Week 5 Reflection ( Jun Rong )

Reflections

I Think that the project have helped me alot to get along with my friends and getting to know each of their likes and dislikes so that I can make sure that i do not so anything that they dislike and make them annoyed.

Contributions

I have contributed ideas and information that I have found in many websites containing relevant topics that are related to our project. Once the final idea of the invention is decided, i will help out in making the product and decorating it to make it look attractive.

Ideas

I am thinking that we can invent a device that can help housewives clean up their house in the shortest amount of time and least effort is required to do the job. The device may be a special type of broom or a dustpan that can pick up dirt quickly and the user does not need to use too much energy to operate the device.

Week 5 Reflection ( Bryan Yeo )

Reflections

I feel that it is very hard to really want to create an invention. You have to consider a lot of things such as how will it help and how to make sure that everyone likes it. Also, if your idea does not work out, you will have to start all over again and all your past efforts will be wasted. Therefore, that is why i say that it is hard to create an invention that everyone likes to do.

Contributions

I contributed many ideas for the group to think which is the best one. After choosing which ideas to use, we can start creating our product and i will try to think of how to improve. Also, i will help out in the invention and try to make sure that people will like it.

Ideas

I am thinking that we can create a machine that will clean up the dirt and mess in our homes whenever he detected any signals such as a cup dropping onto the floor and so on. The machine will then get a broom and sweep the broken cup into the dustbin. Also, it can help out with the house chores when the owner is too tired.

Week 5 Reflection ( Wei Quan)

Contributions



i contributed some materials that the group might be able to use when we are creating the product and also some opinions of mine so that our product can be improved more.



Ideas



i think that we can make sue of the fan when it is spinning, use a generator to get the extra electricity and use it for the things that uses electricity. This way, it will allow people to save some money.
