Snap circuits

Using snap circuits, I created a fan and light because it was a easy and quick project to do to get over and done with. Me and Shiloh also wanted to do it because all of are projects have been crafty and not really technology stuff. It was nice to try a different type of styles of things in Innovation and design. Doing the fan and light was actually harder than it seemed it was going to be.

During this process, I learned how to create a fan and light out of snap circuits. We also tried many different things. Such as a alarm, music box, and game noise. I enjoyed learning about it of what to connect and what not to connect to make it work.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Empowered Learner. I chose Empowered learner because I create a personal goal about learning. And the use of technology to achieve the goal.

A challenge I overcame on this project was making sure the circuits were in the right place. Or using the right ones. I was able to do it by checking my work. Also by studying the picture before doing the project.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the project to be the fan can always run. But the light can turn on and off will the fan still goes. Like in a house. The reason why I would change it is because the project we did was quick and easy. I would of liked it to be harder to do.
