Introduction
My name is Riccardo Borghesi; I am
a student at Emirates International School Meadows. I am in Year 8C; I have
created this Blogger as part of my MYP Design folder for this year. I have done
MYP Design before, last year in Year 7C, and that was my first year in the
Secondary School, doing the MYP Curriculum. In MYP Design I have to make sure
that I am a good designer, last year, in Term 1, we did the characteristics of advertisements;
in Term 2 I worked with Evrard to make a tech fair project, we came in third
place! In Term 3 we worked with a Storyboard software and Scratch, it was an
interesting topic, I made a story about someone getting bullied. My hobbies
are, Gaming, Watching Videos, swimming and I like to mess around on the
computer, self-teaching myself some commands and how to find extra stuff out
about my computer like, its storage.
The subject MYP Design makes us analyze
and see the flaws that are in current designs of different products. I find it
kind of hard to think of new ideas. I read that the characteristics of a good
designer have to be very attentive to see flaws in designs and re make them but
better.

For this i had to move the pillars on line with the stairs.
For this i had to look behind the stage witht the view cube
with this i had to get a hexagon and place it in the circle then make it a hole and lock it.
for this i had to put the cylindars in order and make them taller and shorter using the provided slider.
The Problem:
The UAE Nurses Association claims that one of the most difficult parts of their job is
dealing with small children who have a fear of needles.Although the association has some
tips and tricks like putting numbing cream to partially freeze the surface of the skin
before injecting medicine, sometimes the anxiety levels of small children are so high that
it is difficult to get them to hold still.If only there was an easier way to administer
medicine within the syringe.
Design Brief:
My design is that i will make a water siringe that will have shrek on it because alot of little kids like shrek and they would be less intimidated and they would look at him for a distraction from the needle.
Problem:
When playing a 1v1 splitscreen it is very easy to screen watch (looking at the other persons screen to cheat) and it is very annoying when it happenes.
Design Brief:
I will make a box that snuggly goes around your eyes and streches out all the way to your half of the tv so you can only see you screen, for the other player, he can no longer see your screen because of the box
Problem:
When i try to carry a 30CM ruler it doesnt fit in my pencil case. and i always need a 30cm in stead of a 15cm ruler.
Design Brief:
Im going to make a ruler that is 15cm but you can open it and it turnes into a 30cm ruler so that you can carry it where ever you go!

In Term 1 students created the design folder in the form of blogs. As the subject caters to design technology they were opportunities to understand the design cycle through the use of videos, activity sequencing in the form of a comic strip through which students were able to get a better grasp over the subject as they progressed through the design cycle. The current unit about 3D Modelling enables students to design ergonomically designed 3D models. Students worked in collaboration by brainstorming about 3D printing and its technologies which enhanced their awareness about 3D printing. They were introduced to designing software - TinkerCAD and with the help of tutorials familiarized themselves in building objects consisting of basic shapes. Students made choices to write design situations and design briefs for modelling 3D objects. Riccardo has completed all tasks but the reflections for the tasks are very minimal which not according to MYP specifications. He is encouraged to maintain a neat and organised structure for his blog labeling all tasks. The brainstorm task on 3D Printing is not posted on his blog. The design situations and the design briefs require more information to be keyed in to justify the need for a solution. you are currently at a level 3/8.
