Daniel+-+Technology

Hi. My name is Daniel and I will be designing an enrichment toy for my animal - the brown kiwi. I will be sharing the design process that should be followed when creating something that is technological.

The first part of the design process is

The PROBLEM ( this is where I will be telling you about what problems the kiwi will have or cause when taken from its natural environment and put into captivity).

The problem is that people go to see the kiwi but its day and kiwis are nocturnal.

What is a SOLUTION? What do you think you create or change to fix the problem.

I want to create to two machines that will help the kiwi and our public what I am going to do is build a sensor that when people come into its habbitat it will turn on the special effect light to make it like night time so the kiwis will come out.

second thing i am going to build is another type of sencor that will tell if it night or day. When its day it will have day light come in and when its night it will simply show night

so when people come to the kiwi the light go night =) yay

//4/11 - Daniel you have made a good start to your design brief, explaining what the problem is and identifying a solution for this. You now need to come up with a prediction about how you think this will solve the problem - ensure you are being specific. You also need to check your spelling on this page. I have underlined and bolded the text that needs changing. I look forward to reading your page again soon, with the corrections made - Mrs B //

My prediction is that when people come into the kiwis room then it will turn the night effect on and when they leave when its day the two door roof will open also when its at night i will open so it has the real affect as night
