Helping The Students Or Torturing The Students

In the Senior STEAM classed called Systems and Models we learned about what psychology and why it matters. We learned about Maslow Hierarchy of needs this theory is made by Abraham Maslow it is a chart of needs that humans need. We talked about the needs of our community and how it connects to Maslow Hierarchy of needs as well. We talked about the Commons and what it is. Commons are a resource or a place of land that is shared by a community as well as affects the community as a whole. We learned about SWOT which means Strenght Weakness Opportunities and Threats. We used SWOT in our action projects to talk about the things that are good and bad about the topics we chose. For this Action Project, we were supposed to take a system in our school and talk about the good and the bad and ways to fix the system. We could choose whatever platform we wanted to use as a way to display our project. I chose to do my Action Project for Lunch study. I chose to choose the format of Prezi. The hardest part of making this project was using Prezi because they changed the format of the way you put your information. I learned eventually how to use the "New" version of Prezi. I had the difficult time trying to embed my Prezi into my blog but I eventually figured out a compromise with my teacher.

Hypebeasts Do Experiments

In the senior STEAM class called Systems and Models. In the   second unit, we learned about how group form and function and the different types of groups. We learned about culture and identity how it relates and shapes a person. We learned about tools of observation and how they are used. For this Action Project, my partner LD and I conducted a case study whether or not fashion reflects an individuals identity. During this case study me and my partner had a difficult time trying to make time for us to conduct the interviews. We figured this out by just using our time at school during lunch to conduct the interviews and take photos. I enjoyed the most just getting to work with my partner since this is our last year at this school we got to make a fun and engaging project together.

Diving Into The Ocean

For the senior STEAM class called Systems & Models, we learned about the different types of personality tests. For example, we learned about Myers Briggs - which is a personality test that you answer questions and based on the answers given from the questions you get one of the 16 personalities.  For this action project we made a self portrait that is supposed to describe us from a personality or psychological perspective. In this class we visited the Museum of Contemporary Art. We visited this museum to help us get ready to write our artist statements. I found that there was one piece, a sliver blanket and the artist had a long and detailed artist statement of why he chose to do this piece. I took inspiration from his artist statement when I wrote mine. The hardest part of making this project was that I made a collage and I needed magazines. We had no magazines at school and I have none at home. I fixed this problem by just printing out things that I liked and making the collage with the pictures I printed out. My favorite part was figuring out what I was going to do with my piece of fabric.

My piece is called "Diving in the Ocean". I named my piece this because the whole story was supposed to be me in a pool and slowly drowning and thinking of all the things that make me, me. My piece is 12” by 12” in a 14” by 14” square fabric. My forehead has pictures of my friends. I put pictures of my friends, because I am always thinking about my friends even before myself sometimes. I think that the fact that I think about others even though it doesn’t always have anything in it for me. Explains, why I am a Compromising according to the TKI Model Conflict Instrument -which is a test that determines how you would react in an argument in the workplace. I do agree with this I am usually compromising with people in arguments because I feel bad and don’t want to argue with people. I under the pictures of my friends I have my Normal eyebrows I didn’t change them, because they aren’t something I think about. The next part is my eyes. I put pictures of anime eyes and also stranger things. I put these two things because those are the two shows that I am usually watching with my mom or my friends.

I also took the color test. This test said that I was Orange. Orange meaning that I am dominant and a leader. I disagree with this because I would rather spend time being an introvert and watching anime by myself and I don't think I am very dominant either. which is what I wanted to express when I put the television shows. I wanted to express that these are important memories of me connecting with others. My cheeks are normal because they are something that I have always had a problem with since I was little and more as grew up. I don't have the perfect jawline and cheekbones that people want so much but I do have what I have and I accept that I am different from others. My mouth is also the same. I chose to not out anything for my mouth because my mouth is normal I use it to speak or I use it to not speak. I didn’t feel the need to change it. My ears have little heads of musicians. I have drake and Asap Rocky. I love Drake and asap rocky. I put them in my ears because that is who I am usually listening to when it comes to music choice or like Tyler the creator.

The purpose of my piece was to show who I am as a person even though I change in situations that don't mean that I am being fake or that I am not being myself It is just me showing a different side of me to people that I am comfortable with. The DISC says that I am Supportive and Inspiring meaning that I am helpful, sensitive, kind and friendly. This test says that I am people orientated and that I like to avoid conflict. I agree with this test. Like the TKI states, I like to compromise instead of arguing because I don't want to argue with people that I care about or don't know. The Myers Brigs and another test. This test told me that I am Entertainer or ESFP. The test says that when their friends are upset they show empathy and sympathy and when there is the crisis we adapt. The tests show the different sides of me that I don't always want to show to others. I think that they are a cool and fun way to find out about people.

Mystic And Beyond

In the STEAM class called Rocket Science, we learned about the Space Race. We learned about how to design and do a mission into space. In this class, we went to the Museum of  Science and Industry. We got to look at the different space ships. We saw the Gemini and Apollo missions and even flying plans and carrying out missions for space on a fun game in the museum. For this Action Project , we were given 1 million dollar budget to make a rocket and launch the rocket. We had mini missions that prepared for the final project in the end. During class, I can never focus on my work because when I go home I can't get it all done for in one sitting. I just found out that if I can be alone in class I can do so much more work. This was a really fun experience and I would do it all over again.

No design Is A Bad Design

In the Junior STEAM class called Urban Planning, we learned about urban planning and it's history. I learned that urban planning is the process of an area developing. For the last unit of the class we  went on a Field Experience to look at the urban planning around Wrigley Field. This FE was a good example of good and bad urban planning it helped me to see what I wanted to keep away from doing during my action project. For our action project, we had to choose a place anywhere in the world and redesign it they we want to while also benefiting others. I chose to redesign my old elementary school, Northeast Elementary in Stamford CT. I wanted to make some changes to the playground area since the equipment only takes up a small portion of the space I chose.

               

The Parallel Between Connections

In the Junior STEAM class Urban Planning, we learned about Tesla and Edison and the War of Currents.We also stuided the difference between Direct Current or DC and Alternating Current or AC , and what they are used for in the real world. Then we looked into.how to calculate voltage and current in a circuit. For a Field Experience we visited a robotics shop to make circuits using wires and power a toy car's motor. To overcome this we just took pieces from each others boxes that we didn't need.

The Motion Behind The Lyons Theatre

For the second unit in the STEAM, elective course Stage Chemistry, we learned about the different motions that stages use. We went to Steppenwolf Theater and we taught more about the different types of ways people. For my second Action Project, I had to use the location from my first Action Project and build a model of my stage to scale. We also had to create two pieces of motion for the play. We had to make safety signs and protocols for both of the points of motion. I made my stage roughly shoebox sized, but I didn't want to make my model too big so I scaled it down. It was hard for me focus on doing this project because, I felt like it was hard to find what objects of motion that I wanted to choose. I am very proud of my model; I put it together with my own hands.

AL,"Lyons Theater over head"(2017)

AL, "Lights GIF"(2017)

My lights would work by flipping in and out. They would be made with steel and are silver, the reason the lights have steel outer plate that is silver is because it would go with the pageant scene in the play. The purpose of these lights is to set the mood for the scene. It can be used for special effects as well. When the lights are not in use they are flipped up so that they are not to be seen. The Lights weigh 5 pound each and there are four of them that is 20 pounds together which is 88.9644N. I need to find out how much weight it would be if the lights were 40 lbs. Too find out how much weight the bar would Work * Force = Distance W=20  *F=40  D = 800J 

AL "Curtain GIF", (2017)

AL,"Physics"(2017)

For this Action project, I had trouble trying to find and make pieces for my objects of motions because I didn’t know what I wanted to do for them. I couldn’t make a trap door outside so I decided to use the curtains and lights as my objects of motion. As far as making my actual model, it wasn’t hard. I just needed to focus and sit down and do it. I had a hard time cutting kind of, because I don’t realize when the line isn’t straight. I had to make sure to double check the line a couple times before to make sure I got it the way I wanted it to be. We also only had a few box cutters in use for a whole class as well as glue guns to glue the pieces down. Making the measurements for my model was simple as well I just took the, blueprint from my first Action Project, and adjusted it to what fit best for my model. In the end everything turned out fine, I just wish I had more time to work on my model.

The purpose of the curtain is set the mood for the dark scenes of the play, it will be a black curtain to make it seem like the night time. The curtain will be able to go up and down the sides of the stage. The curtain is made of cotton since it’s a thicker material. My lights would work by flipping in and out to light the stage when needed, they would be made by steel and would be silver so they can add color to the stage during the scene of the pageant.




Reflection:

The Different Sound Of Instruments.

In the Junior STEAM course Light, Sound and Time, In our second unit “Sound” We appreciated the absence of sound and we discovered what makes up sounds; we talked about the spectrum of sounds and more.In the external portion of ‘Sound” we found out how radios use electromagnetic waves to transmit waves.

For this action project we made  Diddley Bows, which is basically a guitar we made out of wood and three screws and a piece of guitar string and a tin can.  First you make a hole in the back of the tin can, put a screw at the end on the piece of wood over the tip of the tin can and make sure that there is at least an inch of space for another screw at the open end of the tin can where the space is. Next you put the guitar string through the hole in the can (make sure it’s long enough to be a few inches from the end of the wood). Then put a screw at the end of the wood and make sure not to screw it all the way down so that you can rap the guitar string around the screw and make it tight. And that's how you make the “Guitar”. I am most proud of my guitar because it was the hardest part of this project, we had to wrap guitar wire around a screw which was very difficult.
The thickness of the string is 1.3mm and the length is 10cm.

Calculations. My diagrams explain the vibration, frequencies and wavelengths of my Diddley Bow. The Frequency is the number of complete cycles per second, in the case it is vibrations per second, and is measured in hertz. Wavelength is the distance from one peak to the next and can be thought of as one complete wave length.

Discovering A New Point Of View

In the Junior STEAM course Light, Sound & Time. In our first unit "Light",We learned about the different facets of light from how light works, where it comes from, the speed of light, white light, prisms, the color spectrum, reflection, refraction, mirrors and more. Another thing we learned about was cameras and the human eye, how the human eye is similar to cameras. For this action project we made a pinhole camera: an object with a small hole in one side covered with a lid and absolutely light proof. It works by light passing through the aperture and projects an image onto photosensitive paper We made our cameras using either shoe boxes or Quaker Oats cardboard containers. We painted them black on the inside to absorb the light. If you make it white it will reflect light and ruin the picture. We made a hole in the aluminum foil lens using the point of the tack in the front of the container. We used pieces of a Sprite can. During this class we visited the Latin School to see the dark room and use it to take and develop our pictures - some turned out bad but others didn’t. After the shutter is opened and light enters the camera, It’s very important that you don't open the shutter for too long because the time it’s open affects the picture.

ACL(2017)Pinhole Camera.

My camera illustrates the eye. The light passes through the pinhole and projects an upside-down image on the back of the box. In the human eye, light passes through the lens and projects an upside-down image on the retina. My camera uses neither refraction or reflection. Refraction is light slowing down and changing angle. Reflection is bouncing back of light after hitting any surface. My lens was open for 1 minute and 33 seconds. If I could change anything I would have my shutter open for a smaller time because the ones that were open for less time came out better. I made a triangle diagram to see what the outcome would be if made similar triangle with them. The diagram is the calculations I made using the width and the distance from pinhole to the bottom of the container and the pinhole to the back of the camera.

Who is the Werewolf? Chose wisely.

"The game ain't always fair and that's the thing though. You can play your heart out and everyone don't get a ring though"- Drake.

For the elective STEAM course Game Changers. In the course we learned about board games from designers. We even designed our own prototype board game. As the weeks went by,we played multiple games that some of us knew and some we didn't know. We played games we didn't like and games we loved from Pandemic to Scrabble. For this action project, we made recommendations for board games for a scenario. I found it easy to pick a scenario, but picking game I thought met all my needs for my scenario was hard to do they either met only one or two of my needs. I eventually learned to just make do with the games that met only a few of my needs for my scenario till I found games that met at least four of my needs(Outburst and Werewolf). I am very proud of myself for finished product.

In my scenario, a high school swim team is on a road trip for the a competition. They need a game that can be played on the bus and can have as many as 12 players.

The biggest needs are:

• Capable of having more than 12 people
• playing at once 
• 10 minutes or longer 
• Easy to travel with 
• Easy to play 
• 40 - 100$
• Cover to so that if a player who is wet plays it doesn’t get messed up

• I have chosen two games (Outburst and Werewolf) that fit what the needs for my scenario.

                   (Game Recommendation Reference Sheets below)

The swim team would benefit from either of these games. Since both are party games and both can be player for more than 10 minutes. Outburst has the positive of the red card holder which will protect the cards from getting wet. They are both fun games that connect the players in a fun and easy way and both would be suitably for the needs of the swim team.

If I had to chose one of the these games I would chose werewolf even though Outburst cost wise is better and has multiple cards to play which can last for hours. Werewolf has many other characters that can be added to the mix and make the outcome of the game change by just adding the seer or the town idiot to the game. The game is better for travel all you need is the cards and the a solution to the cards getting wet is to get covers for the cards. While Outburst would be hard to bring. You can easily lose the cards since there are so many. Outburst is really met for only up to 4 players while werewolf can have up to 16 or more players. This game is easy and simple and makes you think of ways to prove who the werewolves are by determining who is to quiet and who is talking to much. This game is the best choice in my opinion.

Christine's Way Out.

In the Junior class Design & Engineering, we learned about different types of bikes, We learned different math concepts such as finding the radius of a circle and different shapes like a cone. We also learned about Kinetic and Potential energy. Another, topic we learned about gears and the effect they have on the different type of bikes depending on the terrain of where the bike is going. We even had a Divvy representative come and see us for a field experience to learn about the different parts of the bike. Lastly we had to interview someone that biked at least once a day to learn about the likes and dislikes of their bike I asked my older brother questions like what he wanted to change etc he answered by saying “I love my bike, but riding around downtown with a seat that hurts you every time you petal sucks” For this action project we have been given personas to adjust a bike to their needs.I have learned about the different needs of other people, and about the gears that are on a bike. I learned that a bike doesn’t have to have a chain.

MI,Demo Bike,(2016)

 My user is Christine, she is thirteen and she bikes to school from Peterson Park using the North Branch route which involves a lot of hills and dips.She also has to take her bike up and down the stairs. The bike is lightweight and it is fold able it also has a handle to carry it down while folded. We call it the Ranger .It's easy to carry. When she needs it she can change the gears depending on the path she is going and the rain shield will protect her through the weather it comes out by pushing the button on the handlebars, it has pockets so she doesn’t have to have a basket . It has quick release front and back tires to change in case of terrain. The reason to believe in our the Ranger is because it is the bike that best suits her needs, we believe that we have touched on every issue she has to the best of our ability because we don’t how much she can carry, so we made the bike out of a lightweight material. We made the bike foldable for her to take down the five steps below the ground. We don’t know her budget, we are able to negotiate with her if necessary. She lives 3 miles from her school, it would take her 19 minutes to get there according to google maps. The average speed that she goes is 8 ½ mph or 4.24 m/s. The radius of the wheels are 12inches. The Ranger show kinetic energy when they are going down a hill and show potential at the top of the hill.

AL, Bike Design (2016)

The Circumference is 75.36. The diameter is 24 inches. To figure out the rotations of the bike wheel you take D/C and divide it so it looks like this 190080/75.36 = 2522.29. The scale of the model is 6/1 . Since Christine wants to look at the scenery around her so she wants an easy ride which involves the gears which means I had to look up the best gear ratio for a bike which is 44/66.

I kept in mind her needs and what can be done without too many complications. Two obstacles were making the three-dimensional models and trying to make up a bike for her needs. I am proud of getting through this unit as it was very challenging for me because of the math portion and this action project.

The Handy Hoe, A Great Invention For Everyone

In the Junior class, Design and Engineering we learned to compare tools and to calculate the surface area and how to add vectors. We talked about simple machines like wedges and what they do to help people during the day. During this class we visited Home Depot.They showed us how to use each tool and what they are called. We discussed empathy, reading about a woman that dressed up as a senior citizen to see how it feels and their daily struggles. Empathy which is when you put yourself in the same shoes to understand how they feel.We are using this as our inspiration for this action project. We also had to interview a gardener for our project to learn about what could make the tools better they used. For this action project we are supposed to pick a tool we saw in Home Depot and innovate it to be easier to use for senior citizens.

TH ,The Handy Hoe,(2016) 

For my interview, I interviewed my neighbor. I learned that my neighbor started gardening as a little girl. I also learned that she liked hand tools because she could get better in the ground more. Lastly, I learned about how to pot plant.“I struggle to use tools, especially ones where I have to bend to use them if I could sit down and use it that would be way better”

TH,Vectors,(2016)

I learned that hoes are used for different reasons for gardening,like moving things or spreading dirt to making room for a plant.I learned that there are different types of tools for different uses and that each one is made from a different material. Lastly, I learned there really aren't any that would be good for a senior citizen other than the fact that it has a grip.
 
Our new tool is named The Handy Hoe, it moves things and lift things. The purpose is to make sure that it is not as straining on the back as a normal tool would be, but the tool is mostly used to lift things.There are joints  that bend and a grip that is rubber. The grip is better for holding the tool. The heads change so that people don’t have to buy more tools .The Handy Hoe is a wedge ,It separates dirt from the ground or rocks in a planter box. Compared to other tools ours is better because we have an arm that can bend which, other hoe's at Home Depot did not. another reason is because the material is better there is less chance of getting a splinter and it is not as heavy to carry. Lastly, there are changeable heads so as mentioned before you don't have to buy more tools.

The doctors appointment

In the third Unit of STEAM course of CURE,we learned about care to prevent for “me now” vs the “future me”. We learned about Angelina Jolie surgery to prevent breast and ovarian cancer.For this Action Project, we had to create a patient profile for a person we interviewed about their family and medical history too.We explored it to the point of making a very detailed treatment plan.I am very happy with my work.The most trouble I had was doing the interview,because it was hard trying not ask questions that would offended the person I was interviewing especially about family members that are deceased,it was easy to find a person to interview. I am proud of myself for finishing the project to the best of my ability.

My Everyday Life

"Sometimes, I look in the mirror and see dots all over" - AL


In Unit two of Cure we focused on Penicillin and how it works and was used in world war one and two. We figured out how to balance chemical compound.We talked about the affects of different medicines on our bodies.In addition we solved quadratic equations,we found the vertex and discriminate.I have struggled with eczema since I was in the fourth grade so I chose to find treatments for eczema. For this unit's action project we had to pick 4 treatments and make it look like a medication box. below you will see the images of the end result. I am most proud of the sign since it was my favorite part of the project. the hardest thing to do was the graph since i had to find the information.

Saving Lives

This is the first unit in the sophomore class called Cure called Emergency. This unit we talked about the different cells in the body like Haploid and Diploid,and the differences between them. We also talked about different surgeries and doctors,and how they have advanced through the years. This unit’s action project was to pick a surgery and make a presentation about that specific part of the body it affects using Prezi.

Headlines,Al,2016 

Unit three of the STEAM course Disease called World. We learned about the spread of diseases. We also learned about black plague and the Zika virus. I was interested in the way we used the data. We were able to gauge the population that we needed to get the vaccine which is called an R-Naught.

For this Action Project. We had to choose from a Pandemic ,Epidemic, and endemic. Finding the causes and the decline for the disease.We had to find two places that can contract the disease. For my project, the hardest thing was trying to find a map that would show the spread of Tularemia. I couldn't find one. It was also hard to find the R- Naught of my disease.
Two Tularemia Outbreaks

Small Pox Vaccination, India,1882

There were outbreaks of Tularemia in 1988 and 2002 .In Turkey it is Tularemia is to be a considered an endemic. In this case, it was caught by drinking water that was contaminated with Francisella Tularensis which is the main cause of Tularemia. the Incubation period was 1-14 days.

Two risk factors for getting Tularemia are touching dead animals with bare hands and drinking water that might be contaminated with Tularensis. Tularemia is a disease spread by animals and it can be spread by air droplets too. The symptoms for Tularemia are Skin Ulcer's,headache and exhaustion.People mostly get the disease by hunting for hares you can also get it from domesticated cats you can be bitten by a tick or mosquito.

There is a vaccine for the disease which is antibiotics. But depending on how severe it is you can have the vaccine and still die. The two countries that could have an outbreak are Turkey and Germany because Germany and turkey both have had outbreaks of Tularemia in years and have most likely will have it again. The places hunt too for hares. It has emerged and re-emerged multiple times in Europe 38 European countries to be exact. This disease is considered to be endemic because it is it usually found in only northern parts of the world.

creative commons, Google, Map of Turkey

The precautions for Tularemia is avoiding contact with animals that live in the outdoors for example rabbits and squirrels. Don't walk around with no shoes or socks on in places where animals frequently travel. Don't hunt wild animals with pets because they might be infected.I couldn't find the R-Naught because there isn't enough information on the disease because there haven't been that many cases, to get the R-naught you need to have the average of people that it can spread to.

Don't touch dead animals with no gloves or a mask. The decline in the disease was seasonal because people stop hunting in the winter and begin again in the spring and summer

The battle with our bodies

“I didn’t even noticed I felt normal until I looked in the mirror and saw a liquid coming out”

- Charles Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)

 Overview 

This is the second Sophomore STEAM class is called Disease. We are in our first unit which is called Body.In disease we discussed cancer. We also learned how to determine what is in blood.Another thing we did was learning to classify diseases and the eleven systems of the body.This action project is about disease. We were told to research a disease that someone we know had and to interview them and how it affected them and what they did to treat it or why they couldn’t treat it. I am proud that of my drawing the most it took me at least an hour to make. I struggle with my grammar in the blog post the most. I made sure to ask my teacher to help and , I made sure read it over.

Types of Conjunctivitis 
Viral Conjunctivitis: Viral conjunctivitis is when the becomes red and the conjunctiva becomes swollen it is highly contagious and is caused by non-enveloped viruses. it can not be cured with antibiotics but it will go away on its on.
Allergic conjunctivitis: Allergic conjunctivitis is called by eye allergies like to pollen. it is can be cured by eyes drops also.
Bacterial conjunctivitis:Viral conjunctivitis is a caused by bacteria into the eye or various other way. it can be cured by antibiotics eye drops or ointment.

About
 Charles is a 47 year old man and father of two children. He was previously diagnosed with Pinkeye seven years ago he doesn’t have it anymore. His first symptom was Itchy eyes and later on he saw mucus coming out of his eyes. He had a cough and a runny nose. He didn’t go and get checked until a few weeks later. When he went to the doctor he was asked a few questions like, when did you notice the mucus in your eyes? and he gave him antibiotic eye drops also.
(I interviewed Charles he had Pink eye in 2009 when we were moving. I asked him a few questions about his experience and how he thinks he got the disease) 
1.How did you get?
2.What symptoms did you have?
3.When did you notice the symptoms?
4.What was the the treatment ?
5.How long did you have the disease?

  Systems(affected)
Central nervous system:The central nervous system is system of cells and nerves that send signals to parts of the body.

Key terms 
Conjunctiva: The membrane that covers that eye.
Membrane: A thin flexible piece of skin on the eye other parts of the body.
Conjunctivitis: Is the swelling of the eye.

 Classify Conjunctivitis is classified as Transmission, because the way Charles got the disease was by touching the steering of a van. If the disease is transmissible then they can get it by airborne or waterborne or bodily fluids which for example mucus on the steering wheel. 
This disease is multifactorial because, it can happen if Charles went out touched someone with viral conjunctivitis which is very contagious then he would have gotten the virus too.

 Risk factor
- Contact lens (dirt in them)
-Touching an object with the disease on it then touching your eyes.

Benefits to the New Space

Signs for the new space

Unit 3 of Rapid Prototyping, which is a math and art class. In unit 3 we learned about different tools and if they have torque or leverage. We also discussed safety in work environment.We had to make our own life hack. We also looked at Ikea hacks too and Instructables after that we had to make and design  something for the new space our school is moving into. I am proud of my sign, it took hours to make.

                  

The project I made was a sign for the bathroom. Since we have a new space we need signs so each student knows where everything is.I made a sign made out of wood It is a creative way to make your house or school interesting on a budget. This was My Inspiration it is a poster of inspiration poster made out of cardboard. During the FE one of the ladies said that "we should be inspired by anything you feel no matter what it is" My time lapse shows the cutting of the design for the stencil. I used my friends phone to take the time lapse so I didn’t have to shorten it is 14 seconds. To make my sign I didn't have to use torque. Torque is rotation the bigger the handle the more torque there is.

Materials
-cardboard or wood (what you prefer)

- saw (for wood)

- markers/paint

- glue

- string

- lights (optional)

- spray paint

- X-acto knife

- Cameo cutter

- Cardstock

As far as safety, I had to use  a saw to cut the wood which is very dangerous without safety gear. For example,goggles in case the wood flies into the air. Fortunately there were no accidents while using it.  My Instruct ables page  My Instruct ables Page which has everything and more of my project and how it turned out.

1. I learned to plan ahead or make sure you have an exact idea of what you’re doing

     2. Make sure you can get all the materials that you need

     3.Do your blog as you go as well as the Instruct ables page because you won’t have to remember     

     4. Make sure you  have a good stencil paper or a backup idea that is quick just in case.

     5. Make sure you can the design by hand.

The Knight

Rapid Prototyping is a Math and Science course. This is unit 2 which is called "Additive", we learned about limits and Riemann Sums as well as the different types of 3D printers and how they work. I am proud of my 3D model because it came out the best out of the other two models. Another reason is it was the fastest to make.



 

My Letters

This course is about Math and Science, it is called Rapid Prototyping. In the first unit, we learned how to find the distance between two points, we also learned the point -slope formula, and how to determine the interior angles of shapes. Finally we learned how to use a Cameo Machine. This Action Project was a challenge to me because it was hard to get to use the machine with a whole class using two machines at once. Despite having to wait for the Cameo machine, it was fun designing my letters. I am proud of my letters and my power point.
