Term 3 - Storage Devices

 Statement of Inquiry:

 Data storage has evolved through technological advances in the medium of storage devices

Introduction:

 There are many types of storage devices. Storage devices are a very essential part of the computer. We use storage devices in our every day lives. Without storage devices we would not be able to save files on our desktop computer. Information can be stored in a device. A storage device can hold information, process information or both.

Global Context:
 Information Literacy:
My research is a reliable source as my target audience are Year 7's. The English used in booklet is simple and there are more visuals to attract the Year 7's. I did not use any "hard'' English and if I had to I would put it in bold and write the definition somewhere else on the page. I put my information in bullet points to make my information easier for the year 7's to read. I also put many visuals on the front cover and big text to attract the student as younger children like more visuals and don't really like to read a lot.

Communication:
The booklet is presented very easy.There are many visuals and the same font size in every inner page. Each inner page has simple bullet points. I used different types of font styles for my booklet such as Broadway BT, Juice ITC and Calibri.

Reflection:

I picked design two over design one because design 2 has a lot more detail and effort in it. Design 2 has a better attraction as I used a 3D object and stuck it on my cover page. For design 2, the storage devices I used were a DVD and a Blu-Ray Player. I picked the Blu-ray Player because it seemed interesting and I wanted to know more about what it does. The DVD was a choice however it isn’t a very “different” storage device to what others would pick as it’s a popular storage device.

Ideas:
- Night vision googles
- Light up skirt and crown
-Wall-E
-Moving skateboard

Researched Idea:
- Tutu LED light up skirt with a light up flower crown.

Paragraph on article:
- The product or software developed item we're using is ''LED Lights". To make the LED lights work we must put batteries into the LED Lights and switch it on. LED stands for ''Light Emitting Diode" and is invented by Oleg Losev, James R. Biard and Nick Holonyak. The LED Lights come in all colors including multi-color. LED's have many advantages over heated light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller size, and faster switching.

Reflection on Research:
I think LED Lights are a great idea for something "tech-y". We decided to use LED Lights as our tech fair idea because we wanted something enjoyable and amusing for show therefore we thought of a light up clothing/accessory. We're going to create a light up skirt with LED Lights and a flower crown as a matching accessory.

Inquiry and Analysis

Statement of Inquiry - Digital Design & Printing as a form of communication and output has evolved through time and space to influence audience's perspective.

My name is Dina Shah, I am 12 years old. I am from Pakistan and born in Sweden. I have been a student at EISM for 10 years. This is my grade 8 design model:

Introduction – I am a student in Emirates International School Meadows and in these two months of ICT we have gone on tinkerCAD to learn more about our main topic “3D printing”. On tinkerCAD we did several of activities and made lots of different 3D designs. The software tinkerCAD lets you design anything you want. We made lots of designs for example Rockets, Boats, Name Tags and lots of more, then we posted them on our blog, which is connected, to our Gmail account and we write a reflection about it followed with the steps of how to create it.

As part of my MYP design I am making a snow globe in 3D. I picked this design because it looks fun to create and I want to learn the steps to this design. I’m really excited to make the design and use my own imagination and put a twist to it in my own way. I’ve researched about snow globes and they look interesting to make. A snow globe is a transparent sphere which is originally made out of glass. You put an image of a view or some memory and then the sphere encloses water in the globe. The water is support for the snow that falls down. To make the snow float around, you have to shake the glass sphere.  The globe is then placed back to its position and the snow falls through the water. Snow globes sometimes also have a music box placed in the sphere so when you shake it then music starts playing. For your own like you can even put a design around the sphere for decoration.

I think this is helpful and I’m creating it because if you don’t want to lose a memory and you want to remember that memory for a long time but you have no wear to keep it you can put it into a snow globe and place it on your bed side table or display it anywhere in your house and the memory is there. If you want the memory to be more “real” then you just shake the snow globe for snow to fall down.

Design Situation:

Nature of a problem to be addressed	Area from which to identify a problem
Snow globes are a very popular decoration that all ages use. It is environmentally healthy, as it has no bad affect.  If it had an environmental affect I wouldn't create it, as my target audience is children.	The snow globe is only dangerous if it breaks. The snow globe is glass so it can break at any time.

 

Aesthetics	There is a metal/wood/glass holder for the snow globe. The globe is glass filled with water and fake snow. There is also a memory placed inside the globe.
Cost	Glass - 10 DHS  Holder of Snow globe - 10 DHS Music Box - 30 DHS Total Cost: 50 DHS
Customer	Target audience: Children Although it is suitable for all ages. Gender: All Socio-Economic: All
Environmental considerations	The snow globe can waste a lot water since all snow globes have to be filled with water.
Function	The snow globe is used for decoration. It's purpose is if you want to frame a memory. It is very easy to use. To make the snow fall, you must shake it.
Manufacturing	To create the design on tinkerCAD it took 30 minutes
Materials	On tinkerCAD I used a thick cylinder and semi-sphere
Safety	If the glass breaks make sure you don't touch it without cleaning it up carefully.
Size	The size can be to your own like
