Pro Desktop Term 2

Today in DT, Mr Ward introduced us a little bit into Pro Desktop. It is a program that also is called CAD (Computer Aided Design). It was very interesting even though we did study this topic last year, I did enjoy it a lot. Therefore I am looking forward to my next lesson. Hopefully next lesson, we will actually be able to go on the computer and work on it and hopefully design something really cool.

Oral Presentaitions

Today, many people presented their oral presentation of their resort. Meyer partner Mackenzie and I did as well. I thought overall our presentation was good. However I particularly liked Shae and Rosy's presentation as their actual resort was very beautiful, and I loved their mountain and trees as it look very real. I also liked Bridget and Ally's presentation as they were very good at their oral and presented their resort very well.

DT (final day of resort)

Yesterday my partner and I had a very productive day. We made the huts for the resort and we also made the water tanks. It eventually looked really good. To make the water tanks, we used epoxy putty and shaped it into the shape we wanted. Then we cut out the shape of the huts and we then cut them all out and glued them together we then painted the walls of the huts brown so it would look like real huts made of bamboo. It actually looked real. Then we were finished with our design of our resort.

On Monday in DT, my partner and I had a very productive day with our resort. We made the wind turbines that power the resort and we also made the bridge for the resort. To make the wind turbines we got a long thin stick of wood and measured it down to size of the pole the turbine would be and we made two of these. We then got a 'fan' and glue it onto the stick. Then we glued them both on either side of the pool at the top of the mountain. It eventually looked really good. To make the bridge, we used Popsicle sticks and then cut them down to size and made them into the walking platforms and then we used thin wooden sticks to make the for poles holding the bridge up. Then we cut them down to size and glued it together. Overall it looked very well.

For the past few days, Mackenzie and I have been really productive with our resort. We finally received the grass we wanted from MacKenzie's family which was great. We then cut the grass to fit the size of land so it would look real. Once we cut it out which was actually really difficult, we then glued the grass on with the hot glue gun. It looked great after.

For the past few days, my partner and have made a lot of progress on our resort. We painted the mountain greenish brown. This makes the mountain look more like a real mountain. When we were mixing though, it took a while to get the right colour to make it look like a real mountain. But in the end it looks really good. We then painted it on the mountain and we then decided to also paint it on the land just so if the grass missed a few bits, it would still look good. In the end it worked out really well.
