This was one of my other ideas, it would be a replica of the Astrophage sampler from the book, I just made this in case the microscope doesn't work out
My idea is to make a microscope showing pond organisms to represent Taumoeba from Project Hail Mary along with a "top secret file" to explain the plot of the novel.
This is my sketch, it is showing a microscope with amoebas representing Taumoeba. The feedback I got says to include a "file" and some customization to the microscope to make it look cooler.
This is my technical precedent, it is a zero gravity microscope designed for use in space. I wanted to recreate this for my project because a microscope like this is included in Project Hail Mary so I wanted to recreate it for my project.
This is Taumoeba, a fictional alien organism from Project Hail Mary. I wanted to use this as a conceptual precedent as they can easily be recreated with amoebas, a creature from earth. I wanted to combine this with the microscope to make a visual experience where the audience can see the Taumoeba.
Day 1:
Today I started work on my "top secret file" for my project. I also sent Mrs. Dilly an email asking for microscope permission.
Day 2:
I have made more progress on the "top secret file" ( By making some stickers)today! I think I will start work on the microscope tomorrow.
Day 3:
Today I sent ANOTHER email asking to borrow a microscope because it turns out I need to ask Mr. Danziger to borrow it. I have also made progress on my "file"
Day 4:
Today I finished my classified document and sent myself my backup project (a really fun game). My game consists of 5-6 levels (haven't played it in a while), all of which are based off events from the book
Today I printed out my *new stickers and also FINALLY got my microscope, I also talked to Mrs. Dilly about how I will get my amoeba/pond organisms and she said she woll provide me with 1-3 glass slides but that if there is a pond near my house (which there is) I should just get a jar, go to the pond, and scoop up a ton of water and dirt and then put some samples on the slides.
Day 6:
Today I tested my backup project since Ms. Dilly said I need to wait until last period so she has time to make the slide. It works really well and I had some people try it.
