Engineering

Craftmanship is the quality of your project or for example how good and or neat your project is. In my opinion I believe my craftsmanship rating is an 8/10. It could've been better because my wood isn't all the way even, my heart isn't centered on my name, and I have a few spots of stain on the inside of my name.

Sketching helped me plan my box and help with my measurements to I can have an idea of how my box was going to come out.
The Table Saw helped me even the sides of my wood and box out and make my wood cleaner.
The planer helps make the wood even on the top, it can make it thinner, and it can help make it smooth.
The Biscuit Joiner played a big role in assembling the box because this is one of the first steps to make the sides of your box.
The clamps helped with making the sides say together while they dried.
The Miter Saw helped cut the wood to make our sides and to make my sides even.
Sanding helped my craftmanship because it help make my box look cleaner from wood glue, wood puddy, etc...
. The CNC machine is where my name was printed out for my box.
Wood puddy helped fill all the wholes in my box to make it even all over.
The Nail Gun helped me assemble my box and actually put all of the sides together
For the finishing product I sanded all of the glue and wood puddy off then I stained the my entire box red and black and added hinges.

Helped me make my heart for my name

Helped me assemble my box

Helped me make my wood sides

If I wanted to make my box something I would do differently was take my time on putting my box sides together and picked out better pieces of wood, I would do this because some of the wood pieces were uneven, thicker than one another had holes in them.

Homecoming Lantern

For this project, I made a laser-cut lantern for Homecoming with the theme "50 Years of Hip Hop." I used shapes and patterns to show off the style of hip hop and made sure to include a design element and principle.

Wood Coaster Design

In engineering, I made a wooden coaster using tools and measurements to shape and sand it. It was a fun hands-on project that taught me how to work with wood and use equipment safely.

Infinity Mirror Project

Here is the project brief for our infinity mirror project.

Project Constraints

Here are the project constraints/ requirements for our project.

First, I sketched out my idea on paper and made my cut this.

Then I went on onshape to make my sketch with how big I wanted it then with the help of Ms.White she used the CNC machine to cut it out.

Final product after painting putting the led lights in and putting film on the acrylic.

Then I soldered my wires to the LED and coded it so the lights to the colors I wanted

How can we apply physics to understand how our infinity mirror works? Describe how an infinity mirror works?

An infinity mirror works using reflection and refraction. It has a regular mirror and a one-way mirror with LED lights in between. The lights bounce back and forth, and some light passes through the one-way mirror, making it look like the lights go on forever. The LEDs make their own light, and refraction helps us see them through the glass.

To make the holes for my light to go through I used a pencil to push through the cardboard. I used glow forge to laser cut the cardboard squares so I can assemble them, lastly one mirror needed to go at the bottom of the prototype and one mirror needed to go on the top acrylic part of the prototype.

Research

Idea devolpment / Sketch/ Final product

This is the sketch of planter. My idea was to make my planter a rain cloud over my plant so when you water it the water comes through the cloud and waters the plant.

First I used the miter saw to cut out the back part which was three different pieces of wood that were 10 inches tall and the length was 5 inches. Then I glued the three pieces together so it can be 3 inches wide. Also I had to make the bottom piece so the plant could stand up. Lastly, I made the cloud, I traced it out on wood then I used the rotor to cut it out and it made 2 so it could be wide enough.

Finally I glued everything together and put the plant on top.

Personal Box

For this project I had to assemble and design a box. First I made my cut list and sketch, I cut the pieces of wood out, assembled the pieces together, finally I painted.

Infinity Mirror

This is an infinity mirror that I also made using a cnc machine to make the heart shape and I coded to make the lights those colors.

Planter

I made a planter for the immersive experiment that represents growth. The planter symbolizes how things develop and change over time, just like living plants do.

Valentines Coasters

For Valentine’s Day, we did a small project where we made coasters as gifts for our families. It was a creative and thoughtful way to show our love and appreciation.
