Electronics Technology

In technology this term we have been making Emergency Lights. For the front of our Emergency Light we had to choose a disney character to go on the front of our light. As I love cats so much, I chose to do Cheshire Cat. After that, we had to choose three key attributes for making our light. Mine were Parallel Circuit, Bright Lights and Portable. We then had to write why and how the key attributes help when making the light. After that we started making it. We had to drill holes where we wanted our LEDs to be. Then, we had to start making our parallel circuit with the LEDs.
*Many Soldering Burns Later*
After we finished making the circuit with the soldering iron, we needed to connect the 9 volt battery to the circuit. Soon enough, my Emergency Light started working.
Electronics Technology was really fun and I really liked making the Emergency Light, though next time I won't put the LEDs so close to the edge.

Electronics

Conceptual Statement: I am going to design and make an emergency light. I will be able to have it in my bedroom ready for when the power goes out.

Materials Technology - USB Stick

In Hard Technology this term we were making USB Sticks. I decided to make one for myself and do it in the shape of a cat and base it off my own cat. This is the process I went through in designing my USB Drive.

Materials Technology - Key Tags

In Hard Technology this term we were making Key Tags for a person of our choice. I decided to make one for my mum and do it in the shape of an owl as it is one of her favourite animals. This is the process I went through in designing my Key Tag.
