Week 5

Today we focused on the Health and Safety aspects of our workshop.
Some points we made are:

• Hybrid Solutions is comitted to providing a safe working
  environment for employees, customers and volunteers( work
  experience) and any other staff member on the premises.
• We will maintain a safe work environment, and provide
  adequate safety equipment when needed.
  
• Under the HSE Act the employee has the right to refuse to perform work likely to cause serious harm.

We made a really good presentaion on 'Presentaion X5' on Windows 7 (the new version of powerpoint). Unfortunately using this program did not let us open it on a Unitec computer as it is to out of date. This was really dissappointing as we had put a lot of effort into making a good presentation this week and we weren't able to present it. We have no other program to use as no one else in our group has a laptop.

Ive completed the first written assignment as I'm going on away during the holidays for 10days. I've just asked about how to hand it in and what sort of cover page is needed, so it shall be finalised very soon.

Week 4

My group has finally come up with a name, Its Hybrid Solutions.
Our main idea is to make Hybrid cars more effective by improving on the quality of the battery, we will be putting high powered, environmentally friendly lithium batteries in.
Todays task was about Sustainability. By improving the hybrid we are helping to maintain a green environment. As we will be helping to use less fuel and more renewable resources(better batteries).

Our presentation covers this in more detail. The problem with our presentation is that at the last minute we realised that we were able to put the presentation onto the projector. So within 5min I typed all of our handwritten info into a Word docuement. By doing this is wasn't a very pretty presentation but we simply didn't realise earlier that we could use the projector to use.

Next weeks presentation will be better prepared as we have learnt from our mistake.
