A design/engineering strength that I have is being willing to struggle and have patience.

An area of growth I think I could have is sharing my ideas more often. 

For my documentation of my learning and projects, I want to have many clear pictures, be easy to follow, and be well organized.

My partner is Nico. We decided to choose the danger laser sign as our PCB because for starters we have never seen it been done. It also has one of the easier setups for our ideas where you will still be able to figure out what it is while having the resistor, coin, etc.

This is my final idea for my speaker. I'm still trying to figure out how long I want the sides to be.

• What materials are you thinking of using? For my design, I was thinking of using acrylic and wood.

• What are you uncertain about in terms of how the project will fit and hold together? I'm a bit uncertain if the acrylic will stay and be stable enough to put jewelry on it.

It was kinda hard for me to keep the side flaps to stay in place. the box will be wood and the side flaps will be acrylic. I believe I will add a triangle under the acrylic to hold it up.

I worked with Natalie. I did all of the connections on the schematic and natalie did the organized the board and fixed my errors. I deepened my understanding on how the circuit works

Brock and I programmed it to based on how loud you talk it turns a different gradiant of red. So the quieter the more red, the louder the more yellow

Simone and I solved the problem on how to add text to the screen. we changed the part of the code that wrote the text. 

the last code we were in the middle of working on was: https://github.com/LWHSTechnicalArts/AandD_Digital_Project/blob/main/pixel_grid_basic.py

I could figure out how to get the text to scroll the whole way. I ended up making some of the numbers larger so because I found out that since its so long I needed to make it have more time.

I plan on not combining my digital project to my speaker. I plan on using the Feather ESP32-S2. I am going to make it a digital clock so I can keep track of time.

This is my ciruit board that I created unsoldered.

This is my PCB board that is a replica-ish of a DANGER LASER sign. I worked on this design with Nico.

I learned a lot more about the importance of what you solder and how you do it. It's better to take your time and do it nice and slow and right than rush through it and end up having your circuit not work.

I am close to done. All I need to do is close the top and add the acrylic on the side

What did you make? I made a speaker that can hold jewelry. Thinking about the work you created, what are you most satisfied with this semester? I'm satisfied that it makes a great sound. If you were to start over, knowing what you know, what would you do differently? I think I would make it a bit more complicated because I had simplified mine thinking I would not be able to do some of my other ideas. What is a lesson from this class that you will take with you and use in future projects? I learned a lot about working through problems and problem solving and time management.

I was able to make a clock with the time date and day. I had a challenge in the beginning because it would not show up at all. After all, there was something wrong with the code.
