Prep Reflection 30th October

1. What went well today for you and your team?  Think about your teamwork, and your group’s product idea.

We made a lot of progress. We worked well together working as a team. We ended making one of our product and halfway through the second one. Because we were planned today then we were last week. We listened to each others ideas as well. The photo below is one of our final products.

2. What was difficult?  Why do you think that was? The shiving part after drilling the holes was difficult. Because since the wood was soft it could not cut the wood cleanly so we had to use a shiv to make it cleaner.

3. What are three new business terms you learnt today? You have to have a prototype before you start your final product. Need to have everything planned. Work as a team not just standing around a person doing everything.

1. What do you need to work on in preparation for the PREP lessons next week? Try to work better with people in our group doing different jobs.

Plan Friday 30th October

 Plan: We need to get started on making our product in the woodwork room. We will make a prototype out of scrap so we have an idea of what to do with our actual resources. Driftwood Candle Holder | DIY Candle Project | DIY with Caitlin This video demonstrates how to do it. We will need a drill to drill some holes in the driftwood that a capable of holding a tea light in them and a sanding machine. We also have to measure the height and width  of the tealights before we drill the holes in the driftwood. We will need a ruler and pencil to mark the measurements and write them down.

 Reflection Questions:

1. What went well today for you and your team?  Think about your teamwork, and your group’s product idea.

We have made a plan about getting our resources and when we are going to do them. So we can start making our product.

We worked really well today getting a lot done. We listened to each other's ideas and contributed our ideas. We started making a prototype and figuring out big our holes need to be. We also ended up changing what were doing , now it is driftwood tea light candle holders.

2. What was difficult?  Why do you think that was?  

Figuring out the costs and our plan on when we are going to get our resources. Because it has to be easy for us and we should not spend too much money on resources. Finding out the measurements of how big the tea lights are and that stuff.

3. What are three new business terms you learnt today?

You need to be well prepared and have a plan on what you are actually doing. Figuring out the costs of your resources so you can make a profit from your product. Reflecting on what went well and what did not.

1. What do you need to work on in preparation for the PREP lessons next week? I need to have a plan on what I am doing and start making my product. We can work a bit more efficiently so we can get most of our product done next week.

Plan for Prep 23th October

 On Sunday Me , Raman and  Gagan will go to Waikanae beach to collect the driftwood to make our hangers.  My dad will probably take me their and Raman and Gagan will bike their and will meet up their 2:00 in the afternoon at the front of the beach. We will collect maybe like 10 pieces of driftwood and we will need tea lights which we will probably have to buy . But most of our costs are free. Because to add the driftwood sticks into the driftwood , we will use a hot glue to stick it in their. So we make total profit. Then on Friday we will bring our driftwood in like a bag or something and then start making our driftwood hangers the friday in that week. We are going to glue our logo onto the driftwood under the hooks after we have finished making them. Our resources are sustainable because we are not cutting wood out of actual trees which depletes natural resources. That is not being sustainable.  So using driftwood is a good idea.
