Cyber Crime and Safety powerpoint

https://prezi.com/p/hxmaagus6rdm/

Here is the URL to my prezi

Here are some screenshots of it:








Reflection:
Through this powerpoint me and my partner talked about the different factors and implications of Cyber crime but also Cyber safety.We covered brief points that could generalize the topic and could be easy for people to understand the meaning if it.The main points that we talked about in the powerpoint was points against and for cyber safety, prevention tips, impacts of cybercrime and the general definition of cyber crime and cyber safety.For this powerpoint we decided to use prezi as we found that it was an interesting software that could make our powerpoint eye-catching and also interesting to see.Also in this powerpoint we included a variety of lots of information on cyber safety but also cyber crime that we out into small sentences so that the audience that we are presenting to doesn't get bored or finds  it hard to understand so we decided to make them small points so that it is easy to understand.To conclude I believe that we did well in this powerpoint and that we were clearly able to send the message though the powerpoint however I think that I could have improved in making the powerpoint a little more interesting than this time to make it more enjoyable for the audience that we are presenting to.

Reflections:

Unit 1:

Here is my unit 1 and 2.Through unit 1 and 2 I was able to learn a lot of coding and techniques but also skills for coding.In unit 1 I briefly learned the basics of coding and I also learned the definition, why it is used and many other basic details f it.One of the exercises that I did in unit 1 was that I would use the syntax of DOCTYPE HTML and then I would type in any sentence I wanted then and it would simply translate it to me in how it would some up on the computer.In the first unit, I was able to learn a lot about this syntax but not only that I as also able to learn lots of brief facts and definitions but also explanations of coding and how it is used on the computer but also generally on any device on the web.I was also able to generally learn about how to code but also what a syntax thing and a lot of different briefs and beginner information but not too detailed as it was only an introduction to coding.For this assignment, I used Code academy which is a website used to learn to code and on this website was where I did unit 1 and unit 2.

Unit 2:

For unit 2 I went more in depth into coding and I learn more details about coding but also more details about more complex syntax.In unit 2 I focused more on inserting more complicated sentences that could use programming and coding into a sentence for the computer.During unit 2 we also did some of it with the rest of the class.During the class, we tried the different syntaxes found in unit 2.One of the syntaxes then where we would ask the computer to guess a number between two numbers and then we would use the syntax of MATH RANDOM.This syntax was used fro when we wanted the computer to guess a number between two numbers.We would out the numbers to pick between and then we would use the syntax MATH RANDOM for it to pick a number.For the other syntax it was called MY VARIABLE, for this syntax, we use it differently, however, it is in the same field as it is also used for numbers and maths in general.This syntax is actually used for performing calculations on the computer with different operations which we then put into the system and than the syntax is used to allow the computer to translate the calculation and get the answer.

Criteria A, B, C and D brochure project

Introduction:
This term we are starting anew project fro the next two weeks.The project will be a brochure which will be promoting a country or certain area of our choice.To create this brochure I will be using he software Microsoft publisher.Some of the countries i'm impressed with are Italy, France and Cyprus.For this project I will be researching several features for my brochure so that I can create the brochure with the required and relevant information and research fro the target audiences so that they could have enough information on the country.In this project I will be using different facts and images as a travel agent to create a brochure on my chosen country.

Design Situation:
I am A travel agent called Monica, and I will be creating one brochure promoting one country that I would like my clients to visit, I will be spending three weeks creating this brochure so I have decided to only promote one country of my choice for my clients.I will be creating a brochure on one country out of 3 that I believe would be perfect for my clients to travel to for an enjoyable and unforgettable stay.All three countries are unique and interesting places to visit, I believe that all three countries would be equally exciting and breathtaking however, I believe that one would be just amazing for them to visit.The three exotic countries I have chosen are Italy, France and Cyprus.For the locations France and Italy are in Europe while, Cyprus is located on an island on the eastern side the Mediterranean sea.For France it is known for multiple things within the country.The most touristic city in France his Paris which is its capital, the reason its very touristic is the places that it has. Here are some of the touristic places that it France is known for: the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Latin Quarter, Montmartre, and the Georges Pompidou Center make Paris one of the most visited places in the world however, it is still mainly known for its exquisite food like frogs, snails and cheeses.For Italy it is known for many things like the touristic places there like Florence, Venice and Rome are home to many museums, but art can be viewed in churches and public buildings. Most notable is the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican other places are also the Leaning tower of Pisa etc.It is also Famous for its delicious food like different kids of cheese pasta and also pizza etc.For Cyprus it is also known for many touristic places, Cyprus is mainly known for its great waters like Lara bay, Konnos bay and Porto Pomes some of the touristic places are Troodos mountains, Kato Paphos archaeological park and Tombs of the king.Cyprus is also known for its food like Halloumi, Cyprus-Style Souvlaki and Sheftalia. To conclude I will be choosing to promote Cyprus as I believe that I want my clients to lists a place where the could enjoy the waters, relax but also, take their family and go sight seeing in the different archaeological and historical sightings to make it as interesting as possible for my clients ti have an irreplaceable, unforgettable time.

Global Context:

For creative expression there are several purposes for it however, here is one purpose I mainly use and understand well.One of the purposes is to have creativity when expressing through writing as in certain situations you need to be creative your writing hewn expressing something to have a certain effect on the sudden reading it.Sometimes you may want them to feel a certain way from the text you have written so you would use create expression in your text so that you would be able to portray or project a certain expression in your text towards the reader to show a certain expression towards them through creativity in your speech or text.

There are many ways we express and discover ideas for culture or even about nature.For culture most of the time we describe the different factors of culture or we try living the listyle of a certain culture fro us to be able to discover it and investigate into it to be able to expresser ideas at the end from our experience.For nature we would also go and and see it maybe also seeing it some time investigate and share your ideas of it through images maybe or small descriptive sentences.

To enjoy the creativity of appreciating the aesthetic side of things there are many different ways for it to be done as many people understand it in many different ways.One way would be analyzing the aesthetic side of many things ike nature ad then using creativity to expressing it allowing people to appreciating the aesthetic side through creativity.Another way would be using images and then describing them using creative and descriptive wordings allowing people to really appreciate how you appreciate the aesthetics creatively.

ATL Skills:

Creative thinking:
I believe that I will actually be using creative thinking throughout this unit frequently as we will be creating a brochure which will require lots of creativeness to make it interesting.I think that I will be using creative thinking to make my brochure as attractive as possible towards the audience and to make them want to read the brochure and to encourage to go to the country I will be promoting for them to go to.I believe I will also use creativity in the appearance and content of the brochure to make it as informative yet interesting for the sudeince.

Communication:
I believe I will also be involving communication throughout this project as in the content of the brochure will be me communicating to my audience about the country I will be promoting to them.I will be communicating my text in different ways to portray it to the audience in different ways for example, I will be sung certain key words to attract the audience towards the brochure and towards the content of the brochure to attract them to wards my promoted country.

Information literacy: 

Throughout this project I will also be using this skill.The way I will be suing this is that I will be researching different factors of my chosen country so that I could out it into my own words and communicate into toy brochure.I will also be sing this as I may use some of my information that I know  little but into the content but also that the chosen country depends on my opinion and information on the country but also, I will be putting my opinion according to my information into the brochure to make it persuasive towards the audience.

Design Brief:
Layout: For the layout I have researched on publisher for different templates and options and I have decided I will be using one of the available templates on publisher as my brochure template.For the research on publisher I found several types of templates but I then decided to use a template from the brochure template, I will be taking the template of my choice but I will then take an image which represents the country and making it the background of the brochure so that the background could be relevant to the country which will be the topic.

Placement of pictures and text:For the placement of images and text I will be using boxes for the images and for the images them selves I will be using relevant images to the country and the text I have used, to organize the images I will be bordering them so that the section would grab their attentions and also, I will be using vivid colors so then it may attract them.For the text I will be researching different facts and general information of the country relevant to it and I will be writing in black so that it could be bold to the audience but I may also use other colors in certain information so that it could be eye catching.I will be organizing the information in columns and small paragraphs or bullet points so that it would be out in small sections for the audience to read.

Keywords:For the keywords I will mainly be using them for description.I will be using captivating keywords in captions or description of images as if I use captivating adjectives to describe images using interesting and captivating adjectives to describe the country or show images the audience may find  more attractive and it may grab their attention towards the country promoted in the brochure due to the interesting description due to the use of attractive and captivating keywords.

Captions;For captions I will be adding one to each image.In the caption I will be describing the image that it is put with, I will be using certain descriptive words and captivating adjectives in the description in the caption to make it more attractive and interesting towards the reader.I will also be making the captions short but descriptive as if it is going to be long and not very descriptive.

Background: For the background I will be making it blue as it is mainly relevant to my country as my country is focused on the water and seas in the country making the color relevant to the country making the brochure even more attractive.

Color and amount if text: For the color of the text I will be making it a nice degree of blue but not too bright as even though I want to make the colors relevant to the water and the seas I still want to make it eligible to the reader.For the amount of text I will be putting around 300 to 350 words as I would like to make my brochure more visible rather than full of text.

Shape of brochure:I will be making the brochure a normal shape which is a rectangle.However I will be trimming the paper to make it fold into a rectangle however when you open it each side is actually a wave forming into a rectangle making the shape of the brochure eye catching but also attractive.

Research:

Facts about the country:  

Population: 1.165 million 
Area:Southern part of the island `cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean 
Flag:
Size:9,251 km²
Map:
Currency: Euros 

Capital:Nicosia

When to visit: 

The tourist season in Cyprus lasts from April to October.During would be the best time for touristic to enjoy the beautiful waters of Cyprus but also the glorious and breathtaking sight seeing but more importantly the amazing food and restaurants available for them t eat and admire the food.

Transportation: 

For transportation I thunk the most suitable thing will would be walking as the weather would be suitable for that period of time for walking around and sightseeing but another available transportation would be buses or taxis as you would be able to access them in any where and they will also be able to transport you accrues the country.

Touristic areas:
Some of the touristic places are Troodos mountains, these mountains are one of the archaeological historical placed that were found when cyprus was first found making it one of the most touristic okapis in Cyprus , Kato Paphos, this is another majorly interesting place as it was also found some years after cyprus was first found also making it one of the main touristic place , archaeological park, this includes many archaeological objects that were found before during the sane age or even the bronze age  and Tombs of the king, this includes the coffins or tombs where the previous kings were buried in also making it an extremely touristic place as it is also quite breathtaking.

History:

 Cyprus was settled by humans in the Paleolithic period

In the 6th millennium BC, the aceramic Khirokitia culture was characterised by roundhouses, stone vessels and an economy based on sheep, goats and pigs.

Water wells discovered by archaeologists in western Cyprus are believed to be among the oldest in the world, dated at 9,000 to 10,500 years old, putting them in the Stone Age

In the Bronze Age the first cities, such as Enkomi, were built. Systematic copper mining began, and this resource was widely traded

Pictures:









Currency:

The Cypriot Pound

The Cyproit pound was used during 1955 until the year 2008 where t was replaced by the euro in the year of 2008.It was originated by Cyprus and it was its original currency until it was replaced, but before that it was the only currency used 

Introduction of the Euro

The Cypriot pound was replaced by the euro as official currency of the Republic of Cyprus on 1 January 2008 at the irrevocable fixed exchange rate of 0.585274

Seas in Cyprus:
Cyprus is quite know for its relaxing and soothing waters whirl wide, some people even come just to they the water and swimming in it, there are many waters but here are some of the main waters in Cyprus Lara bay, Konnos bay and Porto Pomes.

Food:
Here are some types of food traditionally found in Cyprus
Halloumi (Hellim), Koupepia (Stuffed Vine Leaves), Cyprus-Style Souvlaki, Sheftalia, Oven, Macaroni (Makaronia Tou Fournou, Pastitsio, Firinda Makarna), Cypriot Loukoumades (Lokmades), Bamies (Okra In Tomato Sauce), Fakes (Cypriot Lentils with rice)

Criteria B:
Here is a brief draft design of my brochure that I will be creating next lesson.In this draft I have labelled what I will be outing in each place and placing all my features and pieces of information that I will also be putting it in my coming final brochure and that I will also be using this draft to try to follow the design in the draft for the final brochure to know what thing to place in each part of the brochure.However, while I create the final brochure I may do it the design a little bit as I may change my opinion in terms of something in the design as it may be different when I physically create it on the computer.One of the most outstanding features I think that are in my draft would be the physical design of the brochure and the general shape of it as it is  a normal brochure but one of the sides is cut as a wave making the brochure as a wave.I believe that will attract the target audience it is not something usual that is normal and it is also relevant to the country encouraging them to open it as the shape is unusual to them.I believe it was not very hard to fit all the information in the design as it was on paper and not digitally which made it easier as I was the one making the size so I was able to easily fit all the information needed.
Here is my plan:



Criteria C:
In the past lessons I have created my brochure.I believe that my digital brochure is actually quite similar to my design.The reason I believe so is that in my design I was able to organize it equally and for all my requirements of the brochure.When I was creating it digitally I thunk it was a little different than when it was on paper as the sizes changed form what I did one paper when I designed the places and the shapes and the rest if the features in paper by drawing however, when it came to the computer it was harder to have the same design as the size and the font took much more space than what I expected.The way I overcame the problem digitally was that I attempted shaping it and creating the text boxes a little smaller and I made the font different but still make it clear to the eye when it comes to the brochure, I also made the color brighter to make the writing clear even though it is in a small size.For the front page I used publisher as I found somethings that had more variety on publisher rather than any other software, while creating the front page I used a feature that I recently learnt which was the pen so I could actually crop a part of the document itself to make it the shape I wanted which was something that I wasn't introduced to before.For the rest of the brochure I used word document for the typing and images as I found it a little easier to deal with the text on word and I was also able to use different text boxes according to what I wanted as on publisher when I tried ti use different bullet points and text boxes it wasn't easily accessed like Microsoft word.For the editing of the brochure like the background and borders I used publisher and I also learnt that there is a big variety of borders that I could use rather than using borders form Microsoft word.For he logo I used an online software where I could create my logo but also think if a a name and trying it on a logo. To think of the brochure I first decided on the shape and made it relevant to the country.Then for the images I researched my information and looked for images that would link to them.Next for the country itself I just though of my dream travel and I just asked miss the information I would need to out into it. For the logo I first thought of an attractive name and then used a an online software to create it.






Criteria D:
For this task I created a survey for my friends to comment on my brochure and its features, here is the link for my survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SSHLD85.For the survey I used the software surveymonkey.
I think my friends comments were very good as one example said that it was very good but for some thing they said that they were not perfect and could have been improved which I agree with.I thunk that I agree with their response as after reflecting I agree with most for their points, here are images of one example of a person who responded.





Final reflection:

In this project I have created a brochure about a travel agency organizing planning a travel to a country of my choice that I would like my clients to visit. The country that I chose was Cyprus. I believe that this project was very interesting as I learnt many new skills through the creation of the brochure. A second reason why I think it was interesting is that it was a new experience as I have never done a project like this before where I created a brochure using publisher as a travel agent but also I learnt how to make a logo using a name using an online software which I was able to learn how to use for the first time.I also believe that thus experience was enjoyable as I was able to research about a country that I was passionate about which made it fun writing about it.I think what I would be most proud about would be the shape of the brochure as it was a creative and innovative idea that I was able to make in my brochure and made it much more attractive.Another thing I would also be proud of would being able to create a logo using an online software which I was then able to put onto my brochure as I was representing a travel agency. After I created the brochure I asked my friends to give me comments on the appearance of the brochure generally but also the features, the images, the information available in it so tat I could have feedback from them.To be able to do this I created a survey using surveymonkey and I wrote some questions to receive feedback from them on how useful it is how attractive it is and many other questions.After creating the survey I shred it through email to my friends and asked them to complete it and then I would see there responses when they would be done.

If I were to for this project again I think I would try to improve it a little bit. Something that I would really want to change would be maybe trying to put a little more effort in my planning to end up with an even more successful brochure and result however, I still think that I did well in this brochure but I think next time I can try putting more effort into the planning of the research, the background and the borders just to make it more organized next time.I believe that I was able to manage my time well however, I had to miss one of the lessons which made me fall back and be behind the rest of my class. However, due to my time management I was able to finish it on time and hand in all my assignments and tasks throughout my project with great quality but also on time.For each lesson I committed myself to finish a certain thing and reaching a certain objective so that I would be able to finish on time.

Introduction to Spreadsheets

Introduction to spreadsheet

What is a spreadsheet? 

A spreadsheet is an electronic grid that is used to arrange date and sometimes also numerical information, spreadsheets include many rows and columns where you inserts your needed data.What spreadsheets do is that it helps you to make that easier for yourself to record data and in certain situations calculate certain problems or sometimes even data.Most of the people use it for business, financial reasons and also sometimes for surveys or other needs in their daily lives.Spreadsheets have many types of uses people can use it also fro certain projects that students can use it in to be able to record information, calculate problems and many other things.Lastly many different jobs use spreadsheets as their daily life which makes it a common thing that adults use.

What are the various types of spreadsheets? 

There are various types of spreadsheets that people use. Some of the types that are available are like Microsoft excel, Google sheets, Open office calc, VisiCalc, Lotus 1-2-3, Numbers, Quattro pro, Gnumeric, Multiplan, Luibre office, Super Calc, Calligra sheets, Lotus Improv, Infromix Wingz, GNU Oleo, Sheetsster, RExcel, Boeing Calc and finally 3D Calc.All these types of spreadsheets include most of the main features that are commonly used in almost all types of spreadsheets as they all have the same function however some different spreadsheets may include extra features that are not included in every spreadsheet  


Who would use spreadsheets?

There actually many different people that may use spreadsheets however it is mainly used by adults rather than kids as kids or teenagers may not necessarily need it in school as much as adults in their jobs.Some of the people that use spreadsheets would be accountants, the reason they would use them is that they will always need to calculate money that is coming in and even profits for the staff in the business but also as a service for someone else.Another person that can use them are teachers, the way they can use them is that they may need it to keep record of students, their marks and also their homework.Other people that can also use them are engineers as the need to calculate many numerical data as their jobs include a lot  of mathematics as they need to design different projects according to measurements and many other features. Next are sales people as most of their tasks and jobs are based on finance which causes them to deal eight many numerical data in terms o felling and buying too.Other people that also use spreadsheets are scientists ad they perform lots of experiments and always need to record different results to use for research and for studies that they necessarily need as a main peer of their job.

How is it beneficial to students, adults and businesses?
There are many different ways that spreadsheets are beneficial to students and adults however, it is more useful and generally beneficial to adults that work.The reason for so is that it ism required for adults in jobs a little bit more than students in a school as they are still in school and being in a school does not really require much use of spreadsheets as we (as students) do not meet as much situations where we need to use spreadsheets as much as adults use it in their daily lives but students still need it in school for certain subjects that we study.The first reason it is beneficial to adults is that in a job like engineering it requires lots of measuring and calculating  data and measurements for them to be able to create building projects and create a design for the project they are creating.A way it can also be useful to an adult is that if the adult works in finance or even any kind of business they usually deal with many calculation and especially in finance they deal with a lot of money calculations as calculating money is one of the most main things you have to do in finance especially if you work in a bank.So for adults it is beneficial for them as it helps them in their daily lives in their jobs however in certain fields more than the others.For students one of the reasons it is beneficial for them os that there are certain subjects that they study where they would need it.One of these subjects are science, the way it is beneficial is that when the student performs and experiment they then have to record data and calculate results so spreadsheets will help them so then they can calculate and record data easily.The second subject that makes spreadsheets helpful for them is maths as sometimes in certain topics in maths like probability where they actually perform experiments and record numerical results so using spreadsheets may help them record data and also calculate results from their experiment.

What is the Global Context?
I believe that the global text for this topic would be scientific and technological developments.The reason I believe so is that as we are studying excel spreadsheet the software itself was a technological development created for our society to use today.Another reason is that using the creation of spreadsheets many developments are mad to our digital society due to spreadsheets and one of it are scientific developments too.

ATL skills you would require for this topic?
The first ATL skill I will choose for this topic is Communication.The reason I believe so is that as we study spreadsheets we will be suing it to record data and to perform different calculation and also we will have to communicate data and ewsults through it which gives us the need to use communication.The second ATL skill I will include is research skills.The reason I chose this is that we will be needing lots of research as we will need to learn more about spreadsheets through this topic.My final ATL skill is Collaboration.The reason I chose this is that I believe the in certain situations of any of us need help we will need to collaborate to be able to learn.













Research on 10 features of spreadsheets and take screen shots of what you learnt?

Here are 10 features that I learn about spreadsheets 

Numbers-These  numbers are out on a spread to be able to represent the rows so then when you use spreadsheets you may be able to easily identify them 
Alphabet-These letters from the alphabet are put to represent the columns so when you use it you can easily identify the columns
Formula Bar-This is where it shows you what you have out into your selected cell, you can also use it to type what you want in the selected cell
Cell address-This tells you which cell you are selecting at the time and the address of the cell that you are selecting.
Cell-A cell is one of the squares in the spreadsheet grid where you can insert anything you would like
Quick toolbar-The quick toolbar is where you have a quick access to certain options like undo and redo and some several other options
Drag and fill handle-This is on the cell and is used to increase the amount of cells selected or to fill in a cell
Worksheet tabs-This is a small line that is on the bottom however not the lowest line and it tells you which sheet you are on 
Status bar-This is the lowest bar on the page, this holds different options like zooming and many other control for the spreadsheet.

File name-This allows you to be able to identify which excel sheet this is and it is set in the title bar on the top of the page

Here are additional five things that I have also learnt:

Conditional formating:
Sort and Filter:

Header:


View-Showing format box:


AutoSum:


Watch window


Arrange windows:


Freeze panes:


Zoom 100%:


Options for selected cells:


I have managed to learn 20 features from Excel until now.I have a variety of different features I have simple formats and complex formats.Another subject I believe this would be useful in is science as we conduct many experiments and we ca  use this to take down our results.The way to will help is that it will make it easier for us to out the data into a table or a graph  for our results.I believe I have used my time wisely as I was able to use excel in a more advance way now as I was able to learn many features that can help me use it in amore advance way that can help me use it in a correct way to enable me to use it well.To conclude I have learnt a lot of features that will enable me to improve my skills in excel to make myself better at using excel to be bale to use it well.

Criteria D reflection

Criteria D reflection ICT:

This tech fair my partner Kiyara  have worked on creating Webtoons which are online comics that are originated from Korea.We decided for our Webtoons to be based on daily school days and their different happenings.I believe that our project is actually a very good tech fair project, a reason I believe so is that were able to successfully use technology in a correct ad proper manner, we were able to use it when we used the Wacom Intuos ( a device used to display whatever you draw on that board onto a laptop) to be able to draw it onto a software ( in this case Autodesk) on my laptop and iPad  for us to be able to create our comics.I believe that the end results were good and that we were able to complete them successfully and overall I believe that it is a very good project but could use some improvements in terms of artistic techniques however in general for the whole project it is very good and the final are quite good and much better than what I expected but it could still use some improvements.

For this project we had a targeted audience which was 9-13 year olds as they would have been able to experience the happenings used in the comics as me and my partner basically based the comic on our daily experiences in school.I believe that it is actually beneficial for this audience as they are not very old for it, one way that this is useful is that maybe inspire some other children in that age to make Webtoons like these as a hobby or just for their desire.It could also help them as sometimes people in school in that age could dislike school and that may lead to other issues this comic can help them as maybe it can help them think off school with a different perspective maybe in a more positive or funnier which can help them look at school in a different and better way.Those are two ways that it can be useful and helpful to our chosen targeted audience.

For this project I believe we were able to complete and compose it successfully and correctly and that the end we were able to have a good end result that is very good but could still be improved.For this project I believe a suitable grade for the project overall would be an 8 or 7 out of 10, the reason I would give us that mark is that the final result was very good however I believe that I could have improved in my artistic skills and maybe I could have improved in terms of using color.For Kiyara I believe that she did extremely well and her use of color was very good but she could still use a much smaller amount of improvement than me.So I believe that the mark would be 8 out of 10 due to the amount of effort we put, the use of technology we had and our artistic skills.

As for the tech fair we would love to be in the fair as it is something incredibly honorable  to be able to be chosen in the fair.I believe that our project is worthy to enter the fair but also not extremely worthy.I think it is worthy because it is a good project overall and we were able to successfully cooperate art and technology together to create and compose this project.the second reason I believe it is worthy is that it is a useful and entertaining project that could affect the audience well.A reason why I think it may no be worthy is that it is not a very high quality project.











Peer evaluation ICT Tech Fair presentations

Peer assessment

The first group that presented yesterday was Ananya and Rania, their project was a VR headset What they did was that they printed the layout of the headset, stuck onto cardboard and then cut it out to create the headset. For the video, they downloaded a software where they can take screenshots to create a video.In their presentation, they fully explained their project well with all details.They were able to explain how it is made, what are its purposes and the different features included in the project itself.They were also able to show us how they created it themselves and not just that but also they were able to show us how the product actually works and also the final result of the project they created.Other than that they were also able to give us a descriptive and detailed description of what the project is, how it works, the materials used in it and how they were able to use technology for it.I believe their overall presentation was very good however maybe they could have tried to have more communication that may be could be more informative.I think their project is very good however, I don't really find it useful towards the society.

Another project that presented was done by Karim his project, was also a VR headset except Karim created his one movie that is around 25 mins long.His movie was created totally by himself, he created his ow work on Minecraft.On Minecraft, he used the different features to create a full work with many different objects that were set according to his persona desire of choices for objects to create.In his presentation, he presented to us the project in its final stage.He showed us a small video that was a part of the whole movie that showed the camera shown different perspectives of his world.Karim was able to describe all the different features of it and was also able to give us a detailed description of what it is, what were the steps he used and many other details about the project.I believe that Karim’s presentation was very clear and he was also able to informative and project his voice well.One thing I believe he can improve is maybe to add one or two more details like her it is targeted at and how it is useful.I really like his work, however, the only thing that I think should have been thought about was if it is useful in any kind of way but it can be useful as it ma inspires people to use regular software to create something very interesting.

Another project that also presented was made by Ward and Malak, their project is a photo shoot.What they created was that a photo border for people to take pictures using backgrounds and props that they will get.For the backgrounds, they will be using software to create the backgrounds fro people to ba able ton choose a background and have I at the back of them so that they can then use backgrounds when taking a picture with the background of their desire through a software that they will be using.Ward and Malak were able to give a good description with most of their features.I am; give their presentation was good, however, I think the still could have improved in term of communication as they didi not speak too much and did not give much information that would help us be informed fully about the project.Something I think they can improve is that maybe they can show us their very final result next time and also share with us some more information about it.I think it is a very nice project but not very beneficial however it is till beneficial in the way that it could entertain and provide people services in celebrations.

The next day more people presented their projects:

One of the groups that presented were Akshansh and Davide.Their project is a maze rover, this rover was made by the both of them however they used a kit with instructions to be able to build and compose the object but they were still able to independently program the object (rover) and also build the maze using cardboard and tape to build the maze 3D on the floor for people to be able to use it.They were able to give us a very good description of their project.with all the details to describe their project.They were successfully able to describe how it is made, how it is programmed and many other informative details about their projects.I believe their presentation and project were both very good but could still have used some improvements on it.Something they can improve is maybe they should be able to project their voices a little higher for us to hear them a little better and understand them a little better and maybe they can add a little comer details next time.

The next group that presented was Imaan and Gunce su, their project was paper speakers.Their project uses cables/wires and paper to be able to take music and project it with a louder sound.I think their presentation was okay but not very good as I could not really hear them or comprehend them as the handwriting on their slideshow/video was quite small which prevented me from being able to read any of the text on the slides/video.The described their project however it was not very clear and did not include many details and was not that informative so I was actually unable to know any details about their project and when they tried it it was notary successful but when they tried it a second time it didi not work but not well.Their presentation was okay but I was unable to understand much from it.For their project, I think it was good however when they tried doing it did not go very well.I think something they ca improve their presentation I maybe they should make a more detailed description for us to comprehend a little better and for us to be able to know more details about the project.

Another group that also presented was Ashkan and Arthur.Their project was the world that they created a game on their computer.It mainly involved them drawing animals and dinosaurs which as they mentioned was something that they enjoyed which allowed their project to be something fun for them.I think their presentation was good but not very good as they did not give much clear information about the project but could give a somewhat description of it, also their poster was quite unclear and hard to understand a little but I believe that their general project is really good however they need to improve their presentation and their communication skills with the audience.I believe maybe something that they can add to their presentation next time would be extra points about the project and maybe they should give a more detailed description and make a more clear poster for us to be able to understand.
