Due to covid 19 we are starting our first year of high school virtually from our home. Our engineering teacher Miss White gave us a kit of materials so we can do our first couple projects.

TINY BLACK POWER PEDESTAL
TINY BLACK POWER PEDESTAL
A man by the name of George Floyd was killed by a police officer. The injustice that the police officer showed said that he thinks he is above the law but he is not. After his death us as a nation got up and protest the racial injustice and show that black lives matter. So out teacher gave us an assignment that showed that they support the movement.

Working code of Neopixel
Working code of Neopixel
// A basic everyday NeoPixel strip test program.
// NEOPIXEL BEST PRACTICES for most reliable operation:
// - Add 1000 uF CAPACITOR between NeoPixel strip's + and - connections.
// - MINIMIZE WIRING LENGTH between microcontroller board and first pixel.
// - NeoPixel strip's DATA-IN should pass through a 300-500 OHM RESISTOR.
// - AVOID connecting NeoPixels on a LIVE CIRCUIT. If you must, ALWAYS
// connect GROUND (-) first, then +, then data.
// - When using a 3.3V microcontroller with a 5V-powered NeoPixel strip,
// a LOGIC-LEVEL CONVERTER on the data line is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
// (Skipping these may work OK on your workbench but can fail in the field)

Nelson Mandela ,At the time of his childhood white population was growing and oppression was on the rise. Nelson Mandela grew up like any other young, South African black boy in an environment of poverty and oppression. Mandela knew if someone did not do something it was going to become worse, so he took it upon himself to advocate for South African black people’s rights. During his years at the University College of Fort Hare and the University of South Africa, where he studied law, he became even more aware of the injustices committed in the name of apartheid. In 1944, Mandela joined the National African Congress and became an outspoken, activist against the laws of apartheid

Summative Assessment
Summative Assessment
Brief
The grief is the instructions you get on the project. It is basically all the restraints and everything you need to get a perfect grade on the project
The constraints for the game controller was that we needed to next link controller that was completely our idea not still missing anything off of the internet is supposed to have a design color and for working buttons
Research
The research for the desktop organizer is to research other desktop organizers on Google to find out what I want to base mine off of it. This means getting a frame for what mine's going to look like but not an exact frame.
I went on Google and I found three pictures of desktop organizers that I liked so paste my desktop organizer off of those pictures.
idea developing
I did developing is Row in different designs and ideas to find the one that you like so you have the perfect design for your project.
For my game controller i had I drew multiple controllers I dew and I had to pick from a hand full of them
3d prototyping
A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process.
For me my prototype is much different than my final project because the Prototype basically pulling out all your ideas and the first design that comes to mind and putting it together. remind my prototype was much more bulky and uncomfortable for the hand.
Evaluation and testing
Revaluate and testing you must test your prototype and gain feedback so you can improve on your final project
For this part I had to make my final product more comfortable giving a design color make it smaller so the hands will fit on it. that is what I had to do for my evaluation testing in my peers gave me information so I can do that.
Product
The final product that is basically after doing a prototype getting your feedback and inflated implementing your feedback is your final design it is where um are you put everything into it all your your feedback and then you make your perfect design.
For my final product I had to add many things I had to make it more comfortable add a design and color and make it easier for my buttons to go in and out of the controller so it won't break. this shows that I put in all of my feedback from my peers to from my instructor to make the best game controller I could make.
Refection
The project I found most challenging was the game controller. I found it challenging because it was hard for me to get the wiring at first and it put me behind so I can because I had to learn it later but the easy part was making the design of my actual controller at cells and making it accessible
The one thing I liked about engineering is that it was never a boring moment we always had something to do and it was always a fun or easier project
Normally I would have constructive criticism for this class but you were put in a hard position because we were having pandemic and it was harder for us to complete stuff when you're not in class so in my opinion you did the best you could with the circumstances you have
