Week 5 - 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)
Fire Alarm
I thought about a simple project I can do the first thing pop up in my head was ambulance alarm but I should make the light go right and left, so I thought about any device around us and It is simple and I came up with the fire alarm.
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Cardboard
Because It is easy to use or change the design.
Tinker CAD
It is a very helpful software, helps to do mistakes without real damage.
The components I used small breadboard to fit it the box, lamb, jumper wires, buzzer, and adapter.
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?
After that, I complete the circuit with the button and started simulation to check that everything is okay.
Open Tinker CAD start to do my circuit step by step and try it after adding any component to check if I do it in the right way or I need to fix it.

Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?
Second, I make sure that all components work together, and there is nothing wrong with the circuit.
I put all components into the shape and close it.

board, a glass of water, and I started to make the shape and wire the components together.
Finally, I conduct electricity by the adapter5V and it works.
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?
In the EO week session, I had a problem with the H bridge circuit, it confused me, Eng: Ahmed discuss the concept with us, ask Eman to explain it on the board.
In The assignment, I asked Sharkawy about how can I make the shape of the ambulance alarm and he advised me to do something else because I need to make the light goes left and right.
So I choose the fire alarm.
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?
When I using tinker to do the circuit, it confused me so I make the button in the real.
I understand what the mistake, and I back to Tinker CAD and make it right.
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
Using Tinker CAD I think will be very helpful for my final project, because in my final project definitely, I will make some circuits, using some electronic components to gather them and make the project.
Tinker CAD will make me try to do what I am thinking about without damaging any components in real.
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
Title of Media
Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]
Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.
