1. Project management¶
This week I learned how to setup my website where I will be uploading all my work in the Fab Lab Academy.
We will be going through the steps we did.
1 creating an account on both tamkeen and fablab websites
2 create an account gitlab to save all my work at.
3 then we uploaded gitbash application and connect it to the website.
these are the main codes I’ve used:
Git Clone The URL you copied in step 1
to copy the URL apply these steps
-press on the code button on the top right then copy the second URL link.
git config –global user.name “FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME”
git config –global user.email “MY_NAME@example.com”
4 We installed markdown preview to edit our work and see how it will appear at the same time
5 We installed code spell checker for spelling mistake.
6 We start to edit our website and add all the work
7 To resize our images we used this website.
8 to edit the name, font and color of the text:
we click on mkdocs.yml and change what we want as shown in the image below
9 add social media accounts by adding the logo of the app and the link to our profile
How to do a research¶
First, we entered Google scholar
Second, we started to search and put the important points between two stars for the search to be more specific and narrowed.
Third, we searched for articles that we found interesting to our category which is interactive play. we read the abstracts and took out the important keywords.
Fourth, we collected the keywords as a group which were:
1 Digital Technology
2 IoT
3 Video Games
4 Tangible Interaction
5 Intergenerational
6 Cultural Heritage
7 Hybrid physical/digital objects
8 Globalisation
9 Communicating with children
10 Outdoor play
Fifth, by using these keywords we will create an abstract of our own.
In these days, technology is the most important thing in our lives, everything works by internet. This is why we have the internet of things, which is connecting any physical object to the internet. Moreover, it is used to make kids games more attractive and enjoyable for them. Kids are very curious, they always want to try things by themselves by touching or hearing. So the idea of making a hybrid Physical/digital object will be very useful for them, it will help communication with children as well. Moreover, using these kinds of games are better than only staying at home with a joystick in their hands and sit for hours and hours. Instead, they play outdoors and at the same time they are connected globaly. Hybrid games could be educational, cultural, based on sport games, etc.
