I started off the year helping Mrs. Harris with printer problems, which took little to no time to diagnose and fix.
A few days later, we started to research genius hour topics. I chose tech repair, and subsequently created a website called NG Tech Repairs for the services, with the help of UT Batra and Richard Woo. During our work on the genius hour project, Drew Geckler and I took on a problem in Mr. Baulake's room with his Elmo. We attempted changing cables and orientation, but nothing worked. We eventually found a solution by using only one cable at a time. The most recent problem I addressed was a quick fix for Dana, a special education aid. She was having concurrent laptop problems with her Macbook Pro. Upon opening the computer, I discovered an issue with the fan rubbing on the case. The solution was quick and easy: I bent the case away from the fan. This resolved the problem, and took only 20 minutes. Currently, the tech repair business is starting slowly, with no orders yet. We have been preparing for business by purchasing parts from Alibaba, with plans to also create a YouTube channel within the next month. Fliers will be up soon, and hopefully business will start within the year. The goal is to provide an affordable tech repair solution for the students of Northgate High School. Help Desk, overall, has been a positive experience since the beginning of my junior year. I am excited to see progress and changes throughout the year, in the tech repair business, as well as my own personal knowledge and experience.
