Vending Machine containing awards to Students Success.

     My teammates and I decided to create a specialized vending machine for schools. Our problem was that students don't put effort to their classes because there is nothing there motivating them. Therefore, we agreed on finding a solution  which would be to build a vending machine for every individual classroom. The vending machine would contain prizes that attract students attention, for example: earphones, full size bag of chips, cokes and etc.
     While working with my group though out this project, I learned the value of actual vending machines and the companies who build them. I also learned how to divide steps for each teammate so it'd be even and fair.
    Therefore, this project was a success and I enjoyed it very much.

GOOGLE'S "DRIVELESS CAR"
      One invention being made by Google is a driveless car. It is exactly what it sounds like. The engineer who came up with this idea is named: Sebastian Thrun. This car he wants to create for all humans will act as a chauffeur for anyone. You will get in the car and it will be able to drive by using some cameras that it includes. These cars have been already constructed for testing. It is said that the car remains at the speed limit and stays at a perfect distance away from other cars. The question is, Is this a good innovation? It has its pros and its cons. For example, this would be perfect for people who are blind or disabled. Although, for normal human beings, this would make us even more lazy than ever before. We would teach ourselves to rely on this technology and forget about doing it by ourselves.

Spaghetti Marshmallow Design Brief

                         Spaghetti Marshmallow Design Brief
In this project we had to design a blueprint of a tower. Our goal was to make the tallest tower compared to the rest of our classmates'. The requirements that we had to follow were: making it tall, it can resist someone blowing on it and shaking it. This seemed easy to me. I first researched on some designs recommended to stand firmly and it was the triangle shape. Therefore, my teammates and I began to brainstorm ideas of towers with the base of a triangle. We finally agreed on one final design which looks like the one in the picture above. Was it a success like the one above as well? No it was not. We concluded that we were putting to much weight to the bottom so it was falling down. After our first attempt, we started back to step one which was to figure out what other design would be a lot more successful.

Imaging Reflection.

Imaging is the Invention I researched on. It is multiple inventions that has helped us see even the smallest things on Earth a lot more bigger. An example is the microscope. With a microscope, we can put a human cell and see all the amazing things inside and outside of it. Also, imaging can be X-rays because it is also a picture take of something we alone could never see with our own eyes.
I believe that the most involved inventions of Imaging were for health, for example, the X-rays which I wrote about and the CAT scan. The CAT scan helps doctor's see patients body or brain. It was mainly created for the brain and spine disorders.
In a few years they might create an even better camera pixel receiver to be able to catch anything way smaller than anything we've even tried to discover.
