9th Grade Learing 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.

8/9/23 Drawing in engineering

First ever 3D cube drawn in engineering class
notice how i was much worse at shading

First Day of Phone holder sketching
notice how i had trouble with the slot

Second Day of Phone holder sketching
notice how the slot looks much better

First ever Box drawn in engineering class
notice how the shading is much better than before

using lines to make a box look empty
notice how the shading needs some work

first try at doing a cylinder
notice how i was incapable of making good curved lines

unfinished first try at drawing 3d words
notice the difference between the Y and the E

using lines to make 2d objects
notice how the jar looks 3d, without the lines it looks bland and 2d

multiple hollow boxes around a center vanishing point

notice how the colored boxes look far more 3d than the non coloed box

Pyramid Practice around a center vanishing point
notice the 3d aspects without shading

curved lines practice
(appologies the image isnt working very well in google sites)
notice how the lines curve

cylander 3d line practice
notice how it lookes like a cylander using just the lines

hollow box practice
(hard to tell due to google sites)
notice how it looks like you can see through it

Infinity mirror box prototype

I used maker case to get the blueprint SVG file for glowforge, I had to use a screwdriver and mechanical pencil to create the holes due to the inkscape not working properly. I made 5 of the six sides in glowforge out of cardboard, and made 1 side ( the top ) out of clear acrylic. To get the infinity mirror effect you need a mirror inside of the box on the bottom and a double sided mirror inside the box on top so it bounces off each other and and creates the effect.
