Motivation and Interest

In order to choose and know what project I am going to do, I will need motivation and an interest. Based off my perseverance and willing to understand the world of engineering and physics, I would need to create building blocks in order to become better in these areas. Thus a project like this would set me in the right direction.

Why I choose to Persue?

This project was inspired by my friends as well as my own intuition for science and challenging myself. I have never worked with technology before, especially with building or creating it. I thought this would be a good step into the right path to dealing and understanding how technology works. It teaches me about different components in a PC and how they work together. Physics really interests me with how things work and how things work together. In a PC a lot of physics occurs. The idea of understanding and pursuing a challenge is very enjoyable. Instead of doing something like making a song or making clothing. Making a song would deal with music and making clothing deals with designing, whereas building a PC deals with technology, which is an interest I have.

Previous Experiences

Previous experiences focus on what I have seen from my friends and them building Pc’s. I have watched videos about the area and how these machines look like, but never took the time to dive deep into the subject. This being my first time handling a pc, the pc parts and overall learning how to assemble one. Wanting to do computer science or engineering focuses on physics and assembling different materials.

Future Events?

Engineering consists of many challenges, using a lot of precise measurements. Some projects could even focus on things similar to what I have done for my pc, such as performance. The use of physics takes a large part into creating this project, thus this project helps me build on this knowledge and mistakes I have encountered. Teaching me and letting me better understand the modern technology in 2020 and how far it has come since the past.
