10th Grade Learning Journal
Use this sticker as you seek understanding of the assignment or problem. Typically this will come from the community, your instructor, or your own observation. You must completely understand the objectives of the project to be successful, so this step is crucial. Develop active listening skills! Entry events for a project are usually a great place to start!
Use this sticker as you examine a problem from all angles. Ask questions, observe people, situations, and artifacts. Develop empathy for the problem that people facing the situation are experiencing. Find out what you know and what you need to know. Explore all of it!
Use this sticker as you are discussing and exploring ideas for how to solve a problem. Record these ideas quickly. Ideas may come in the form of graphic organizers, notes, drawings, outlines, or video blogs. Remember to seek feedback before progressing to the next step (then use the Evaluation/Modification sticker).
Use this sticker as you share your more formal ideas--3-d prototypes, mock-ups, drafts, skits, simulations, and storyboards. Remember to seek feedback before progressing to the next step (then use the Evaluation/Modification sticker).
Use this sticker when you are evaluating your decisions at each step in the process. When you note a user’s feedback also note what you intend to do about it going forward.
Use this sticker to explain how you are trying your prototype with real users. Try it out and note the way it performs and is understood by a real audience. Explain methodology and note observations.

Weave Bonding 1/7/2025
On 1/7/2025 we did weave bonding based off of scientific bonds. The 2 bonds we did were ionic opposites and covalent, sharing an electron/strand. For our weave bonding, we did an ionic bonding. The colors we chose off of the color wheel were blue, orange, yellow, and purple. We put purple and yellow together and blue and orange. The reason why they're ionic is because orange and blue are opposites on the color wheel, and purple and yellow are opposites.
MANDALA RESEARCH
9/24//24 ?What is mandala?
The mandala is from Everythingart.com
What is a mandala used from to focus the mind on meditation, teach people in religious training, and guide a meditating person to spiritual healing and enlightenment.
Mandalas are used in Tibet.
Mandalas are used for meditation.
For the principles of design, I see variety, pattern, and rhythm.
The Aztecs used it to tell time. Native American culture also celebrated mandalas. They believed that the mandala's round shape represented the circle of life, a totem of good luck and they used them in ceremonies and rituals.
But is it art 7/27/24
Art should have very special meanings or looks. Art can be designed in many different ways but it should have meaning. Art to me can be a beautiful painting with no meaning, or something painted by a baby but has meanings. Art can be made like a replica out of any material. But in my opinion it should have meaning or atleast beauty. Art shouldn’t be random items with no meaning. You can make art about history. Most famous art pieces were history. For example Napoleon crossing the alps The painting has meaning and beauty. Art to me shouldn’t be random items or random things mixed together as a painting. Art should have meaning and stories behind it or be beautiful at least.

Foundation Engineering
Maker Gear: Build your own Apron
Summary:
Making an apron was the most fun and greatest learning experience, I've done in the school year so . I learned how to use an sewing machine and how to make an apron with all of its steps. And at the end of the project, I'm fine with how my apron looks like. In my opinion, I think I did a good job for a first time.
Research:
Development:
The development of my apron was slowly growing. I had a slow start, and was a little behind, but once I understood the step I was stuck on. I went from growing slowly to exponentially.
Prototype:
The prototype was the paper outline with numbers, that told us which places to cut the apron.
Evaluate and test:
The aprons durability is strong. There're no cuts, and Sharpe things pointing out.
