Semester 2 - The Elderly Challenge

Q1 ) I have learnt that one of the most important things when working on projects such as creating prototypes is communication. You should not hesitate to ask anyone for help but you should also go to the teacher first to tell her about the problems you are facing to see if she can help you. I also learnt that collaboration is important as during brainstorming, we will be able to come up with many more ideas and maybe get a really good idea from one of our group mates.

Q2 ) One of the difficulties I encountered was that on the day before the submission of the prototype, my product was working fine, with a detection range of about 1 metre ahead. However, when I went to school the next day, my product could only detect from a very short range, not more than half a metre in fact. I then asked some of my friends to help, some of which made a few things come out from the sensor, namely, the item to turn to adjust the delay timer of my sensor. At one point, my sensor could not even detect anything.

Q3 ) However, during ADMT class, I finally managed to finish my product and help it to function with the help of my teacher. Some of my friends also managed to help me get a little further with my model.
