Pencil/Pen Holder
A lot of my teachers have dilpidated pen holders that havent been replaced since the beginning of the year
Desk Name
Also recommended by Ms. Ruffin, very useful for the beginning of the year allowing students to familiarize themselves with the teacher
Idea development

I have come to the conclusion that I will combine the Pencil/Pen Holder with the Desk Name. This will mix the creativity as well as the functionailty of the gift.

2A Ms. Ruffins Foundations of Engineering
The biggest challenge I faced while doing this project was having to change where I was going to make my flower. Originally I intended on making it in onscape but I had to change to inkscape and learn how to use that. I chose my flower because it was the prettiest one out of the four I chose. It symbolizes Strength, Resilience, and Rebirth Talk about the connection of craftsmanship, nature and art This project connects craftsmanship by our recreation, we are using engineering concepts to create an artistic perspective on nature. This relates to SITNP because the concept of it is growth and that is what we are recreating. Our material was plywood. Finally I used a laser cutter to complete this project.
