Tech Fair project created by others- 4/1/16

What was the product or software developed and how does it work?

The product that was developed was a chemical sniffing Lego robot that was created by Anna Simpson and it is used to fight terrorism by detecting chemicals. She built a mobile robot that was built out of Lego bricks and some simple electric parts. It is able to detect  and react to chemical spills using a porous silicone chip that changes colour when it comes in contact with the compound.

Who developed it?

High School Student Anna Simpson

A paragraph on what was developed and how does the product benefit the society.

A chemical sniffing Lego robot was developed and the product benefits the society by fighting and helping people against terrorism since it is able to detect the compound with a certain chip. She is also trying to make it possible for the law enforcement to use it and it becomes a popular product to detect chemicals.

Critical Judgement – Looking at the product from different angles trying to find out flaws and benefits of the product.

I think the product has a lot of benefits since the army will be able to use this as one of their products or weapons to easily detect terrorism and it will help the people of the society and try to stop it. I think the only flaws would be that I want to know how the product would be controlled and how would this be able to defend itself since Lego is not that strong

Reflection – On how your research went. What were the keywords that you used in the search engine to get your results. Did you get your results in the first attempt? What were the problems that you faced when searching and how did you refine your search to get the desired result?

My research went very well as I was typing out amazing tech fair ideas and I found what I needed since I was looking for something that I would possibly be able to make as well. The problems I faced when researching were that I was not able to find mainly tech ideas it was more science fair ideas. I changed my research to make it top 10 tech fair ideas so I could find the best.
