Project Reflection

5/22/2015

My project is a 3-D printout of my name with LED lights that change colors. The materials needed to complete this were:

3-D printed name
3 LED lights
red wires
black wires
battery
battery holder
switch

The tools needed were 
3-D printer
multiple pliers
solder machine

The most challenging part of the project was getting it done on time. We had a very small time frame to finish. Also I had to switch my project from an electric hand to this. There weren't any times where I didn't expect it to work because it is a pretty straight forward project. Once I was finished my wire snapped so one of the lights didn't work but Mr. Umekubo fixed that. I thought that at the end product was really cool because I got to see my project come to life. I learned how to solder and make a circuit which I didn;t know how to do any of that before. If I had more time or resources I would make it HUGE with tons of lights. I had to try new techniques and strategies to make it work but Mr. Umekubo really helped me a lot.

Here is a video of my project:

Isabel and I created an American Flag that plays the National Anthem with LED lights. We are not completely finished with our final project. Isabel and I had fun creating this because we got to try to make the song to have ur sound correct and we like our flag. We used a board to cut out the flag and we used the LED lights and the hummingbird program. Next time we would add more to it and work faster because we ran out of time a few times.

My nametag

In Creators studio, I created a very basic pink name tag with my name in white. I created this because I like the colors pink and white together and I wanted to have a simple name tag. To make this I used letters that make up my name, a circular tube and I also used a plain rectangular prism. I had to put a slightly smaller rectangle inside the base rectangle and make it a hole to I could fit my name inside. Then I added my letters to the design. The tube is for chains to hook on to or zippers to attach to.

My Personal Project Idea

I am going to make an automatic hand scratcher with Ali and Isabel and it is going to be able to move back and forth and side to side and add fake nails on to the ends of the hand. We will have to research how the mechanics work and we don't exactly know the materials we will need to complete this project quite yet.
