Akshansh and Nicolai and Ahmed presented their project first, they had
presented a project that is a robot named Storm KI3N, which stands for
Akshansh's last name, Ahmed's last name, the fact that there is 3 of them.
Nicolai's first name as if they put the last name, It would have not sounded as
nice. Their project was very interesting and visually appealing. I liked how
they explained everything on their project and how they made it. The feedback I
want to give them is that I loved their project it was very entertaining and i
hope they keep up with the amazing work. I believe that since only 4 of us can
be in the Tech Fair, I know that they have to be one of those four as their
project was extremely entertaining and is the best project of all.
Karim. R was the second presentation. He presented a game that he made on software. His project was fun and entertaining. I liked how he had some of us come and play the game; he even had Arthur (a boy in the class) make a game himself. The feedback I want to give him is that his presentation was spectacular and his project was lovely but, during the presentation he should have faced the audience more and maybe explain the project a little bit clearer, other than that it was a fascinating presentation. I think that Karim should be allowed into the Tech Fair, as it is obvious that he worked very hard on his project and is passionate about it.
The third group to present their project was Ashkan and Arthur they made a pinball machine, they have used complicated technology and Lego to make this pinball machine. During their presentation they chose one person to play the pinball machine. Mindstorm is the program they used to give the machine ‘’brain sensors’’. The only feedback I would like to give them is that they should explain the project in a simpler manner as to allow younger and possibly older students to understand. I believe that they can make the project but that is only if I see the other project and theirs surpass all of the ones I see later as I have not seen all of the projects yet.

The next group, after my group and I, was Ananya and Riya. They have
made a Lego Robot called BBH, it is a kit and in it there are mechanical parts and the
programming software to control the robot. For the Robot they bought the parts
and assembled it, than they downloaded software that allows them to control the
robot. You can ask the robot a yes or no question and it will answer using the
app. I believe that the project is visually appealing but I do not think they
should be in the Tech Fair as they just bought the parts and put it together
and they just downloaded the app. There was no actual programming involved on
their part.
The fifth person was Anishka, her project was The Handy
Electronic Mop. It is used to clean everything you can’t reach; you can also
use it to find things you lost. As it can search under your bed, if you need to
find something you’ve lost. You will need to charge it according to the amount
of time you shall use it afterwards, like if you want to use it for a long time
you will need to charge it for around 7-8 hours. The feedback I would like to
give her is that her presentation skills were not the best. She was too quiet
and she didn't face the audience. Also, she did not work hard on her project, though it is good for a first time. I do not believe it is that Technical and she could have done a lot better. I do not think she should be in the Tech Fair
as her project is not very interesting and it wouldn't impress younger children
and males, though perhaps it would impress females. The Tech Fair has a wide
range of audiences of all shapes and sizes. In conclusion, she worked hard on
her project and deserves a high mark, but I, personally, do not vote for her to
go to the Tech Fair.
The sixth group was Mohammed Khaled and Khaled. There was
also supposed to be Mati, but he was absent. Their game was called Big Ship
Defender. The program they used to make the game was Game Salad. Kids are
allowed to play this game as it is non-violent. They had chosen two players,
Monica and Karim, to play the game and see if its fun. The feedback I have for
them is that although their presentation skills were good. They had no Pros and
Cons, which was required in the criterion that was given to all students.
Though they had made a good game, Kairm (The second person to present) had also
made a game. I do not believe that two people that made the same thing and are
in the same class should be allowed in the Tech Fair. In my opinion Karim’s
game was more fun and better and he was more passionate about his game. In
conclusion, I do not believe they should be in the Tech Fair.
The seventh person to present was Adam O'Neil. He made a
website called Save a Panda by Adam O'Neil. His URL was
adamthedragon21.wix.com/save a panda. He used wix.com to make the website. The
reason he chose to do this project is because he loves Panda's ad Bears in
general. He searched things to do with Panda's like what their diet was. Their
average size and the habitat's they live in. The feedback I have for him is
that, at the beginning of the presentation he was slightly quiet and seemed
shy. He should be more confident of his project and himself. Also I feel like
his project didn't require much building or work on his part. He should have chosen
something that people can touch and hold in their hands or something they can
listen to or play with, when their bored. So, although his project does count
as technical, I don't think its Technical enough. Also he didn't put a
reference page, which is plagiarism. There is not enough information to count
it as a professional website. I do not believe that Adam should be in the Tech
Fair as, if we are only allowed four people by each class, there are other
students in this class that have done a slightly better job. But at least he
tried to do a project even after he failed the first one. So in conclusion,
although he tried hard, he should not be in the Tech Fair.
The eighth group to present was Jana and Christa. Their
project was a Robotics Car. The engine is connected to a remote control which
allows it to move forwards, backwards, left and right. The robotics car has a
slight amount of technology involved. The feedback I would like to give them is
that they were promoting their project to be a lot better than it actually is.
They did not work hard on their project and we do not even know if they did it
as they did not bring it. So there is no proof that they actually did it. I
think that they should not be allowed into the Tech Fair as they did not work
that hard, their project is easy, their project already exist and can be bought
at the mall. Their blogs were not complete and their power point contained
information that can be thought of by anyone and nothing makes their project
special. So in conclusion, they should not be allowed into the Tech Fair.
The next group to present was Imaan and Harang. Their
project was Stop Motion Animation. Stop Motion Animation is animation that it
when, let’s say, you take a picture and there are things that are not moving,
you may make them move. To make a stop motion animation you must have clay or a
drawing. There are two software’s you can use,’ Stop Motion Animator’ or ‘Monkey
Jam’. They used Stop Motion Animation. They had done ‘Stop Motion Animator’ as ‘Monkey
Jam’ is a little more complicated. It takes a long process to edit the picture
and might not go out as planned. The feedback I would like to give them is that
the project itself is acceptable, though they were slightly quite when
presenting their project so they could improve their presentational skills. Their
project was complicated in a sense and very unique, but not as great as others
in the class. In conclusion, I believe that although they did an acceptable
project they should not be allowed into the Tech Fair.
The tenth group to present was Davide and Satchit. Their project was Firefly Night Lights. These
are lights that are shaped like fireflies using LED lights. The can be used for reading a book in the
dark. They are very easy to make as they do not involve pen. You will need eight
materials to make this project. The only Con is that the project is not a
strong light. The feedback I would like
to give them is that their presentational skills were substantial, but the
project itself is not the most adequate. I believe that they could have worked a
lot harder as they are smart students, and perhaps could have been a little
more creative. In conclusion, I do not believe Satchit and Davide should be
allowed into the Tech Fair.
