I, Robot Review

I thought the movie was good. The plot of the movie was a bit basic because it was just robots betraying their creators but I think it was still a decent plot to have. In terms of how the robots looked, I thought they looked a bit simple. I think they could have had a better design. But the overall aesthetic of the movie looked decent and there were only a couple scenes were it looked cartoonish. At the end of the movie it was the protagonists who saves the day as always and maybe they should have had at least one of them die. For example, in the end scene they should have just let the girl die so sunny the robot should have been the one to inject the thing to kill Viki. Then the it would have made things a bit sad and darker. But to me I still liked the movie. It was cool to seeing all the futuristic things and robots that were it in. I would rate it a 7/10.

Fixed and Growth Mindsets

There are two different types of  mindsets. Fixed and Growth mindsets.

These two mindsets are very different to each other.

Some people have fixed mindsets and some people have growth mindsets.

People with fixed mindset think that there is no room for improvement.

They think that you can’t learn and that you either have it or don’t.

Their mindset are essentially fixed into thinking that you just can’t improve because you were made the way you are.

Growth mindset on the other hand is different.

People with growth mindset think that everyone can always get better and improve at everything.
They think that if you just work hard you will improve and learn overtime.

So in conclusion, these two mindsets are very different.

Fixed mindset is where you think you can’t improve and growth is where you think you can improve as long as you put in hard work.

And that’s what these two mindsets are all about.

Passion Project

My passion project is sports recreation.
My group is doing 3 on 3 basketball for year 7 and 8. So far we have done the planning and now we just need an approval to use the gym for our tournament. For our next step, once we get the gym we will start the tournament. We have already our planning and getting the gym is the only thing that we need so we can start it.

Growing NZ Innovation Project

Introduction

At the start of term 3 we did the growing NZ innovation project. Our class had to choose 2 different people that we can make a group with. There were different topics on this innovation project. The one we chose was the Irrigation Efficiency. Irrigation is used to assist the growth of crops, usually at times when there is insufficient rainfall to optimise production. Water is moved through pipes, canals, sprinkles and other man-made things. So our task was to come up with a solution that will make it more efficient.

Our solution was to create a pipe. The pipe was going to be opened by remote. This pipe basically distributes the water from underneath. It is better to spread the water under so it won't evaporate therefore we can save water.

Reflection

I enjoyed our topic and I liked what we came up with. I think we chose the perfect topic and the enablers. We also got everything done it was very organised. I enjoyed working with my group. Our presentation was quick and got straight to the point. I think my group did the best out of all the other group. I don't think we could have done any better because it was perfect.
