a design/engineering strength: One design/engineering strength I have is creating a thorough prototype that I can easily follow.
a design/engineering area of growth: One design/engineering area of growth that I have is often overcomplicating and overthinking what I want to do in the ideation process.
Be consistent with updating my documentation to ensure that all progress and ideas are captured in their entirety.
Organize my documentation with clear sections and make it easier to follow and understand.
Include reflections on the parts of my work that did and didn't work, noting what I learned.
PCB Ideation
PCB Ideation
The design that we chose was a skull design. We chose this design because Lazlo was passionate about it and thought it would look cool. We also thought that it would be easy to map out were the LEDs, battery, and resistors would go.

We made a skull with silkscreen teeth and eye sockets. We decided to place our LEDs in the eyes and on the chip. We then chose to place our resisters on where the silkscreen teeth were. I worked on this project with my partner Lazlo. I remember that the different parts of the circuit board like the LEDs, resiters, battery and switch are connect through ingrained copper wires so that it can complete the circuit.
3 Favoirte Design Ideas for Speaker
3 Favoirte Design Ideas for Speaker
My favorite design that I made was the hexagonal cat design with a tiny aquarium at the bottom of the cat. I also decently liked the robot design but I'm really leaning towards the first design that I outlined.
Post-it Feedback
Post-it Feedback
Some feedback that I have to keep in mind when creating my speaker is where the speakers will go for my hexagonal box cat. I was originally planning on placing the speakers as the eyes but considering the size of the speakers I might have to reconsider the design. Another thing that came up in the post-it note feedback was the time consumption that either of my two ideas will take. I realize that both of them will require a large time commitment and will be difficult to commit to so I will explore switching to something simpler.

I believe this is an excellent design in meeting my growth goals because it will likely be a simpler design meaning that I will be able to map out where I want most of the stuff to go.
I'm challenging my current skill set by challenging myself to use the laser cutter to create wood cut outs because I've never used them before.

The head will be 3D printed in a gray or white filament.
The body will be made of wood prefitted together.

My idea is a speaker shaped like a robot
From my prototype, I was able to make sure that everything would be able to fit in the real thing when I eventually created it
My design does not need any modifications as of now.
Amp Circuit
Amp Circuit
From creating the Amp Circuit I am now better able to read schematics and understand what everything puts into just from looking at it.
I am still kind of confused with the way that the Bluetooth works and google says that It uses a Bluetooth antenna to receive the signal from your phone or music player and then sends it to the audio system.

I worked with Safiya and Raya. During the process of making the PCB, I learned more about the board design and the schematic. I also learned the use of each component on the broad and how they connected.

Our orginal idea was a skull which resistors as teeth. I worked together with Lazlo to create this design and it came out pretty good so I'm very happy with the result.
