In this project, my class and I all cut one piece of wood, and in this picture, I have my piece. We all worked together and practiced cutting to make sure our pieces were cut well enough so the next person could cut their piece. We all collaborated on this very well.

Here is one of many examples of where I cut my wood using the bandsaw. In this picture, it was an example of me cutting out the middle, but I also cut out the sides and the top; I just don't have a picture. 

This is the after of me cutting off the sides of my box using the bandsaw. I had to be very careful and precise. 

Here, I used the clamps to put together all my pieces except the top. I used special wood glue to make this happen.

This is the knob I created using TinkerCad for my Bandsaw Box final. This way I can open up my box with the knob. I used an SD card for this. 

Here, we used staining tools to give our wood boxes a darker shade to make them look fully finished.

This is my box completely dried after staining it. From here, my box is almost done.

Here, my pico is moving very slowly due to it being at 0.5. The reason it's slower than the faster one is that anything below 1 goes faster, and anything above it will usually go much slower. 

This is the fast blinking light, and I explained how it goes faster on the left. This was at a speed of 0.2 while the speed on the slow blink was 0.5. Even though they're both below 1, 0.2 is smaller than 0.5, making it faster. 

Here, I connected my code to my MU editor, and this code made the light orange flash. I had to plug in my wires in the right placements, such as GND and Gp14, while also saving my python code, and this made it light up.

My LED lights are alternating between red, green, and yellow, mirroring what a stoplight does. There is a wait time that shows even more similarity! I plugged my wires into their correct spots according to Pico's instructions, and I added my LED lights.

I drew 5 shapes that were candidates to be my geometric shape lamp. I had to do them from the vanishing point and add 14-16 LED lights. I chose the star out of these.

I chose the star for my lamp. I drew it on graph paper and did the measurements on how to split it apart in 3D. I need one star and 10 rectangles to achieve this.

This is my star in 3D, and I added all the LED lights that I wanted to position in the final piece.  I put it from the vanishing point once again and added rectangles to make it 3D.

This is me beginning to cut out my prototype. A challenge that I repeatedly faced was drawing and cutting out the shape of the star, but I hope for my final piece, the star is better. In this prototype, it's still off, but I expect to improve. 

This is my star with the 10 rectangles attached and the first star taped down.

This is my star fully taped with 2 stars and 10 rectangles. I left an opening area to fit in my coding attributes.

This is my star and rectangle shape I inputted into GlowForge, the laser cutting system. 

This is my prototype unassembled, and it came from the glowforge connecting to the laser cutter. 

Using the pieces from the lazer cutter, I assembled a prototype of my star. 

This is showing some of the lights I have connected to my Pico to create the coding for my project. I made a sheet planner that shows where all my lights will go using coding and symbols.

This is an example of 3 stars I drew out to show ideas of where I can place my lights when I fully construct my code. For the first, it goes in and out. The next, it moves around and repeats, and lastly, it move around different places.

This is my next prototype I made using glowforge with a different kind of material.

This is what I put into GlowForge to print out my final prototype.

This is my final wood design and prototype that I am going to use to display my lights.
