We want to double check our text, when it‘s finished. At the moment we are not finished. As soon as the text is ready, we will give it to our parents to check.
We definitely learned a lot about our topic. We imagined the teamwork to be easier. Since this project is very important to us, we wanted to invest a lot of time. But the project isn't that important for our collaborations partner, that is why they sometimes needed very long to answer. We learned a lot of new things about the ecological building and we had very good conversations.
We realised that many factors contribute to building ecologically. The cost and time aspect is also in the foreground in ecological building.
We are very satisfied with our project and we have met great new people and established a super collaboration with them. It was also very exciting that these collaborations go beyond our own country and that we can compare two countries.

We are still putting the individual components together so that the project is slowly completed. As soon as this is completed, we will give our project to our family and friends for review.

Today I focused on getting my data toghether for publishing it on dontwastemyenergy.
I will make an image collection and list of what I still have to photograph myself (since I have my own photo studio and photograph as a part-time job). In addition I should come up with a solution for the interview transcripts - since the interview is quite long.
Photos I still need:
- Header image
- Pictures of Ada Lovelace
Task 13
In this post we would like to show you where our collaboration partners are located. We are very happy that we have found partners all over the globe. This way we can incorporate even more different knowledge into our project.More...
I have recieved some recommendations on where to learn how to code / how to self study during my interviews.
These are a few of their recommendations:

Interview No1 - with aunt Eileen (the tech savy digital nomad).
I had to cut it into three parts because the file was too big for the horse.
Part 1 - Interview_Eileen_Part_01.mp3 (14,30 mb)
Part 2 - Interview_Eileen_Part_02.mp3 (10,45 mb)
Part 3 - Interview_Eileen_Part_03.mp3 (6,17 mb)

I was looking for an easy way out for writing down the answers from my interviews (audio based) and came across the application called "Otter". You can either record something directly or upload your own audio. Check it out if you need to "convert" audio to text - I recommend it.
Task 10 C-Project:
In our project we want to find out what impact classic cars and electric cars have on the environment in comparison. We also made a cost comparison between these two types of cars, taking into account the following points:
- Acquisition costs
- Maintenance costs (repair, refueling/charging, etc.)
- Stability of value
Our goal is to raise awareness about cars through these two main points: cost comparison and impact on the environment from production to wear and tear to disposal, compared to old-timers and electric cars.
Today I focused on cutting the audio from the interviews and oh boy! I have more than 1h worth of audio to cut through.
Since I am already aquainted with the audio cutting tool, it is not that much hard work. But listening to my own voice defenitley sucks. I am working with the tool "audacity" - I recommend it to anyone that wants to edit/cut audios.
