Space is the New Place

My group and I created an immersive experience using AI-generated videos, hand-drawn art, and 3D visuals. I was most proud of the 3D models because we worked hard to make them look real. Our project showed the theme of growth by how the characters and story changed over time, and by how we learned new skills. We used technology like AI tools, drawing apps, and 3D software to complete the project. We also used AR, which let people view our 3D visuals in real space through a phone. Animation was new to me, but I enjoyed learning how to make things move and look more alive. Compared to other experiences, ours was simple but creative, and I was proud of what we made. 

The theme of this year was "Grow," so I focused on showing growth in nature and the environment. I created multiple designs that represented life, plants, and biomes where animals live and grow. One of my main builds was a greenhouse, which showed how plants grow in a protected space. I added details like clear walls, plants inside, and lighting to make it feel alive. I also built a red barn to represent a farm where animals live and grow.

Another part of my project was a large swamp. I made it using leaves, branches, and different colors to show the variety of life in a swamp environment. I added lights to the swamp to make it glow and feel more real. It helped make the whole experience more immersive and eye-catching.

To make it even more creative, I made two large bottles of “Slurp Juice,” inspired by a video game. I put lights inside each bottle so they would light up from the inside and stand out in the dark. The lights in all parts of my project helped bring everything together and made the whole experience more fun and appealing. Everything I created showed growth in a different way, from plants to animals to even creative ideas.
