Published Book Project: Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted to become an author. In fact, my first grade teacher awarded me with a certificate that said I was most likely to become a famous author. My teacher challenged us to create a 60 page book about anything our heart desired. The finished product was published and put on Amazon. So far I have sold more than 25 copies! You can check it out on Amazon to support me!
Empowerment Conference: Our class held an empowerment conference on a Saturday for the community . I had to create a 5 minute speech for the audience about a topic that I felt strongly about. I decided to make my speech about Digital Addiction.(click on the picture below to read it)
Corn hole board Project: My teacher challenged my group and I to make a finished corn hole board to sell to consumers interested in the game. It had to have excellent craftsmanship in order to be sold so we could make a profit. I also designed a logo for our company.
3D Keychain project: This was our first project of the year and one of the first times I ever used TinkerCAD. I designed the keychain on the software and printed it out.
Scrap wood Challenge: There were some leftover scrap pieces of wood laying around in the engineering room from previous projects. Our teacher let us utilize this wood by creating and designing something for our families. The picture below shows an address sign for my house that I designed using the laser printer.
Toy/Reverse Engineering Project: My partner and I took apart a Lalaloopsy Doll and reengineered it. By taking it apart piece by piece and putting it back together, I learned more about motherboards and what mechanisms make a toy move.
Phone Holder Project: I had to design a functional phone holder for a family member. The phone holder had to successfully be able to charge the phone without bending the charging cable and hold 3 other small items. I had to design several functional prototypes before I could create the final product file on TinkerCAD
Cooking Project: I had to create a cooking video (entirely in Spanish) about how to make my favorite Spanish dish. I also had to edit the video and cook the dish without any outside help.
