So Long 3rd Quarter...

Well, this has been yet ANOTHER successful and exciting quarter. The evaluation was quite great. When we showed Ma'am Pesino our artefact she was really pleased with it especially when we added our Plan A artefact to the mix. It was truly appreciated :D

Now we say so long to the 3rd quarter...
may the next one be a good one.

Evaluation Time!

The Production Plan

Day 17 : Production Plan and Progress Chart


Tools and Equipment



Cutting List

Day 16 : Finishing the Cutting List and Listing Tools and Equipment

That's what we finished on the weekend though (Sorry it's not in full view)

Day 15 : A New Adventure of Production


On the previous post as I said, we had a group plan as to how we're going to assemble in one place on the weekend. And here's how our adventure went... (Andrew cannot come though so it was just Me and Jiela)..

Since Jiela's mom is a Civil Engineer, we had the perfect place to work in. It was full of equipment and materials we actually needed.

We got started on the Stand right away because there were already metal bars at the venue.

Then we realized we were lacking a metal sheet for the Seat. So we went to a Metal Junk Shop to get a durable but not expensive one to get started on it.
Finally, we let one of her mom's workers fold the sheet because we can't, and we finished the artefact mostly. Just the finishing touches and beautifications left.



Even though it was VERY tiring, it was still a one of a kind experience, especially for a project in school. 
And so that was our whole new adventure! ...

Day 14 : Group Plan


We were discussing our plan of going to our groupmate's house (Jiela's) to finish most of our artefact since the deadline's coming up already

Day 13 : Cutting List

Working Drawing


It doesn't look like the sketch in Plan B because we kind of changed the design (the adjustable design) but the concept is still the same and we think it's better and easier this way.

Day 12 : Working Drawing and Start of Cutting the Metal


Brainstorming Design Ideas and Preferred Option

Brainstorming Design Ideas

Preferred Option : 

We would actually like to do both if we can but the chair is more of our priority because our client's problem focuses more on the position while gardening. This artefact would definitely meet more of our clients needs.
 

Day 11 : Planning What Kinds of Metal to Use

We are also testing on how to use them for the artefact. We got different kinds of metals and tried to put them together  to come up with an idea for our chair's design.

Our Investigation (Research)

We like the design of this invention
 because it has several functions (multi-purpose)
 but is a simple design


This one is kind of mainstream but what we 
 like about it is that it's visible that the user
 will be much comfortable when sat on it


The design of this one is likeable because it
 has a lot of space for whatever the user will
 put and pretty accessible



This design may be small but you can see that
 it is very usable for gardening enthusiasts 
 since they need low-levelled and mobile chairs


Day 10 : Investigation (Research) pt. 2


Day 9 : Investigation (Research)




Evaluation Criteria

Day 8 : Brainstorming and Evaluation Criteria


The pictures inside the small circles show the objects we brainstormed on for the adjusting design on our Gardener's Chair.

The first and third photo inside the big circles show that we are brainstorming measurements for the maximum and minimum height of our adjustable chair.

While the second picture inside the big circles show us conceptualizing our Evaluation Criteria.
