We choose the football one with the clip on because it is useful and baphu loves football.
List the ways in which a person's life may be affected by having no power. Justify you answers (explain).
| Situation | Explanation |
1 | Trying to study at night | A person would have to rely on natural day light to work. |
2 | No understanding about the news around the world | No wifi no connection with the world |
3 | No everyday electric machine (air con, oven, microwave…) | It is harder to live |
4 | no fridge | can’t store the food for long time |
5 | Can not be clean | No shower as the the water pump works with electricity |

What have I found out?
I can see from the mind map that… life without electrciity is really difficult
Inquiring & Analysing – Identify & Prioritise the Research – Mind map
Create a mindmap with at least 20 open who, what, where, when, how and why questions that remain unanswered around your design brief. For example, what materials would be best for this product? How is it going to be manufactured?
Construct a research plan, which states and prioritizes the primary and secondary sources
Priority | What to research | Why I need to research | Source | Primary/ Secondary |
1 | Which countries are LEDCs? | So that you can better understand the problem and where the product might be used. | https://www.un.org/en/conferences/least-developed-countries#:~:text=Afghanistan%2C%20Angola%2C%20Bangladesh%2C%20Benin,%2C%20Kiribati%2C%20Lao%20People's%20Dem. | Secondary |
2 | Where in Cambodia | Too see the access of electricity in the country | https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS?locations=KH | Secondary |
3 | What is it | It’s a solar power power bank | https://www.coolblue.nl/en/advice/what-is-a-solar-power-bank.html | Secondary |
4 | Why are we doing it | For people has no electricity access | https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS?locations=KH | Secondary |
5 | How will it work | The solar panel absorb the solar power and transform it to electricity | https://www.coolblue.nl/en/advice/what-is-a-solar-power-bank.html | Secondary |
Place the most important research topic at the top and work downwards (your opinion).
Secondary research – This is using research that you have not yourself collected.
Primary research – This is research you collect yourself.

Aesthetics
It is yellow which makes it look stylish, elegant and modern.
The design is boring and does not have any design /theme on it. It is very smooth and easy to clean. It contains a small logo that has been etched.
Function
It uses solar power to supply free light without the use for batteries. It is able to be worn around the neck and/or hung from a surface.
Safety
There are no sharp edges, so the product is safe for the user . Acrylic is also brittle – too much pressure and it will break violently
Materials
Made from clear acrylic which is a type of plastic. Hard & brittle. Very smooth but difficult to shape/cut out on a laser cutter due to its complex shape. Comes in one colour only.
Environment
It is made from thermoplastic which is made from a finite resource (oil). Will take 100’s of years to degrade if you throw it away. It is easy to recycle and make into more acrylic products.
