Last month marked the start of Innovation Day, where the entire school took part in a month-long project. Each grade was given a different assignment to work on, and grade 6 was given electricity. The objective was to create a PowerPoint about electricity and circuits. After the slide that we made we made a game using wires, batteries, buzzers, and lights. Wires, batteries, buzzers, and lights were used to make a variety of inventive games. People made something called “don’t touch the wire”, basketball, soccer, pinball, etc. My partner and I decided to make pinball.
My mind was blown when we first received this assignment since we got to construct electrical circuits and games. It was a bit of a time crunch for us, and if I were to do this process again, I would make several changes. As a result of our poor time management, my partner and I realized that we needed to work smarter, not harder. Following that discussion, Joel and I worked much more efficiently to complete the job and receive an excellent outcome. I’ll apply what I’ve learned from this project to my other projects so that I can be more organized when it comes to planning.
Here is a video of our project:
