My name is Nico O'Connell. I am a ninth grader, and some of my hobbies are comics, petting my cat (he is in the photo and my banner), and taekwondo. I am in IDEA because I have enjoyed it the years before, and was intruiged by the idea of spending time in a classroom setting on something I enjoy outside of the classroom.
My project is solely a crafts project, in which I shall make ~2 costumes of characters. I plan on making a video of the work I put in to put it all together.
Throughout the course of my project, I have learned much about sewing and planning a sewing project. I have also learned that time management is an important thing that I should have.
My advice for up and coming 9th graders is to think deeply about what you want to choose, because you will spend a year on it and then have to share it with people you do not know.
My next mini goal is to finish Nagato's yukata and get in contact with my mentor.
My next step is getting into contact with my mentor, and getting fabric for my project. After completing those, I shall begin cutting out my modified pattern for Nagato's shirt.
