8P9- Reverse Engineering

Using screwdrivers, an old laptop, and iMovie, I made a video on the parts of a laptop because I wanted to do reverse engineering and take apart something, so I decided to make a video on the taken apart the laptop and about the parts in it.

During this process, I learned what all the parts inside a laptop are. I learned this by asking my teammate and looking up some of the parts. Learning this made it easier to make the video on the parts.

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 knowledge constructer because I gained/constructed knowledge on laptops and how they work based on the parts inside of them.

A challenge I overcame on this project was not knowing where all the screws in the laptop were. I was able to find it by searching for them and lifting up different things.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the way our video was. The reason why I would change it is I would make the voice-over flow more, and I would also make it go slower to have extra time to explain the parts' job.
