Break It Apart!

Intro:

For this project we were asked to bring a simple object to school and disassemble it to make observations. We had to research its components, conceptual sketch it, and draw an exploded view of our item in our journals. I brought in a garage door opener.

Content:

Exploded View: A diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram. In this challenge, we used exploded views in our conceptual sketches and to show the parts in an item

Flow Chart: a graphical representation of a computer program in relation to its sequence of functions

Systems: A set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized framework or method. In this challenge, we analyzed systems of function.

Motherboard: a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted.

Reflection:

While doing this project, two things that I think I did well with were managing my time well, and managing my workload as well. I also think I did a better job at keeping up to date with the deadlines for this project. Something that I think I can work on for future projects are collaborating with my table mates, because I know that they can give me good advice for solo projects.
