So ... we may not be doing a solar-powered USB charger but alarm using piezoelectricity effect, pressure and a buzzer. Turning sound( vibrations ) into energy.

We have come out with our group name at last :D
We are the C4 ( C by the power of 4 )


Lesson 2

So... after some brainstorming, we came up with the idea of an iPhone charger using solar-power.
Thats the basic idea. We will try to modify it to make it better.

Reflections for lesson 1

According to Ivan, we still have not decided on a group name. Will get it done at the next IPW period.
Basically, first IPW lesson was merely a introduction and to know our groups.
What I know?
-Group Work is not easy
-Must cooperate to get things done

What I think?
- Do something to do with sports as it interests others

What I want to find out?
- Currently nothing

What I can do?
- Do all our tasks on time
-Work together

Reflection for Lesson 1

Basically, we don't have a group name yet. The same goes for the motto.
Neither do we have an idea.
So ... Things are quite confusing ....

What I Know
  • Thinking of an idea is hard.
  • Working with someone who isn't computer literate is hard
  • We need to complete worksheets before the lesson
What I Think
  • Thinking of something to do with the environment.
  • Still clueless...
What I want to find out
  • Nothing much currently ...
What I can do
  • Find Group name
  • think of a good idea
  • work on the idea
