For my second helper project, I will be assisting Aidan with his project called "Fixing the Sound System in the Gym". I have the contact information for reaching Aidan when I need to for this project, but it is best not to reveal any of it on my blog. So far, Aidan has said that he already has two of them done, and the step that comes next is creating a manual for other people that will use the sound system in the gym for events such as assemblies (and even my play). He hasn't really informed me about the other milestone dates he has planned so far, but I will talk about them as soon as I am informed.
The objective for this project is to fix up the sound system in the gym that always makes odd noises and interrupts important events such as speeches and assemblies. By fixing the dirty parts of the system, not only will the person speaking avoid being embarrassed by having to stop mid-sentence, but it would also avoid laughter and taunts during a serious meeting. This project aligns with the goals of our class since it would help both the school and community by doing good for the school and making it so that it doesn't have to get a whole new system. It would be useful for creating a professional atmosphere for guests that come to our school since the constant sounds coming from the system would no longer make it seem like our school doesn't care enough to change what we have.
My role for this project is going to be working with Adain in writing the manual for the new system since I am pretty good in coming up with warnings and instructions. The manual will be about how to handle the system properly as well as how to fix any future problems that might occur. Adain has not yet explained to me just exactly what I am supposed to do specifically for the manual, but I do know that we are both going to work on connecting our projects to each other since my play will need the sound system, and Adain will need my help in writing as an exchange.
I am going to check again and again to see where Adain is in his project and if he is on time; I can do this both in class, and through the contact information we have traded. Every time there is a project work portion in class, I will make sure to get updated with all of the new tasks I have to do. I am also willing to stay after school or during lunch in the gym to either assist Aidan's progress or to take things into my own hands if Aidan is busy and thinks I should do more as a helper. If Aidan ever needs me to research anything, I will do it as fast as I can get it done, because I need to have his project done on time if I want to perform with a well-working system and easy-to-use manual.
The largest thing I see getting in my way during this project is that I may not be able to accomplish that much writing in a short time frame if I am given a lot to write since I have a pretty packed schedule when it comes to homework. A group obstacle may be that it turns out to be difficult to find exactly what needs to be talked about within the manual, because much background knowledge about technology and what was done in order to accomplish fixing the sound system is needed in order to tell someone what needs to happen during a problem.
I can solve my problem by giving myself a bit less time to relax and instead using it for this project on the weekends; I can also use some of the time I have in class to work on writing the manual if I am on track with my own project. The problem about having background knowledge can be handled by recording all the steps it took to fix the system while actually repairing it. Also, some background research can be conducted to figure out more about other sound systems so that we can compare them with this one in the manual.
