  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING our construction steps so that we can follow to prepare and produce our final outcome of making a sound amplifier case

    Kia ora
    In this week we will continue our design process to make the actual sound amplifier case for a mobile phone. We will continue learning about the construction steps of measuring, marking and cutting, Joining parts and then finishing by painting or varneshing

    We will be learning to:

    • Work through the design process to make a portable sound amplifier case 
    • Come up with design ideas, develop some concept sketches
    • Write a personal design brief
    • Create working drawings for our project
    • construct a model - prototype of our designs
    • Start working on the actual product
    • Construct the sound amplifier case.

    Success Criteria: I have:

    •  designed and made a portable sound amplifier case for my phone using the design process 
    • developped some concept sketches based on the design ideas
    • Writen a personal design brief
    • create a working drawing showing all measurements 
    • create a model- prototype of my design
    • measured, marked and cut my wood material
    • nailed the parts together and drilled holes for the wires

    Activities:

    • Create a mood board. Annotate likes and dislikes. Make links on the board to your project needs. Write a conclusive statement about what my project outcome needs to be able to do and be. Develop a design brief.
    • Draw a concept sketch and develop.fully into working drawings, giving details and measurements
    • Create a model-prototype
    • Develop a Materials/Shopping list
    • Start measuring, marking and cutting
    • Connect the woooden pieces together by nailing 
    • Drill holes for the speskers, power and sound cable
