paper tower challenge

The paper tower challenge is a challenge to see who can make the largest tower out of only paper and tape. Mr. Goldstein gave us an 8.5 X 11 piece of paper, 12” of tape and scissors. The rules were that you couldn’t have the scissors attached to the structure, the tower had to be connected to the table and you only had 20 minutes.

            We found the time limit of time challenging. We also found the lack of materials challenging.  When our tower started to fall down we didn’t have a lot of time to fix it so it was leaning over when we measured it.

            Our tower ended up being 23 ½ inches tall. To make it taller we could of cut the tape long ways so we had to use. We could of also cut the paper differently.

            We worked well as a team because we both shared our ideas and then found a way to make the tower. We could of worked better by putting more ideas out there. We learned that sometimes working as a team is hard but its better to have 4 or 6 hands then only 2. We learned that trying to solve a problem might be harder than it looks or seems 

            The paper tower challenge was hard but we learned a lot. It was fun to work as a group but also difficult.

My name is sepand z. and I created the micro zap with my group. The group was Brandon, Corey, Bryan, Carlos and I. we were all brainstorming while thinking about the invention, and then Bryan thought about the micro zap.

        The micro zap is basically a box that has a huge zap button on side of the box. It’s all black and the zap button is purple. We painted it very good and choice the best colors possible.

 It works by writing what you want on a piece of paper what you want to eat, then you open the micro zap and place the piece of paper in the micro zap, you then press zap and whatever you wrote on the piece of paper would appear right before your eyes.

        The difficulties of the project was waiting for the paint to dry and videotaping the project. While videotaping the project we had to retake shots over and over again till we finally got the right shot.

        The poster we made was very nice it was very colorful it had a picture of a hamburger that I made. It was like a McDonald’s big mac but better. I think it would taste good if it was real.

        The micro zap was successful and the project was fine till we left it outside and some kids broke it. But overall we enjoyed working with everyone and had fun.

Script:
Joe: Ugh, I’m so hungry. I wish there was a way to get food super quickly.

Salesman: Well look no further! Introducing the Micro-Zap! The micro-zap is a fast way to get your food. Here is how it works. You write what you want on a piece of paper and stick it into the micro-zap. Then, click the ZAP button and its there!

Dwyane: I got my micro-zap and I love it!

Albert: Oh me too! It is amazing!

Joe: Well where can I get one?

Salesman: I happen to have one with me now. Here you go. *gives Joe the micro-zap*

*Shows how Microzap is used*

Joe: Whoa thanks!

Dwyane: The MircroZap is only 9,875 dollars!

Invention Essay
Our invention is insta-abs.
We created it because its hard and takes a while to get a six-pack.
Its wasn’t that hard to think of were lazy and we wanted six packs.
The thumbnail was easy we drew a seringe and a stick figure.
Someone would buy it because who doesn’t want a six-pack. The cost is $600.
Our script was about a ripped guy who has a pale friend who wants a 6-pack. So the ripped guy brings him to a doctor who gives him a shot that gives him a 6-pack. He needed a 6-pack so he could go to the tool convention with his swole friend.
Our sketches were the before where he is flat chested. Then it shows during the surgery with the injection. Then it shoes the end results with his brand new 6-pack set of abs.
The problem we had with our video was we kept repeating words or scenes or messing up a high five or something stupid. We also had some mix-ups with our lines. What we would do next time is make sure we don’t repeat any lines or scenes and make sure we remember our lines perfectly. To solve the problems we just kept trying until we got it right.
What we learned from the project is some lazy people use surgery to get what other people achieve by hard work and determinations with a shot and money. Money makes the world go round.

Invention Essay
By Bruno F
Me and Jack .E worked as a team to create an idea by looking for objects in the room to see if it’s eligible. We both had a hard time agreeing on one thing, when we finally agreed on something. We both agreed on the idea of making my watch a teleporting device that teleports objects from your house to your current location. We first started off by making sketches of how the watch would look and how it works. Then we decided to just leave it the way it was. So then, we started on the poster. It took really long to finish it due to our disagreeing. We were the last ones to finish it. When we finally finished the poster, we were thinking of ideas for the video we were going shoot.

Our invention was the “T-Bolt”. The T-Bolt is a watch that can teleport any object from your house to your current location. How, you ask? Well first you would have to scan the object by pressing and holding the “T” button on the watch. When you do that, a beam should come out of the watch. When the beam comes out, you have to scan the objects you want. The T-Bolt has no limit! You can scan endless object to your watch. Then, when you need the object, you simply press the “T” Button and type in what you need. After you type it in, the object will come out of the other side. It’s that easy!

Jack and I came up with the idea by first brainstorming for any eligible objects around the room. When we finally decided to use my watch, we started making thumbnail sketches for our poster. We drew out examples of what we would draw in our poster. When we finished, with our ideas, we started on our poster. We first started of by drawing the title of our invention on our poster. Me and jack decided that our strategy was “I draw, and he colors.” So I drew the watch and he colored it. When we finished the watch, we started writing a description of the T-Bolt that tells what it does, why you should buy it, and how much it costs.

Next, Jack and I wrote a script for our video that we were going to shoot. Our script was about our characters speaking of the T-Bolt and the problem one of the characters was facing, which was forgetting his wallet. After we finished the script, we started on the storyboard. The storyboard was going to be what was happening in our video. When we shot the video, we faced a lot of problems, like saying our parts wrong. What we did differently was practice a little them shot the video.

What we learned was how to do so many things on the computer, like how to edit the video in Windows Moviemaker. We also had a lot of fun.

Morphy Essay

          My invention is Morphy. Morphy is a shape shifting gum that makes you grow. We have had a great experience making an invention with my group. We have ran into many problems with our group, but we have been able to work then out and make a great invention with a wonderful video and other requirements that were needed for this project. We encountered problems about the size of our group not being large enough for our video, but Shelby was glad and happy to assist us in our group and has been a great addition to our group. She helped with the planning of the video, finding props, and setting up the props in the video location while I shot the video and Mahmoud, Brooklyn, and Josias were the characters in our video. Shelby has been helping with the additional things needed for the blog page, such as, reports and other writing, since she is the best writer in our group, paint, and helping with the video editing. Anyway we have Josias and Brooklyn in our video, they are not actually in our group. Our group is made up of, Mahmoud, Shelby, and me, we have all been trying to help out on what we think we do best in technology and can help the group get the best grade on using our best abilities. I am very sorry my essay is late. I was helping the rest of my group with our project, editing the video, and helping Shelby learn about the different programs since she was not in our class for the 3^rd 9 weeks. I hope I can still get the grade I deserve on this essay and I won’t turn in any more late work. I will try my hardest in the rest of your class, and I will listen to you and your input on our group’s project and blog page. Aside all the problems the experience and the knowledge and friendships I have made will stick with me forever and thank you for all your help this year. I should have respected you for your knowledge, input, and your desire to help educate children about the technology we will be using in our life time. You are truly an amazing teacher and educator. Thank you for educating me on the technology I will use tomorrow and throughout my life time. I have learned in your class about technology, respect, how to be a good friend, and how to respect people of all age groups and be considerate. Thank you for being so harsh on me this year and inspiring me to do better,  pushing me to do better and making me want to do better for myself and help others around me. I hope I have you again next year. I will always remember you for what I have walked away knowing in your class and you for everything you have taught me, and I have learned from your great wisdom and your knowledge I have learned from you.

Messi 10’s

Our team invention is called Messi 10s. The Messi 10s are soccer cleats, not just any soccer cleats, cleats that make you play like Messi (Messi is currently the best soccer player in the world. We made the price 410 dollars because they make you play soccer really good.

In the beginning we didn’t know what to do but then since we are all soccer players we decided to do something about soccer. When we came up with the color, design, and brand of the Messi 10s we had to think how we were going to make the poster. It started with a rough draft on a small piece of paper. It had MESSI 10S on the top, the price, the shoes in the middle, a kid playing soccer wearing the cleats, and a sentence saying “makes you play like Messi”.

When we finished the poster we had to make an electronic version of our poster. It was hard to draw the cleat with the mouse, but we did it. All of it was the same.

After that everybody had to make a video showing your product doing what it does, but before that you had to make a script. The script for us was easy because we already knew what we were going to do. The hard part was to do all of the tricks we planned. Our video was good and our teacher liked it.
