A Brief Introduction
A Brief Introduction
The Message Box project was an exciting hands-on experience that introduced me to the world of woodworking in the Fimbel workshop. As someone with little to no prior exposure to woodworking, this project challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and develop new skills while creating something tangible and functional. The process involved learning to use various tools, including a Japanese saw and power drill, as well as gaining an understanding of precise measurements and assembly techniques. Beyond the technical aspects, the project emphasized creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration, making it a valuable and memorable learning experience. This reflection explores how the project connected to themes of belongingness, self-efficacy, and the impact of a supportive environment.

// MessageBlox program controls a lantern

// shows a rainbow pattern and stays on light blue
// on pin A2 touch, plays a fun sound and cycles the lights
// on pin A6 touch, turns off the light
let colorIndex = 0 // starting color
// rainbow colors to cycle cyan to purple to red to green
