I am planning to make a helmet. It relates to my book, Artemis Fowl because there is a magic police force called the LEP, and one of the main characters is part of it and I am making her helmet.

These are my precedents:

This is a prop from the Artemis Fowl movie. It is my conceptual precedent because it is exactly what I am trying to make.

This is my technical precedent. I am using the template it gives in the video and just not adding the front face part. I am also making it out of foam instead of cardboard.

This was (part of) my first sketch on day 1

My idea is to make a helmet out of foam, then cut and glue the foam to make it.

Day 2

I got the foam for the helmet. Now I am going to start trying to figure out how to make it. Science Bob used to do the same when making other helmets, so I am going to see if any of the CCI staff know how.

Work Day 3:

Ms.Cook sent me two links for a DIY helmet and I think I am going to use the second one, just cutting off the front part:

Work Day 4

I made the first half of the first iteration out of cardboard. I am going to start to make the other half, then make it out of foam for the final!

Work Day 5

I cut out the other half of the first iteration of the helmet

It was not really work day but I still worked on it in Middle Makers:

I finnished the other half of the prototype helmet and I am going to glue them together next time.

I am building a house from the story to represent the story in different ways in one scene.

My project has come with many challenges. Some of them are hard to overcome and take a while to complete. My hardest challenge was building the roof for the side room on my house. The measurements were different on each side so I had to measure numerous times and I had to redo the roof twice. But in the end I succeeded and it turned out great.

My book was my iteration because it inspired me to make a house from the book.

Thankyou for Watching

For my Fessy Con project, I plan to make a board game about the book Dragon Run

Some things that inspired this project was the Monopoly board game. It inspired the main shape of the board and the dungeon tiles. (Jail tiles)

(even though there aren't any money in the game)

Another notable piece of inspiration is the map of the book Dragon Run(can be found like, near the front of the book)

The area where the board game is based off will be this central area, near Castle Surflinne as that is where the dragons go to at the end of the book.

I will also try to include the river near the castle in the board game.

My technical precedent is the website instructables.com. The website laid out the structure of my board game as it showed the process of making a successful board game. I followed the steps and the website gave me the idea of 3-D printing my own game pieces.

Day 1

I made a sketch of what my board game was going to look like when it is finished. The board would be made of paper, the cards made of cardstock, and there would be a cardboard dragon in the middle. I would color the tiles and cards with colored pencils/markers. The pieces and die would be 3D printed.

Day 2

I began 3D printing the pieces and made the game board. I will probably actually DRAW OUT the game board next time.

I am planning to print out this picture --->

next to put it in the middle of the game board to make it look cool.

Day 3

Today I completely finished the Tinkercad for the pieces and die for the board game and printed the pieces and cut out the supports. I will make the game board next time.

(Didn't print dragon, will do that next time)

Day 4

Today I made the board for the game (I didn't complete this yet, there are still missing aspects)

I lost the die in a Middle Makers class, so I need to print a new one.

I printed the dragon too, but it was the wrong size so I'll have to print again.

Day 5

Today I used Sketchpad to make the cards for my board game. I then put the pictures onto a google doc to print in the future.

I made cards for both the Red and Blue teams.

So in total I've made great progress on my project so far and I hope to make it look as great as possible for the Fessy Con event!

Thank You For Listening! :)

I plan to creat a board game. In the board game there will be 4 settings ocean, land mud and sky. That is the main idea of my project.
