Presentation Slide and Story Board for the Video
Presentation Slide(1st Draft)
- We were asked to make a presentation slide before hand to get ourselves familiarized with the idea. I used Canva which is an online website which helps create slides, ppt, creative images, etc.
- The slide shown above is a summary of my final project journey which includes subtractive and additive fabrication, electronic design and production, embedded programming and interfacing which is the sole requirement to pass the Fab Academy. I've yet to add the main structure of the Scarecrow which is on the way.
Story Line for the Video
- I've spent most of my childhood years in my village during vacations. I could see my Azha(Uncle) and Ama(Aunt) working tirelessly everyday to ensure that crops are planted, tended to and harvested in a timely and efficient manner. As they say, farmers are the backbone of the Agricultural industry. They are responsible for the production of food and other agricultural products that are essential to our daily lives.
- Farmers face many challenges when it comes to protecting their crops, and one of the biggest challenges they face is the threat of wild boars. These animals can cause significant damage to crops, which can be devastating for farmers who rely on their harvest to make a living. Farmers have tried many different methods to protect their crops from wild boars, including fencing, repellents and even hunting. However these methods are often ineffective, as wild boars are intelligent and adaptable animals that can quickly find ways around or through barriers. So hence, My Idea of making a scarecrow comes in.
- The scarecrow with sensors and speakers will help them keep the wild boars away at the same time get some sound sleep at night rather then having to guard the crops at night!
