Conclusion

my final choice is to make a 3-d model accompanied with a video showing exactly how the computer transmits messages and the different parts of a computer, even though this task will be qite challenging i feel i will be able to produce a higher standard of work to if i were to make an online game. My reasoning behind this is with the game many different softwares have to be tried ot and to start with i do not really understang programming and stuff.

Materials and Softwares


3-D model:

-video camera
-computer
-movie maker/imovie (movie making software) (?)
-any recyclable materials e.g. boxes, cartons, cans etc
-colors,paints, play dough etc
-labeled diagram of the computer to follow of


game-


-computer
-game making software

Advantages and Disadvantages of my ideas


3-d model:
 advantages- no software required
                    simple, hands-on projects
                    very good for a group, provides jobs for 2+ people
                    very interesting, looks good

disadvantages- easy to mess up
                        must be creative
                        may come across as boring
                        takes lots of time


Online Game:
 advantages- very cool
                    if done well everyone will like it
                    all computer work, no materials needed
                    simple, if you have the correct software

 disadvantages- confusing for a beginner
                         software costs money
                         no real work that you can feel just on computer
                         hard

Tech Fair Thoughts

For the tech fair this year I came up with two different ideas, one was to create a detailed 3-D model of a computer, showing the different parts (inside and outside) and perhaps make a video to go along with the model. My second idea was to create an online game.
