PlayDoh! Design Challenge 4

                                  Door stopper!!! A Donald Duck door stopper
                                  As you can see, the legs will fit under the
                                  door and since they are pretty short,
                                  the head of the duck also acts as the stopper!
                                  Requirement 3, the door stopper must be
                                  safe, you can see, it is on the ground, so it's
                                  safe. The stopper also must not be able to
                                  be removed without supervision. The only
                                  way to remove it is by this on the top, to
                                  remove you must press the body of the duck.
                                  The duck will then make a squeak when it is
                                  pressed in the body, so the adults will know
                                  when is the child pulling the door stopper out!


A few more looks at the duck! ^^
                                  This is the sketch on the duck! ^^

PlayDoh Design Challenge 5!!!

                                  This is a Nokia 3 pin-plug charger set! ^^
                                  This set is specially design so that the charger
                                  does not need wires! It is multi-size! ^^
                                  As you can see here, this charger is made for 2
                                  phones! It is made for any size of Nokia phones!
                                  As long as the hole for the charger can fit the
                                  plug, the phone can be charged and nicely secured.

Energy Conservation for kids

1. I think the target audience are children from the age of maybe 7 to 10..

2. The main key messages are to get the new CFL bulbs and conserve energy.

3. Yes i do think the clip is effective. The clip is interactive. It ask's questions, is in cartoon and uses pictures too. The clip tried to use easy terms so as to make sure the children understands them. The clip also used a rhyme at the end.

4. They could have maybe some background music, crack some jokes, make the video more colorful and cut down on hard words like incandescent and percentages.

Energy Conservation video 1

1. People like to go the easy was, non-renewable resources are easier to be collected and used, while renewable resources needs quite a bit more of work and sacrifices. For example using wind as an energy source, people have to cope with the problem of the annoying sounds of the turbines turning.

2. The video has suggested that one of the easy ways is to use less non-renewable sources.

3. Schools can invite speakers from companies that conserves the environments to talk more about energy conservations and inspire the students to conserve energy and save the earth. In the public people can put up posters, advertisements and such to convince people about conserving energy.
