Theme: Our theme was the advancements in technology through the 1970's-1990. It was the developments of the nation during this time period, as well as the beginnings of great products, even "necessities" of which we have today. Everyday uses of technology.

Item Choice: Our choice of items encompassed the idea of items invented throughout 1970 to 1990 of which we had advanced upon recently. Pretty much the "ancestors" of technology we use today. An example would be the picture of Steve Jobs, with one of the first Apple Macintosh computers. Macintosh computers have advanced quite a distance farther than the time of invention - showing what potential we had, and how much we could push forward in technology in only a matter of 10-30 years.

Obtaining Items: How we obtained items was significantly from items we had already owned, mainly objects our parents had owned that were invented and used in the 70's through 80's. I, personally, discovered that my dad had a great load of the top-notch technology of the time.We also received items from teachers.

Advice to next year's students: PLAN AHEAD. Dedicate yourself to getting the project done, even before it's due. Procrastination is the biggest folly, make sure you have things planned ahead of time so by the time you will need to display your project, you only need to touch it up a little, or not at all. Also, make sure every person in the group has equal input - this is important because the more input from various people will end up in a better, more diverse and creative project.
