**//Kia-Ora my name is Sarah/Sehzy, I am going to be designing an enrichment toy for my animal the black-footed cat,//** **// I will be sharing the design process that should be followed when creating something that is technological.

BLACK-FOOTED CAT

Last Term we all got given three animals to reseach and find lots of information about them, we had to first plan our itinarary find out where all our animals live and see where we should fly next after that we booked our flights and flew out of New Zealand on Saturday to hunt for our three en-dangered animals. While we were there we found out alot about the animals and also the countries they live in!!! So now what we are doing is we have to choose an animal out of the three and since we know quite alot about it and what it does in it's natural environment we have to design an enrichment toy for it. Also all of Room 17 has to come up with a SUCCESS CRITERIA and WALT for designing and creating an enrichment toy, so the steps of what we have to do first........ SO HERE ARE SOME IDEAS :) //**

Success Criteria: __ -brain storm -Title. //** **//-name of your enrichment toy. -sketch your toy start desinging -labels of different part and places also what it does or can do. -The problem and how it could affect the user. -size of my toy. -How to use it. -imagine the materials and equipment might be needed to make my toy. -solutions for my problem -also a summary.  //**

The problem for the black-footed cat is that it has been taken from it's natural environment into captivity, where it is not doing what it would do if it were in the wild, the black-footed cat has changed the way it lives and eats! Instead of the black-footed cat hunting down it's prey/food and catching it instead he/she gets given it's food which is quite unusual for it. //**  4/11 - well done Sarah! You have listed the steps that will allow you to create a very successful design brief. It might help you to put this in the correct order to ensure that you are completing each stage. Your problem is also very clear - I now look forward to viewing your solution. Mrs Bardebes!
 * //__Problem:__

**//__ solution: __ I have come up with a solution, this will help the animal by getting used to it's natural habitat. I will create an enrichment toy for the black-footed cat, it will envolve cotrolling it. It is an remote control piece of wool which the black-footed cat will be amused. :) :] :[//**
