In this project we had to make a soap that was 2-3 inches in length and 1-1.5 inches in height to some one special person in our life. For this project I choose my dad to make the soap for I decided to make either something video game related or something neuroscience related.
For my designs I choose either a video game controller or a neuron. and choose the neuron and used the catchphrase "are you a neuron? Because you're firing up my brain
This is my first design for my soap. Overall it looked okay but I had to change how tall the deign was. I also didn't like where the are was because it was to close to the edge of the circle so I moved it closer to the center. Also I wanted to change the neurons circle to be shorter than it was because I though it wasn't deep enough

This is my second design and my final design. It was pretty good and i think it looked really good overall.

After I finished and printed the final design we used a silicone mold to mold the design. First we used a covering layer to capture all of the details. Then we used the remaining silicone to make the walls around it.

After the silicone mold finished drying I noticed that it had a few errors in the mold and I used some extra silicone to fix the errors.

After I fixed the mold I choose to make a blue soap with the vanilla scent.

Soul Reflection-
S- I think some of my strengths were that I came u with the idea relatively quickly which is not what I usually do.
O- Some of my opportunities to improve my project is adding some more details
U- some things I learned in this project is that i learned how to space text better so it looks good
L- some limitations we had during the project is that there were not enough printer for everyone to print consistently every time they needed to print
WISCR Reflection- In this project I used S (self-motivated) and R (respect to my peers) I was self motivated because I did this project by my self and did not need any extra motivation. I respected my peers by not judging them when they needed help
