This shows the process I will take to complete my project.
This shows the tools I will use to complete my project.
These are my research idea for my wood model project. I'm mainly thinking of making a kind of shelf to put up in my room. I'll likely add a few details and designs to this as well.
For my project I will be using the Biscuit Jointer, Planer, Scroll Saw, and Orbital Sander.
Today I started on constructing my project. First, I used to table saw to cut 3" inch pieces of wood. Next, I used the miter saw to cut them into lengths of 8" x 3". Finally, I used glue and the nail gun to hold my pieces of wood together.
Today I make the other half of my project using the same tools as last time. I also cut out some additional parts to possibly make another smaller model.
Today I put together my two parts and attempted to put together the additional ones. An attempt was made but I ended up scrapping the idea.
Today I used the band saw to cut out the back for my project. Then I used glue to hold it together as I nailed it inplace.
Today I spray painted my model black, white, and gray. It didn't turn out how I wanted it to so I will probably redo it at a later date.
This is my project. It is a shelf shaped like a hexagon. The project size constraints were to be less than 18" x18" x18" and the final dimensions of my project are 16" x 16"" x3". It was expected that my project was made of 6 or more parts. My project is made out of 7 parts. I give my craftsmanship a 9/10 for this project because certain edges are sticking out. What I'm most proud of is how my craftsmanship went because of the end design of my project.
Today we learned that we are going to design a geometric motion lamp.
Above are the constraints for the project. I noted that there are some additional constraints that will need to be accomplished for my project to be considered advanced.
I wrote above are the steps we will take for the electronics/coding for the project.
Above are the steps we will take for the Physical Enclosure of the project.

 These are my four sketches for my LED project.
This is my Pico blinking in a 4 like pattern.
This is my Pico with 5 blinking lights.
This my Pico with 6 blinking lights.
I got my neopixel to work.
This is the drawing I used to claim my form for my Geolamp.
This is what I made so I could print out my pieces
This is my wood model.
This is the program we used to make our shape and measurements for our cuts.
This is the tool we used to actually make our cuts.
This is a part of my code that I used for my pico Geolamp project,
The Images above are photos of my wood model
This is my final project made from wood with all lights in and blinking.
This is the basic start process of the engineering path year.
This is a simple way to practice tool safety.
This are the skills we need to learn and do consistently during this project.
This is our first attempt at using the bandsaw this year. We were cutting out puzzle pieces
This is our second attempt at using the bandsaw this year. We were cutting out lines that could possibly be made into a see like background.
We have now been trained how to use a bandsaw responsibly. Here are some of the things you should do and shouldn't do.
DO
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
CUT SLOWLY.Â
CLEAN AS YOU GO / VACUUM AFTER USING
DON'T DO
LEAVE MORE THAN THE NECESSARY AMOUNT OF BLADE EXPOSED.Â
LEAVE THE SAW OPERATING AND STEP AWAY FROM THE SAW.
USE THE SAW WITHOUT FIRST ASKING TEACHERÂ
DO
WEAR EAR PROTECTION
ONLY USE WOOD THAT IS 1'16" OR LESS THICK
GO SLOW
DON'T
PUT YOUR FINGERS NEAR IT
NOT USE EAR PROTECTION
USE WITHOUT PERMISSION
DO
WEAR EAR PROTECTION
CUT SLOW
KEEP HAND ON THE SAW TIL IT STOPS SPINNING
DON'T
CUT WHILE A CHORD IS UNDER THE SAW
CUT WOOD THAT IS TOO SHORT
PUT HAND UNDER BLADE

This is my wood after using the miter saw.
8/16 Today we learned we are customizing our bandsaw boxes with stenciled names. We also practiced this.
8/18 Today we are gluing together our wood
8/23 Today are wood into 4 pieces for the box.
This my attempt at spray paining practice,
This is my 3d printed nod that I created in tinkercad.
These are all of my pieces after using the bandsaw.
This is from us putting our box back together after cutting it into pieces
This is from us sanding the box smooth.
I glued my knob on to the lid on my box.
I spray painted my name on to my box.
I stained my box and finished all parts of my project.
Today in class we are going to take apart this camera. We know that this camera can do:
I think that these things will be inside: Motherboard, Glass dome, Copper Wires, Screws, LAN Cable, Camera, Lens
I used the planner so smoothen my base.
I used the table saw to cut the legs for my table.
I used the sander to smoothen my wood. Then I used the nail gun to put my pieces together.
I used the table saw to cut my wood for my legs pieces. I also used the miter saw tocut my wood into the pieces for my front and back parts on my table.
