Week 4 - Journal
Ideation
Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What inspired you? (Please include images or links to sources of inspiration)
It's a kit that teaches kids about shapes.I searched for it on Google and found it, but the virgin I found was saying the name of the shape, in my prototype when the proper shape fit the empaty space, the buzzer made a sound and the bulb lit up. the aim of the kit is to help kids from 3 to 5 years to know about shapes when the right shape insert to the right place a led lights and the buzzer make sound.
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Before I applied the circuit physically, I used Tinkercad to simulate the circuit and acquire recommendations. used tinkercad
the materials
breadbord
buzzer
Red led
resistor
push-button
crocodile
9 v adapter
male-male wire
on-off switch
potentiometer
cardboard
glue gun
tape
Design/Preparation Process
Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?

First and foremost, my concept necessitates the simultaneous operation of a buzzer and a led, requiring the circuit to be connected in parallel. It also necessitates the use of a bush button, which will be connected in series.
Then I started simulating the circuit in Tinkercad by connecting it in parallel and the push button in series.
after that prototyped the circuit on breadboard and troubleshooted it
Dc motor 9 v, resistant 220 ohm ,piezoelectric buzzer is recommended to be above 9V to obtain a larger sound,A red LED typically drops around 1.7 to 2.0 volts
The final stage was to create a cardboard body.
the circuit connection is parallel between all parts except the on\off switch its series.
Development/Implementation Process
Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?
I simulated the kit in Tankercad, then went to the toolbox to look for the component I required and googled voltages before starting to build components in a breadboard. After finishing the circuit and troubleshooting it, I moved on to designing the kit's body. all the circuit connection s are parallel except the on-off switch is series

Community of Learning
Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?
I told Abdelrahman and Mahmoud about my idea, and they told me about various changes I could make to the shape of the design, as well as how to move the pushbutton to make the function work better.
Overcoming Challenges
When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?
The led did not light during the process, and I was confident that I had connected the circuit correctly, so I used the potentiometer and discovered that one of the male male wires was not working.
I faced a difficulty with the push button not working and asked for help, only to discover that I had connected it in parallel rather than series.
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
Developing the final project idea and implementations will be greatly aided by creating an electric circuit.
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
