] Unit 4 - Robotics (Infographic)

A new unit strikes upon us as Robotics takes over the world. Our new unit robotics is a very interesting unit as soon we will be able to use some new robots and see what they can do! I created an infographic all about Robotics and Mechatronics.

[10DTE] Growing NZ Innovation Challenge

Introduction

During DTE this term, we have been working on a project in our own chosen groups which is called the Growing NZ Innovation Challenge. We have been tasked with a problem and finding a way to solve this idea. We only had 5 weeks to do this but it was enough time for all of us.

Groups

These are the groups

Moisty Billboard: Braxton, Cameron and Me.

Team 4: Oskar, Jackson, and Jesse

W.O.R.D: 

Special Needs: 

(I don't know the other groups, these are just some)

Reflection

During this project, I would say that we did a good amount of work with a couple of distractions. I would also say that most of the people in our group did work whilst the other person did not do much work at all. Our problem was to find a way to spot a water leakage and how to fix it. We created a prototype which we created which is a modified fire alarm which senses a water leakage running down a pipe and then makes a really loud and annoying sound when there is a leakage. We then created a presentation with a science cardboard looking theme. We added information about our problem and stuck our prototype onto the board. The information on the board introduced the idea and then had our enablers which were HHP which stands for High Hydrostatic Pressure which sees how big of the leakage is. Our second enabler was N&S which stands for Network and Sensors which would sense if there is a water leakage. We then presented our information to the class, we had 1 person who didn't really co-operate with any speaking roles but overall it was a decent presentation.

I really enjoyed this process and would really recommend trying this project. I would do it again if we could as I know what do learn and to for next time.

Question

My question for you would be, did you know anything about this challenge?
What do you think about our work? And what could you do to improve our idea?

[10DTE] Our Awesome Fortnite App!

Our Awesome Fortnite App!

Introduction

Over the past few weeks, Braxton, Cameron and I have been creating a stunning app which I would proudly introduce. Our Fortnite App! Our fortnite app includes tips and tricks and pickaxe skins from in the game! We still need a bit more time to finish up on it and add more information and a bit more pictures but I think that it has been a good few weeks to work on our app and to see how well it has progressed. It took me a while to code the buttons especially the back buttons.

Reflection

I have learned a lot in a term, I learned how to code buttons that actually work and more! I know this because I have tested this multiple times and it had finally worked after a lot of confusion. It shows this by all the buttons you press in the app.
I think that we all did contribute but there was 1 person who did get off task every now and then, and it did affect our outcomes because we didn't get much artwork on the app. I was happy with my group because I was comfortable to talk about some ideas that I have. 

Our final product wasn't finished because someone got a bit off task during our work and we didn't have enough tips to add on. I would probably remind the person to stay on task and help with the app. I have experienced a lot making the app, some ups and downs but I am still proud of what I have learned in just a term.

The website that we used to develop the app is called Studio Code / App Lab.

What do you think we could add to our app next time?

Do you want to live longer?!?

Do you want to live longer?!?

Having a better ergonomic setup can help you with your posture which makes you live longer!!!

Introduction
During DTE we have been learning about ergonomic setups. Ergonomic setups are when you are on your computer doing work you can have a better posture and live longer! I have created an infographic to make it easier for you to read. And make it interesting of course! This will maximize your ergonomic setup.Ergonomic Infographic

Here is an infographic where I based my facts off.  →Click Here← [By Wyvern, n.d.]

Reflection.
This is the first infographic I have ever created and I am proud to present this infographic.Spread the word about the ergonomic setup and ways to maximize your setup and your life!!! I really enjoyed creating this infographic and learned a lot about the ergonomic setup. I used venngage to create this infographic, I enjoy using this website because there are more templates and icons to use compared to canva.

Question
What did you learn? Is there anything that you want me to work on? Was this helpful to you?
