Work Progress: 7th August 2011; Two weeks from Projects Day Finals

Date: 7th August 2011

No.
Discussed
1
Web report
·       Completed on www.wix.com and sent to IS teacher who has agreed to help us convert to html file
2
New Prototype
·       Akira has made a new prototype made of acrylic which is very strong and sturdy. It is also transparent.
·       We have decided to install our add-ons to it and present it in the Finals

3
Water sensor
·       We have bought 1 water sensor for $3, some batteries, battery connector and a box for a total of $7.20
·        The water sensor is installed in the second prototype and it works well

4.
Rims
·       Have came out with a few rims for various sizes of plant pot
·       We will be creating more rims so as to ensure that PlantPlat can be used for all sorts of plant pots
5.
Customizable skin
·       We have created a few designs of skins which can be easily fixed on the prototype and also can be removed easily
·       Different patterns and designs of skins has been created
E.g. Nature background, flowers etc.
6.
Finals presentation
·       As this is the Projects Day Finals and most probably the last chance we are going to present and promote the PlantPlat, we decided to think of a unique and different style of presenting our Prototype
·       The discussion is still ongoing

       On completing our Web Report, we felt that we are very much closer to success and completion of our project. Of course, there are still some work to do such as creating more rims, designing the customizable skins and most importantly preparing for our Finals presentation. We look forward and anticipate the Projects Day Finals, which is like…about two weeks from now. Tsk…Tsk. We are making ourselves nervous. Nevertheless, we shall work hard and hopefully, if we have a chance, we may enter the Projects Day Grand-Finals.
