(There is a shortcut in your class folder to get to the above link).

• Introduction – What is the design process? Why is it important? What are the steps of the design process? (Defining the problem, gathering information, developing possible solutions, selecting and refining the best solution, building a model of the solution, testing the solution, evaluating the solution and communicating the solution).

• Defining the problem:

o What was the design challenge? What materials were did you have to use for the structure? What were your thoughts when you first heard what the challenge was—did you think it was possible?

• Gathering information:
o What were sources of information you used to help you figure out a solution?
(The teacher, the design packet, the members of your group, other groups).

• Developing Possible solutions:

o Describe the four ideas you sketched for your platform.
o What structural shapes did you use for each?
o What were the possible advantages and disadvantages of each idea?

o Which idea did you choose? Why?

• Building the platform:
o What challenges did you encounter as you built the platform?

o How did you video the building of the platform?
o How long did it take to build the platform?

• Testing the solution:
o Describe your testing of the platform? How did you feel as you placed the weight on the platform? Were other people watching? Did you think the platform would hold? How many textbooks did you stack on your platform? What was the total weight? Describe what the collapse of your platform looked like (the books falling, the crushed platform, the sounds).

• Evaluating the solution:
o How well did your platform work? What were the strengths of your platform? What were the weaknesses? Were you able to improve upon your first idea? How?

• Communicating the solution:
o Making an intro video -
Describe how you made your into video (be specific). What did you include in the intro video? If you had problems with shooting the video, describe the problems you had. What did you do to fix the problems?

o Filming the making of your platform –
Describe how you shot the making of your platform (Did you use a tripod? Did you shoot on continuous mode? Video mode?)
o Filming the testing of your platform – Describe.
o Describe how you edited your video in Windows Movie Maker (titles, sequencing clips, trimming clips as needed, fast motion effects, credits, music).

• Teamwork: How well did your group work together as a team? What were the benefits of working as a team? What problems did you encounter working as a team? How did you work out your problems?

• Write a conclusion—what did you learn from this project?

Our invention was the Food Phone, “our” as in four middle schooler’s who don’t know anything about working as a team, but we did it and had a great time while we did it. Our idea was to make a phone be a food teleportation device. Three things we had to do were make a poster and script, make a storyboard and video, and last we edited and shared the video.

Coming up with the idea was easy–we all like food and we all like cell phones. We put it together and we got The Food Phone. We thought about the prices and the things it would do and we came up with charging $500 for the retail price and $15.99 a month and your first three months are free. We came up with the idea that if we had the technology to teleport things we would have food be teleported by texting in the food you want and it pops or “poofs” out of a space from your cell phone. We made a poster by drawing and coloring in the pictures and writing facts and guarantees.

After that we wrote a script and Ralitza and I decided who was going to play whom. So Jonathan G played the kid who doesn’t have any money with him to buy food and is sad until his friend (Ralitza) comes and lets him brrow the Food Phone and he get his food. I was the spokesperson who announced things and did most of the transactions and Cassandra was the camera person.

After all the writing we also did some drawing or as Mr.Goldstien calls it, storyboarding. To make a storyboard you have to take multiple kinds of shots which include close up, even closer us, and even closer up. so our close ups were first you see me (spokesperson) and then we close up to Jonathan. Then we zoom out to me, then close up again then you show all of us then we made a montage of kids in our class with the food phone and a bag of little bites and a drink with smiles on their faces. Then we shot our video, which caused a lot of problems, we couldn’t stop laughing. Jonathan wasted time getting annoyed and Cassy kept moving the camera. Mostly Jonathan wouldn’t smile, but I had a great time even though we had to keep retaking it. I don’t think I would have done anything differently.

Next we edited our video. Which mostly me and Jonathan did was get music for the titles and credits and picking out transitions together, and Cassy and Ralitza helped. We shared it, Jonathan mostly did that. Which we posted on our class room blog http:// weblogs.pbspaces,.com/mrgoldstein.

Our group worked great together because we all made each other laugh, each of us contributed an equal amount of wok and ideas into our project. The only problem we encountered was that we honestly were so busy having fun that we wasted our time by making mistakes. I guess we worked that problem out by finishing on time and the video coming out great. I think the thing that in particularly enjoyed about making a video and having the whole world being able to see it. I think the thing that our team worked best at was the editing because we got it done the quickest.

I loved creating the food phone and doing the invention project. Something I learned about this project was a lot of fun and making a commercial is really easy when you have Mr. Goldstein as a teacher. Don’t forget to watch our video!

THE ANI-TRANS

About three weeks ago Mr. Goldstein assigned us a project where we had to work in teams to make a video about a new invention. My team made an animal translator called Ani-Trans. It started the video, poster, and script, which you can see at weblogs.pbspaces.com.

THE IDEA IS BORN

We were just sitting around when I came up with the idea that we should make an animal translator. We made a poster with the picture of the invention and a description of it. You could listen to your pet to understand what they want. It only cost sixty bucks. I drew the pictures and did some of the writing for the poster

WHAT IS THE ANI-TRANS

The Ani-trans was a pair of headphones and a backpack that I found at the store. The whole budget was $110, probably the most expensive project.

THE SCRIPT

In our script we said that the Ani-trans was only sixty bucks and easy to use. Then I made a storyboard of the video while my partner did nothing and we had an up close shot and an extremely up close shot. Some problems we encountered were that my partner didn’t want to be in the video, so we made him be a talking cat. But he still didn’t cooperate and kept saying meow meow meow in my ear. We used string to make the cat move and dance. We put it in a tree and a vending machine and even through it up in the air.

EDITING

Then we made bloopers and credits. Later we edited the video and that was fun. I made transitions like fade in sideways, zoom in, spin, and fade out. I also added a bloopers title. Mr. Goldstein helped me put music in. I picked a polka song but it didn’t work, so I found another one. After that we put the video on weblogs.

THE THINGS I LEARNED

My partner did help me with the poster and did eventually act in the video while being chased by a cat, so I think that you need a team to make a video or movie. I enjoyed editing the video and watching it. The editing and filming went well.

CONCLUSION

I think the video was a success. I cut some videos and added some. We had arguments and made them up. What I learned was that you need to pick your partners well.

My creative team, Stephanie and I, worked together on the invention project by brainstorming different ideas. We came up with many good inventions, but none of them seemed quite right. Then, we came up with the idea of the “Zapper 5001.” Stephanie and I are very creative and very smart, so, it was not much of a challenge for us to come up with a new invention that people everywhere could use. My team’s invention is called the “Zapper 5001” It is designed to “zap” you into a video game. This is a great invention because, it’s like playing video games but, instead of starring at a blinking screen and pressing buttons, you are in the game having more fun while being active. We came up with many different ideas, things that have to do with technology, and thus, the Zapper 5001 was born. My team’s thumbnail sketch showed a computer with a camera that puts you in the game. Next, we made a poster for our invention. It featured a computer with a Mario game on the screen with a girl poking her head in the game because she just entered the game. It also said the invention costs $5000.01 because it is called Zapper 5001.

The script for our movie was about a girl who is playing video games but decides she would like it better if she could really play it herself. Then, a voice comes and shows her how to zap her into the game she was playing. She enters the game and becomes Harry Potter. The girl jumps in the air and says, “Yay.” Next, Stephanie played a different girl who is demonstrating how the invention works. Finally, we shot our video. Most of it went smoothly, but, we had a small problem. We only had two people in our group, and one person had to be holding the camera. We solved that problem by having just one person in the video at a time.

The next step we took in the video process was editing our movie. First, we put a title for our movie, Zapper 5001. Second, we put in the different shots we wanted in a certain order. Next, we put in the bloopers from our video. There was one of Stephanie being distracted by various things. Another one we had was of me falling down when I jumped in the air. The bloopers were very humorous. Finally, we added credits. We put all the jobs that Stephanie and I did in the video. It was a team effort.

Lastly, we shared our video in the classroom blog at http://weblogs.pbspaces.com/mrgoldstein. My team worked very well together as a team. It is not hard to work together with your best friend. We did not argue much but if we ever disagreed on something, we would settle it in a civilized manner by talking it out, we are not homo habillis. I think our poster went particularly well because Stephanie is an incredible artist and we wrote very clever things to advertise our product. I enjoyed a lot of things about this project. I enjoyed working with my best friend, drawing our wonderful poster, shooting our video, and most of all, creating the Zapper 5001. This project taught me how to advertise, how to make a movie, and how to work together as a team.

THE BIRTH OF THE R4-84
We had to do an invention project for technology. David, Chase, and me. I thought of a robot. Chase though of a different robot. David wanted to make ‘The Get a Woman Instantly.’ We agreed on the robot.

It would have a claw to pick up things. We then argued on what it should look like. I could not make one to pick up things. We then agreed on making one that would attack animals. David then blurted out a name “The R4-84.”

MAKING THE R4-84
I said I can make one out of Lego, so they agreed. Then I created the R4-84, which I made out of scratch. I made a claw on the chassis of a Lego car. Then I added programming and calculated distances. Then I tested it; it was a success.

Chase and David liked it, so did the whole class. I didn’t think they would like it this much. Everyone came over there and wanted to see it and try it out. We had to make them go back to their group. It was a success!

WRITING THE SCRIPT

We had to write a script for our commercial. This is what we came up with: Chase: Aaaaaaaa! David: Has this happened to you? Well, try the R4-84! (New scene) Marcell: The R4-84 may attack you … warning. Chase: Ghaa! Yaaaaaa! (Struggles) Yaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Marcell: Listen to these happy costumers! Costumer NB1: The R4-84 Ruined my life! Why would you make such a thing? Why would you….. Costumer NB2: It Tried to KILL ME!!! Costumer NB 3: Don’t… buy… it….

SHOOTING THE VIDEO
We then shot our video. We added some things, and took some things out. We took out the parts we couldn’t make. Then we added more parts and bloopers. The bloopers were a bunch of funny videos and thing that made no sense what so ever. They were about things like ‘the world has gone mad!’

THE EDITING

We encountered some technical difficulties, including many re-shoots, mistimed shots, wrong angles, and more. We kept pausing at wrong times. We made many mistakes. We then had to narrow down 32 videos. We finally finished the editing, but then the video got sticky. We went to solve the problem. We then posted it to the Vodcast server.

CONCLUSION

We (I mean I) edited the videos. I cropped them, put them together, and added titles and credits. I made sure that it was good. We had some fights about editing, shooting, and making the whole thing look good. We got them resolved, thought. We had fun during the project. I can’t wait for the next one!

The R4-84 protects you from pests.

Working together for our project was a wondrous experience. My teammates and I laughed our lungs out when we were just coming up with half-brained, often hilariously silly, ideas for an invention. Sierra and Kelly were the ones who came up with it, the simple pencil-drawings that led to our entire project. Hsiao-mei and I produced our script, along with props and ideas (again, most of them ridiculous) whilst the others wrote each and every thing down. A project pulled out of the pure effort of teamwork, we knew our labor would not be wasted, that our idea would unanonymously be rewarded with no less then the best of them.

Our glorified inventions are the Undo Button and Sun-in-a-bottle. Spouted out of pure lunacy, the Sun-in-a-bottle has an unusual creation. We were contemplating Sierra’s exquisite tan, when it was suggested that we should make something that would give people her ability to be tan both where and whenever they pleased. As such, Sun-in-a-bottle was created to not only give others sun-kissed skin, but to also give them an artificial sun of sorts during winter and rainy seasons. I mused it would be vastly popular in Seattle. The Undo Button was a fail-safe of sorts. For separate price it was determined that it would be sold with the Sun-in-a-bottle. The object of such an invention was so that if you got a sun-burn from the former, it would be cleared away as you were sent back in time to redo the moment. It works for other things as well. Such as: if you were mugged, you could go back in time and stop that, or an accident of some other sorts. These two seemingly harmless products work together to defy the laws of nature.

Creating a thumbnail for our project was relatively simple. After all, all we had to do was take a glimpse in the crack of the hard shell that held the utter chaos and possibly lewd turmoil that is a teenage girl’s mind. We made it just as we made our inventions; out of jokes and humor. Designing our poster was the same, we spent our time smiling and joking in mild banter as we moved our pencils, markers, and crayons to form large, brightly coloured bubble letters. Our actual drawings may not have been that great, but thinking of all the hard work and laughing that went into it, it was, to us, the best in the room.

Our script was interesting to make. We merely wrote down each and every thing that we thought we should say. It was a group experience, although being made by teenagers of the feminine variety, it sounded a bit…odd at the beginning. The script itself was not made to be taken seriously at all. However, we weren’t joking when it came to the matter of rehearsing the script. All previous giggles came to halt, with only a small lingering trace of a smile in our eyes giving hint that there had been any at all. Now let’s get on to the script itself. The plot of story was about our protagonist, Kelly, going to the grocery. When she exits shop, she runs into a mysterious stranger (Sierra) in the alley. Upon meeting the stranger, she is given a bag for free. Kelly takes the bag and runs off into the sunset. She wakes up the next day sun-burnt from the Sun-in-a-bottle (Which, along with the Undo Button, was inside the bag.) The stranger from the alley pops up behind her from the bathroom, telling her she messed up, what gave her sunburn, and what else was in the bag. Kelly then fainted. A Sun-in-a-bottle representative pops up and explains the products. The end. As for the shots, we used almost all of them, except for the extreme close up. The only problem we encountered when filming our videos was when the bell rang and we had to stop production in order to not get any kids in the shot. To edit our video, we put it on Windows Movie Maker. We then cut out and added bits and pieces and music to our film, and it was ready. Once that was done, we uploaded it to our class’s blog. Working as a team, we were extremely efficient. We got the job done faster. We did not encounter any problems aside from the occasional panting of air whenever we got breathless from laughing. Which was often. In conclusion, I learned how to work better in a group, which to me is a huge lesson.

Our invention is the sun in the bottle and undo button . The sun in the bottle is artificial sun and to make it work you open the bottle . The undo button undoes things , your mistakes really . This is by Sierra A. Katie A. Kelly C. Hsiaomei C. period 4 .

Final Exam Essay

In class we did an invention project. My invention for the invention project is the Bacon Blaster. We came up with this invention when my group and I were all hungry waiting for lunch as we were thinking of ideas. Then we went off topic and started talking about our favorite food; we all agreed that bacon was our favorite food and that everything should be bacon. Thus the Bacon Blaster was made.

After we had out invention made up in our minds it was time for us to make a poster for our invention to be hanged in the classroom. First we made a sketch of what the Bacon Blaster what looked like on a piece of paper. Once we all agreed on a design; we then made the poster on a bigger piece of paper also on the paper we put a price, what the invention did and how it worked and why someone should buy it, and a big title of the invention.

After we made the poster for the invention we made a script. The script was a pain to make because we all couldn’t agree on a layout for the script and once we had one. One of the people who had to play a certain role in the script didn’t want to. Anyways when we finally finished the script and got everyone’s role and lines set together. We had to go record it with the camera provided to us from the teacher. We had many problems with the recording. First we had someone in the background of the sound yelling random words and phrases. Then we had a problem with some people’s roles and lines and had to rewrite the script. Once that was settled we had to go take different camera angles when video taping which was even more of a pain because of other people continuously getting in the way of the camera. However some of the shots we took while taking the video was an extreme close up, pan in, and tilt. Some of the shots we will do differently will be to have a less crowded place to take the video. Finally after many tries we got all the shots we needed with the camera.

After we got all the video footage we needed we had to edit it all together. We had to mute the sound in one clip because of someone yelling that we picked up in the background. Then we had to add in some sound into the clip that we muted because it sounded weird without any sound. After the video was all done being edited we posted it on the classroom blog.

In general, my group worked great as a team; everyone did their part. Some of the benefits of working as a team are that we had to do less work as a single person, but as a whole group we did the same amount of work. Some of the problems we had working as a team is communication problems. To fix this we yelled at each other. The thing I enjoyed the much during this project is that we got to make a poster. What went well with this project was the poster because we had very few dilemmas with it. From doing this project I learned that working as a team is fun but harder then working alone. When you are alone you know the whole layout and everything you’re going to be doing; however while in a group you have to explain to different people your ideas and thoughts and have to fight over with them on who is right and who’s idea the group will be doing.

My team and I had a bit of trouble creating an idea. We finally all agreed on rocket shoes. We named it Air-Force 2. I started to sketch a drawing of my shoe, which is actually how we got the idea of rocket shoes. The names of the shoes I own are Air-Force 1. This made us realize the name has to do with flying so we decided to make rocket shoes to with the name Air-force 2. The sketch came out great and then I redrew the shoe on to the poster and the rest of my team colored it in red and white.

Air-Force 2 cost $259.99 the reason for buying the shoes were that man can finally fly without a plane. For our script we decided to make it like an infomercial and spoke really fast giving facts about the shoes. We had a problem when filming because we ran out of film. Other than that we had no problems we just got a new sd card. Then we edited a picture of me flying across our schools courtyard where we also filmed.

I filmed Silvia, David, Lucy, and Dylan cheering me on while I was flying. Then Mr.Goldstein helped our group edit a photo of me doing a Superman pose with rockets and then made it so that I look like I am flying across the school courtyard.

It was difficult working as a group, we all debated on what to film or what parts not to film. The biggest problem was when we had to film me jumping like super man, I wasn’t allowed to jump so that’s were the animation came in. Other than that we had fun and got along.

Technology 1st Final Exam – Essay

Imagine the future as a ball of clay, and imagine making something from it. Well, it’s only nine weeks into school and kids are already molding the future. In Mr. Goldstein’s technology class (period 2) kids are putting their hands down and creating inventions that no one ever thought possible. Everyone in the class broke into groups and started brainstorming their hardest. When everyone was done brainstorming, they would then draw the thumbnail, draw the poster, film the movie, and upload it onto the computer (Windows Movie Maker and the class blog). Our class is quite a bunch!

For starters, everyone was in groups of four or five except my group. My group of people consists of only me and Gillian, we were slower than all the other groups but our ideas were amazing (courtesy our imagination). Together we decided on the Zapper 5001. The Zapper 5001 is a little camera that can zap you into any video game on your computer and even your television. Gillian and I came up with the invention by stating the first thing that came to our minds; we would then write it down in our notebooks then when we started drawing, we chose what to put on our thumbnails. When it came time for our poster, we started drawing pretty fast but we soon fell behind because of the half days and religious holidays. Our poster was filled with color; you could look at it and never see a white spot. We wrote a lot about the invention too; we wrote how the invention could help you, how it could make life easier and how much it cost ($5000.01!!!). We would state how pressing buttons were boring, how all you have to do was press a button and you could get in the game, and on and on and on. I honestly think that the poster was the hardest part. And that was only the beginning!

Secondly, we began to write our script and draw our storyboards. Our script was hilarious but we had errors in the process so we rewrote it in a calmer version. It was about how a girl (Gillian) was tired of play the same old video game and that she wanted to actually be in the game; and then I come in and say that she can with the Zapper 5001. She would then change into a Harry Potter outfit and go outside and say that she was in a Harry Potter game. Finally the script will end with everyone saying how much they liked the invention. After we wrote the script, we drew a quick (but messy) storyboard with stick figures jumping in the air or wearing little hats. We thought about making the Harry Potter scene outside and the Zapper 5001 advertisement inside. This was one of the hardest parts because we encountered so many errors. This step was probably longer than the first step.

Third, Gillian and I had to memorize all our lines and shoot the video. We had so many difficulties. Some of them were that I lost my props or that the background sounds were so noisy. The camera also never turned in on the right time so we had to time the video correctly. And the most annoying perk was that no one could hold the cameras for us so we had to take the videos separately with only one person in the video at a time. We tried moving away to avoid the sounds, we did time the camera correctly, but we just couldn’t get two people in the video at once so we just made do with what we had. The next time we ever have a project like this, I will make sure that our group has at least three people and that we stay out of noisy places. Who knew just one simple video could cause so much trouble!

Lastly, we edited, shared, and worked together. When we edited our video we first uploaded the videos and photos to the computer and then put it on Windows Movie Maker and put them in order. Then we added titles and credits. After adding titles and credits; we made transitions and that is where the errors happened. When we added the transitions, the transition cut part of our movie off so we decided not to have any on the important spots. When our video was perfect, we shared it by posting it onto our classroom blog. We went on to the website (http://weblogs.pbspaces.com/mrgolstein) and then posted it on. Gillian and I worked pretty well as a team because it’s not easy to do a giant project with only two people. We had some ups and downs though; like, when Gillian was absent I had to do the poster all by myself which slowed us down. Another one was that I lost my props so we didn’t have all the humor we wanted to be in the video. But we went on as fast as we could and we edited our scripts so that the missing props won’t cause a problem. The ups were that we could work two times as fast as one person could and that we had a good process going (I would come up with the ideas and Gillian would write it down or vice versa). I really enjoyed being with my best friend, Gillian; and expressing my creativity. I thought that the poster look magnificent, all the details were perfect, the words were spelled correctly, and that was the only thing that we didn’t have errors on. The ending took a lot of work, but it was worth it, everything turned our perfect.

To sum it all up, Gillian and I made a project called the Zapper 5001. We went throught so many processes to make this successful. We made thumbnails, drew a poster, wrote scripts, and filmed movies. I learned to not underestimate things on how easy they look or sound and that success comes out of time and hard work. Now all we have to do is let this masterpiece dry and make its way into the world just like the future that our minds just molded.

TECHNOLOGY FINAL EXAM BY: JOSHUA R.

My name is Josh R. for my invention project I invented Horcrux Hunt. Horcrux Hunt is a board game. In Horcrux Hunt you get transported in the world of Harry Potter. In this game you have to search for Voldemorts 7 Horcruxs to destroy and kill him. The definition for a Horcrux – Dark Magic which is injected into objects which you hide, to separate your soul into seven pieces. Here are some of the reasons of how are Harry Potter fan group created this awesome invention/Board Game.

In our group we all liked Harry Potter so we all thought it would be an amazing idea to make an Invention involving Harry Potter. At first we couldn’t think of any ideas but then we thought wouldn’t it be a spectacular idea to create a board game that transports you into the world of Harry Potter. In my group we all knew how Harry Potter killed Voldemort so we thought why dont we make a game that you actually get to kill Voldemort yourself instead of Harry Potter getting all the kudos.

In our script we made it a message from yours truly Harry Potter in which he shows up in a crystal ball from the human world and sends a message for all muggles. In this game the muggles can feel the power to be a potentially powerful wizard who gets the opportunity in the virtual world to kill Voldemort. In our script we liked the way we worded it because we tried to make a mix of human words and words from the world of wizardry. This was so muggles can comprehend with such words.

We all had a very long complicated story board for this invention. This was very complicated for our group because we all had a very complex invention which non Harry Potter fans/ muggles wouldn’t understand. Our story board had 5 to 6 slides. The story board took us a half an hour to forty five minutes.

When our group shot our video we kept having to restart because there was too much background noise. On top of all this shenanigans I kept laughing. Our camera person kept going off into space and wandering off. We all mostly had trouble getting it so I could see the script without it hitting the lens of the camera when we were recording our video.

To stop these problems we kept waiting for everybody else to finish so there was the least bit of background noise. After that we also waited till we were calmed down and serious so we wouldn’t keep ruining the video by laughing.

When we edited our video we took our time. This process took either one or two days I don’t remember. I picked out our groups music because we couldn’t find Hedwigs theme on royalty free music so we had to improvise..

When we designed our script it went well because it took us five minutes and it came out great. When are group was writing the script we thought of using Harry Potter because he is the main actor in the Harry Potter movie series. We didn’t add Ron or Hermione because it was to much to do and we would have to buy more costumes so we decided just to do Harry Potter.

The best part of the project was by far are group. In our group we worked together because it was a girl who I know from the temple and soccer and the other girl is in three of my classes. I actually really enjoyed this project and I hope that we do this project again if i’m in technology.
