a. About a week ago my science nine class got to have a facetime call with Ted Mepham. Ted mephan is a man with huntigtons deseise, this deisese is a brain disorder that makes it difficult for someone to communicate, do most movements and limits many other things that a lot of us take for granted. Nicola Lodge, tims daughter was also present during the call. She helped tim communicate with us.

b. I think what interested me most was that tim for the most part is just a normal guy. He was super funny and kind. A lot of time we would directly ask him questions about his huntigtons deseise and he would act as if he didn’t have it or didn’t know what it was and just answer the question normally. I also loved being able to see his amazing art.

c. I felt super relieved after the call. I felt this way because I was expecting something way worse from tim. Tim had so much more movement and communication than I thought he would. I think if we met tim in real life I would be able to understand him very easily. Im glad that he is healthy and happy.

a. When I was in class I was thinking about what could help tim in his daily life. Nicola brought up that tims main troubles everyday are getting up from the couch and using a normal remote. We were thinking about how we could make something simple that could help him. The one about standing up from the couch is a little complicated to make. However the one about the remote can be a simple fix. If we just make a few simple buttons it will make his life a whole lot easier.

b. As I said the remote is probably the one that I will persue. If we just make two to three buttons for volume, changing the channels and turning the tv on and off. This remote can make tims tv time easy and simple.

c. I think for the most part my peers and I can design and put together the remote. The only part that I would need help with is making it with the 3D printer. We would need to have a teacher help with that. Also maybe someone to help us figure out how to connect it to the tv.

a. There was lots of other different type of simple remotes on amazon and google. Most of  them are a little bit more complicated than I would like but for the most part its good.

b. I would definiatly need to learn a little bit more about the technology in remotes and how it corresponds with the tvs.

c. I would need the 3D printer and whatever materiel is used to make the product. Probably a few wires and such but for the most part its pretty simple.

My steps:

1. know my team and whos working on what.
2. Mak eour plan and know how and when to do what
3. Get our materiels
4. Make it
5. Test it out
6. Finally give it to tim\

a. my solution fluency process went well, I am happy with the results.

b.I think the quality of my post is moderate, I think if I was there for the full lesson I would’ve done well.

c. I could’ve improved on my research on the remote. I could’ve learned more and worked a little harder to find the technology.
