Here is my 25 Project ideas:

Above is a video of all our parts and a picture of what the computer looked like before we tore it all apart
For my 8th Project me, Mady, and Austin decided to try our take on reverse engineering, we took apart a computer and created a video to identify the parts, the best we could. Alright in the video we created above there were 5 computer parts that we were able to identify. One of the parts is a Computer fan this fan works by removing the heat that builds up around the computer processor. This ensures the temperature around the CPU is stable. We don't have a picture of the CPU but to better explain the fan I decided to find out what it is, and what it does. First let's explain what CPU means, the whole thing stands for central processing unit, or the central processor. The CPU is the brain of the computer, this part is where most calculations take place. Now One of the most important parts of the computer is the motherboard. The mother board is kinda like the spine of the computer, it's the link between all the different components inside the computer. The mother board allows the CPU, RAM, and all other computer hardware components to communicate with each other. Another part we weren't able to identify was the RAM, but to better explain the motherboard I decided to include it. RAM stands for random access memory, this is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly. The Video card connects to the motherboard of the computer system, this generates output images to display. They also include a processing unit, memory and a cooling mechanism. The final computer part we identified is the DVD player, DVD stands for digital versatile disc. This disc is capable of storing a great amount of data then a standard compact disc. Widely used for storing and viewing movies and other data. During this project I learned what these 5 parts of a computer are called and what they do, I also learned the different names of screwdrivers so my partners wouldn't yell at me. The 7 standards that my project ties to is Creative Communicator because in our project we used actual tools to take apart the computer and we also used digital media to make a video of all our parts, and to figure out what the parts do. A challenge I overcame on this project was identifying the computer parts. This was difficult because some of the parts look really similar and it was hard to tell if the parts matched the photo description. I overcame this by really examine the photo and matching the parts to the best of my ability. If I would do this project again I would want to learn more information on the parts like where they're placed in the computer. I also would want to experiment more with the motherboard we didn't get to investigate that as much as I wanted. I would want to do this because I like knowing what makes up the computer and how they control the computer. This project connects to careers in engineering and mechanics. This connects to engineering because you have to know what other designs are to make yours even better. This connects to mechanics because if you're a mechanic you have to know how to take the parts out and apart and be able to put them back in the correct spot.
