During the length of the product creation and the presentation the action plan, dates were amended due to the lack of confirmation or due to the covid-19 restrictions. This also affected some task because of time constraints. The action plan excluded meetings with my supervisor, since they changed a lot due to our conflicting timelines. Please see Appendix A for the Action plan. I used the process journal to record the entire project. I chose specific timelines and dates of urgency, based on priority. I had kept a checklist, given by the IB, to identify the content in the report. The most important task I had chosen, was the report writing and the task creation. Next was the evidence planning and the supervisor meetings.
CRITERIA TABLE
The Personal project have criteria, which must be correctly graded. It must show the product in full motion and how the real example would work. Please see Appendix B for the Criteria table. The criteria strands used in my personal project would be shown in the criteria table on aesthetics, content, functionality, and the target audience.
JOURNAL
The Planning of the Product During this week I started on the planning of my model. Drawing designs on what it would looking and what features it would have. I have been using this secondary source '5dPlanner' and creation source to design your perfect house. I spent the first two days learning the features of the app and websites. I created a few started designs. The major difficulties faced during this week were that the app was quite slow when in progress taking at least a few seconds to load the second I made a change. The app was a learning experience to enhance my knowledge on architecture. Therefore, I have no regrets using this app. I had also tried my best to make the mode on the app match with the model I drew which was quite hard, but I liked the product.
Creation of the OPVL analysis I look back at the progress made threw the personal project, I looked at the most valuable resources I used. This was the survey and the interview that I conducted. Then I decide the source most used (business textbook). Then I used the OPVL resource given by the IB to complete the task.
Creating the circuits for the solar panels Designing and the creating of the circuits for the solar panels. When designing the circuits, a lot of research was a need because I had never created a circuit. I had done smaller circuits in physics and digital design but there was a more complicated circuit which contained more complex capacitors, transistors and batteries. When creating the circuit, I needed to be careful when gluing the wires and the batteries together. After these, I achieved my goal of creating 4 different solar panels and a battery generator.
