Today in class we brought the poster and started working on it. We named our project "Watts En Haut." "Watts" is for obvious reasons, and "En Haut" because we're doing the upper floor of my house, and "En Haut" is "upstairs" in French.
We decided on the poster layout: requirement number one, the circuit diagram, will be at the top while requirement number two, the floor plan, will be at the bottom. The drawing for the top part of the poster will be on the right, and the quotes/explanation will be on the left. The drawing for the bottom part of the poster will be on the left, and the quotes/explanation will be on the right. We measured it and drew the lines, and I drew a little cartoon light bulb next to the title, thinking that it will attract some viewers if there is a comic relief there. We started transferring the draft of the floor plan to our poster.
However, when we met up on Saturday to do the work, we discovered that the scale is tricky and we need to measure the dimensions. We went around the house measuring with a coil of wire that's a meter long. It is queer to measure the house out like this. Thankfully, we got the floor plan for the upper floor measured correctly and transferred down on the poster in a few hours time. We spent the rest of our time making note of all the electric appliances, but we could not discover how many watts each appliance has.
Again, we're taking things slow, but we expect a good grade on this.
