HELLO 👋  WELCOME back to our blog! ! So this week we were introduced to a new software called, "Fusion 360" . This software will help us to draw and design the different components so that we can visualize better. These drawings can actually be printed out using a 3D printer if needed😲. PRE-LESSON PREPARTION💨 To get familiarized to the software we were given a task to make a keyring  🔑using this software before our actual lesson. We all had our own difficulties at first but after a while of getting used to the components, we could easily find the components during the actual online lesson.💻 Take a look at our own customized keyrings that all of us did individually. 😄👇 Figure 1 : Kalyani's keyring Figure 2 : Jolyn's keyring Figure 3 : Madelaine's keyring Figure 4 : Cui Han's keyring ACTIVITY 1😬 We were tasked to sketch constraints during lesson with the aid of our  lecturer .   It was more difficult than the keyring as it involved sketching more sha

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Kalyani and Friends Week 6😆. In this week’s blog, we will be doing a Product Life Cycle on our product. Our product is Paper Based Fuel📄. Our focus  for activity 1   will be showing you how paper based fuel is made, and used from paper waste. Having a  Product Life Cycle  is a stop to take when coming up with a sustainable design. Some principles of a Sustainable Design includes: Use nontoxic, sustainably produced or recycled materials. Use energy efficient processes Make product last longer Design for reuse and recycling Consider Product Life Cycle Shift from personal ownership to shared ownership Buy from nearby Product Life Cycle has 6 stages🌳, they are: Raw materials Manufacturing Packaging  Distribution Use  Disposal Our Product Life Cycle👀  Mind Map: ACTIVITY 2 :CRADLE TO CRADLE DESIGN📝 1. Nutrients become nutrients again 🌳 The biofuels emit carbon dioxide into the air. Hence this carbon dioxide is used up by the plants which will convert i
