Peer Reflection:

My evaluation for my peer:

Reflection:

Here is my peer evaluation by my fellow peer Kiyara Weerakoon.I believe that I am very happy with the peer evaluation by my peer.The reason I am happy with this evaluation is that I was able to complete all the points that I was required and also I am very happy with the way she has commented on all my points using positive comments on my performance.In this peer evaluation, my partner Kiyara has evaluated me according to the points in the table that are in the image above which evaluate me on my blog and also the posts included in them and the different criteria that are included in all my posts and my tasks during this unit.I believe that the suggestions my peer has put for me are quite beneficial and useful for future to improve my blog to make it better.Another thing is that I believe that using her suggestion that could really help me to follow the points so that my blog could be  better.I believe something that I would implement from her suggestions would be to make the appearance of my blog fancier as it is quite plain and also another one that I will implement is to make my paragraphs clearer so that it is easier for the reader.

Task 3:

Reflection:
During this unit, there were many tasks involved but our final task was the tinker-cad task where we had to design inventions and create them on tinker-cad so that the inventions would be 3D.Tinker-cad was a website that we used throughout the unit to perform our tasks, what the website mainly allowed us to d was to create our invention on work planes using 3D shapes that we then used to create our inventions so then our inventions  could become 3D too due to the shapes we used.All our tasks that we were assigned were tasks where we would have to create inventions and then we would actually design them on tinker-cad using different techniques and materials.

I believe that in all the tasks I was able to fulfill all the requirements in all of them including my reflections and my creations too, I believe that I was able to complete all my tasks, creations and reflections very well and that all my results were successful.In terms of my design specification and the link to the tinker-cad design, I believe that I was able to successfully replicate it and that I was also able to successfully meet all the point in the design specification.For the shapes that I have used, I believe that I was able to do that in my designs and also explain them in my reflections.For the target audience, I  also mentioned it and explained it in my design specification and also my reflections in all my designs.For the aesthetics, I believe that I have followed them successfully.For the color, I believe that I have also followed that in my designs and I have also mentioned it clearly in my design specification and also in some of my reactions.For sense appeal, I believe that I have  done this and fulfilled this in my design.Also, for environmental considerations, I have mentioned it and explained it in my design specification but, I have also mentioned it in my reflections.For the functions, I have explained it both in my specification and also my reflections about the design.Lastly, for the size I have clearly explained it in both too, my specification and my reflection in some detail.

For this unit we focused on three ATLs for the unit, the three ATLs that we had were Creative Thinking, Communication and Creative Literacy.I believe all three of this ATLs really helped me through all my tasks on tinkercad. The way creative thinking helped me was the way I used it so that I could think of three inventions that I should create on tinkercad and also be able of inventions that could actually solve a problem in our society.For communication, I believe that I have said that when I had to describe my invention through a detailed description and also in my design specification where I had to name all the details of my invention.For creative literacy, I believe I had to use that when I had to take all the 3D shapes and use them creatively so then I could create my invention.In this unit, we also focused on one global context which is the orientation in time and space.The way I believe we have used that was that we had to look around us in our environment to find the problems so that we could think of inventions that could solve the problems.

In my different products, I believe that I was actually able to successfully complete them and the final product was actually quite good due to the skills and the shapes that I have used for my invention.For each invention, I managed to create them with all their details using the different shapes and the skills provided for me.For the first invention, my robot, I believe that I have done well overall, even though, I believe that I could do some more points so that I can make it better.Something I believe I can improve is that maybe next time I could make the details appear more by making all the measurements and maybe I could edit the shapes so that it could be more accurate.For my second invention, my piano helper I believe that I have done fairly well in creating it using the shapes.A way I believe that I could improve is that maybe I should include more details and maybe I should have used more skills to create so that the appearance would look more complex and better and many ways.For my third invention, my child-friendly syringe I believe I could have made it a little better so that it could look better appearance wise.Something I believe I could improve on the way I built it as I could have used some skills like holes and editing measurements so that it could be more detailed.From all those tasks I believe that I have learned much more and have gained much more knowledge than before.One thing that I believe I have learned are different skills in tinkercad, some of the skills would be: holes, grouping, ungrouping, displaying work planes and many others one that I have used.Another thing I have learned is how to use the website and mainly how to see an object from many perspectives and mainly how to use 3D shapes to create an invention on tinkercad.

To conclude I believe that I have fulfilled all my tasks successfully and that I was really able to benefit from many perspectives from all the tasks, in terms of knowledge, skills, techniques, websites, ideas, designing and many others that I have to learn.Lastly, I believe that I have learned a lot from this takes and that I was able to meet all the points that I was required successfully without many struggles.Lastly, I believe that all the tasks have been extremely beneficial and that they have really helped me to gain more knowledge.

Criteria C-Creating the product

My inventions on tinker cad

My robot:

Instructions:

1. First, I placed one box and adjusted it to become the body of the robot
2. Secondly, I placed a work plane on top and placed a box  for the head
3. Third, I placed a work plane on the left and the right side and placed two orange boxes as the arms
4. Fourth, I placed a work plane on the front and placed spheres and half spheres  (which I then flattened) as the buttons to work the robot.
5. Meanwhile, I put 4 boxes and I then flattened them to adjust it to the size of the drawers and placed them on the robot
6. After that, I out two boxes on the bottom of the body (after adjusting them) as the legs of the robot
7. Later, I placed one sphere on each leg as the wheels
8. Finally I placed a small sphere at the back as a button to start the whole robot

Reflection:

In this task I have created my robot on tinker-cad which makes it become a 3D shaped object.I have used tinker-cad to create the product and make it visually better by making it out of 3D shapes.This is my first invention, this invention is the robot I have invented that helps keep people neat.For my tinker-cad project we had to choose one of the three previous designs we drew for each of our inventions, for this project I chose the latest one as I thought that it was the one with the most options and of was also the most advanced one option wise and also technology wise.

In this tinker-cad design I quite several different shapes to form my invention mainly using 3D shapes that I had to flatten to  a flat shape in certain situations.The main shapes I have used were the box, the sphere and the half spheres.For the robot I have used the box for the body, the arms, the legs, the head.For the half spheres I used it for the buttons for the invention.For the spheres I also sued them for the buttons as well as I wanted to vary in sizes other than I have also used it for wheels for the robot.

In this task I believe that I have used several techniques to be able to form the robot,one of the techniques were how to be able to create a work plane to place something over the other object.A second technique I have used was the technique of being able to adjust shapes to the measurements you want and also being shorten  it and changing is height was one major technique I have used as I have used one shape in many parts in different measurements which made it a main technique I have used. The third technique I have used  is the technique of being able to make the 3D shape a 2D shape by using the technique of flattening a shape to make it become flat instead of 3D.

During this task I believe that I was able to successfully create the final design I also think that I was able to figure out many different techniques and also many different new shapes. Even though I created the design successfully I believe I had some struggles through the process so that I would be able to create it.I believe on of the struggles that I had were to be able to learn the technique of creating holes as I needed to know that skill so I had to investigate to learn it. Another struggle was to be able learn how to group and also how to ungroup which was a the technique that I also  had to learn, other than that, I also struggled with being able to align the objects as i found it quite hard.

To conclude I think that I was able to successfully bale to complete the task with very little struggles.I also think that I was able to learn a lot from this task and that it was very beneficial as I was able to learn many new techniques.Lastly I believe that I did well in this design and that I was able to create very well with very little struggles.

My Piano helper:

-

Instructions:

1. First, I placed one box and placed it as the front piece
2. Secondly, I placed another box behind it as the piece that has the pert of the function
3. Third, I placed a small box behind the second one as the clip that attaches it to the piano
4. Meanwhile, I added some circles on the front as the buttons that control the invention
5. Lastly, I added circles on the side to be the parts that hear the music and the part that shows you the music through a small speaker

Reflection:

In this task I have created my piano helper  on tinker-cad which makes it become a 3D shaped object.I have used tinker-cad to create the product and make it visually better by making it out of 3D shapes.This is my second invention, this invention is the piano helper I have invented that people to play the piano.For my tinker-cad project we had to choose one of the three previous designs we drew for each of our inventions, for this project I chose the latest one as I thought that it was the one with the most options and it was also the most advanced one appearance wise and also technology wise.

In this tinker-cad design I quite several different shapes to form my invention mainly using 3D shapes that I had to flatten them to a flat shape in certain situations.The main shapes I have used were the box and  the holed circles.For the piano helper I have used the box for the three main parts, the front box with the controlling buttons, the middle part with the speaker and the option for the function of the invention and the last part which is the clip that enables the invention to be attached to the piano to perform its function properly.

To form this design I have used many different techniques to be able to create it on this website.Some of the techniques that I have used are aligning shapes, placing work planes, adjusting shape measurements and many different ones too.For the first technique which I aligning shapes, I used that so that I could form the body of the object on the work plane.For the second technique which is placing work planes, I have used that so that I would be able to place shapes over and next to each other correctly.For my third technique which is adjusting shapes, I have used that to be able to adjust my measurements so that they could fit the parts of my objects.

During the process of creating these objects I didn't really have many struggles but, I only encountered a very minimal amount of them.One struggle that I have encountered were to be able to align the shapes correctly from every side which I believe was quite hard for me to do, to overcome this I asked one of my fellow peers to help me do it.Another struggle I encountered was being able to adjust some of the measurements as I couldn't accurately do it in some cases.A way that I overcame this was by asking the teacher to help through that step so that I would be able to overcame it.The last struggle that I encountered was  being able to lear how to place work planes, to overcome this I also investigated on the website so that I may learn this skill.

To conclude I believe that I have done fairly well in this task and that it was extremely beneficial to do.Other than that I believe that next time I will be able to learn much more techniques.`another thing is that I believe that my knowledge has now increased and that I have much more information about this that makes me capable of doing it again with less struggles than this time.Lastly I have really enjoyed this task and I have benefitted a lot from it and I believe I have done fairly well in the finalized product.

My Syringe:

My instructions:

1. First I placed a cone on the work plane for the main part that has needle which injects the medicine 
2. Second I placed a sphere on the cone to create the head
3. Thirdly I placed two half spheres on the top right and left side of the sphere as the ears
4. Next, I placed two small spheres on the sphere as the eyes 
5. After that I placed a square so that it could be the part that exits the decorations
6. Lastly I placed the sphere as a button that allows the head to spin and for sound effects too

Reflection:

In this task I have created my syringe on tinker-cad which makes it become a 3D shaped object.I have used tinker-cad to create the product and make it visually better by making it out of 3D shapes.This is my third, this invention is the syringe I have invented that helps people to stay calm and be less frightened by the needle through distractions.For my tinker-cad project we had to choose one of the three previous designs we drew for each of our inventions, for this project I chose the latest one as I thought that it was the one with the most options and of was also the most advanced one option wise and also  use wise and appearance wise.

For this project I have used many different shapes and objects to create it.All the shapes were actually 3D but for certain parts of the syringe I needed to flatten the 3D shapes so that they are 2D to fit on the syringe.The main shapes I have used to create this is the half spheres, spheres, cone, box and the holed circles. For the half spheres I used them to be the ears of the mouse that is the head of the syringe.For the full spheres I have used them for the eyes on the head of the syringe which are actually the buttons that control the sound effects, the decorations and spinning the head of the syringe.For the cone I used it to be the main body of the syringe.For the box I used it as a part that exits the sound effects that is controlled by the buttons on the head.For the final shape which is the holed circles, I have used it to exit the decorations from the syringe itself which is also controlled by the second button on the head of the syringe.

For this task, to be able to form this design I had to use many different techniques to be able to create this design on that website.Some of the techniques I have used are placing work planes, making holes, curving the cone and adjusting measurements. The first technique which is placing work planes, I used that so then I would be able to align different shapes together accurately in a proper way.For my second technique which is making holes I used it so that I would be able to easily place the eyes into the sphere in a correct measurement.For my third technique which is curving the cone, I used it so that I would be able to build the body of the syringe itself.For my fourth technique which is adjusting measurements, I used that so I would be able to place the shapes over each other and next to each other correctly so that I would be able to build the actual object accurately.

To conclude I believe that I have done well in this product and that I was able to successfully do this task and it ended well.Other than that I believe that I have benefited a lot from this and that I have learnt many techniques that I didn't before that I think will now help me in further IT education and that it will really enhance my capabilities in IT and that I will be able to do much more things due to those techniques. Another thing is that I believe that after this task my knowledge of tinker  cad has increased a lot after this and that I am now able to do much more things. Lastly  I believe I have done well and that I have really benefited from this task.

The Handy Key-chain

Description:

This is my final invention, I decided to call this the handy key-chain due to how it's function works and I used it to match the name.This invention which is the handy key-chain addresses a certain p[problem that has been all over our community's society and the citizens in them especially.This invention mostly targets people from the age of ten and above and mainly for girls  as the function may not be extremely beneficial for them.This invention is a key-chain, this key-chain addresses the main problem that I believe many people struggle from (mainly girls), this problem is how many people never bother to carry bags when they go out and sometimes due to ton this and how many things they carry sometimes this causes for them to use their things.The way this key-chain solves this problem is that using the drawers on the keychain it may fit one of your items in each drawer, this then makes sure that the things are secure inside the keychain.What you do is that you first use the letters that you create a password with to allow you to open the drawers on the keychain after you insert the password, you then press o the button to open the drawers so that you are able to insert your items.If you want you may have the option to clip it to something or even put it into your pocket where it may be secure inside.This keychain is a small size which gives it the advantage that it may fit in your pocket without a problem, also, even though I believe that it may be mainly addressed for girls there will be designs for girls and boys to be able to purchase them.The way I believe tat this will solve the problem is that this will then solve the problem as people may be encouraged to us not due to how small it is and that it is portable which takes it easier to use.To conclude I believe that this is a very good invention and that many people can use it which results in that it may solve the prol=blem that is all over our society.

Instructions:

1. First I put a box on the work plane to form the main part of the keychain that has the name on it
2. Secondly, I put a cylinder hole on the right side of the box after adjusting it to the correct size and I then grouped the hole and the box together
3. Next, I inserted a work plane on top of the hole and out two holed circles one as the button and the other one as the clip that attaches it to an object
4. After that, I inserted another work plane on the box and inserted all the letters that spelled my name so that I may personalize it and so that I may find it in case I lose it
5. Meanwhile, I got eight boxes and I adjusted them so that they could become the drawers where the main function happens

Reflection:

In this task, I have created my key-chain on tinker-cad which makes it become a 3D shaped object.I have used tinker-cad to create the product and make it visually better by making it out of 3D shapes.This is my fourth and final invention, this invention is the key-chain I have invented that helps people to stay calm and be less frightened by the needle through distractions.For our tinker-cad project after we created all our three planned inventions we had to do a final one that used more complicated techniques to use all our knowledge that we learned to create one final invention using our knowledge that we learned from this unit.The reason I have chosen this is that I believe it can really address the problem I have chosen.

For this creation, I believe what was unique about it was that I used many different shapes, techniques and I also learned more skills that I haven't used on the creations that I also attempted in the earlier creations that I have done.Another thing that was unique was that in this one I decided to use letters instead of regular shapes as it was something that I a=wanted to investigate more but I couldn't investigate it previously as I didn't have a chance to use it in any of my previous designs and creations.

For me to be able to think if the design it didn't honestly take me a long time to get the idea, the way I was able to think of the idea was I first thought of a problem that I experienced and directly this came to me as I find it to be a common problem with not just me but also my friends.Another way I thought of this idea is I thought of some of the skills that I learn in the lesson and how I cold utalise all of them to create one created from all of them where in the beginning I couldn't fidn an idea but when I reviewed on my lesson ad what I created them I got the idea to create a key-chain but as I wanted it to have a new function I thought of the common problem.

Also when I first strated to think of the creation I struggled a little  bit as I was not really able to think of any renovated ideas so I was going to think of juyst making an existiing product on tinkercad but when I then ereviewed my lessons and I saw what I created in them I directly thought of the keychain, also due to the way I though of common problems that I meet the idea of this ;product came to me as I though that it could actually be a solution for the problem realistically speaking.

Honestly, I believe that this product is quite beneficial for many people but maybe it would be targeted to people more than the age of ten as the function would be more effective on them than on the younger ages.Also, I believe that girl may prefer it more than boys but, boys may be interested in it but  not necessarily a majority of the boys.Generally, I believe that this product can really help the society and fix this common problem for many people and citizens in our community.A way I believe that it may be beneficial is that due to the main function of the product it may help may people as many people like me and my friends never bother to carry a bag and just put things in out pockets and when that happens sometimes we lose the things due to the fact that they are not secure just thrown in out pockets which I believe make my product beneficial due to the fact that that it may fit and be put in the pocket it will be inside a secure object that will keep them safe.

To cocnlude I believe I have done very well for thinking of the idea and also being able to successfully build my invention on tinker-cad without many struggles, other than that I believe I have done well in making the function actually beneficial for the society.Lastly, I relieve that this task has really omcrrsased  knowledge of tinker-cad and techniques on tinker-cad but also the knowledge of different shapes and holes and also grouping and ungrouping which I believe will be extra,raely beneficial for me in my future education in IT.
