؜Sketch

Day 1

I sent Ms. Walrod a email about using the art room. :)

Day 2

I worked making on my laser cut and getting ready to cut it, i used the template in the middle, did the colors so that the raster and the vector are different.

Day 3

I cut the puzzle and it took the whole class because it was wood and took so long to cut. LOL ^_^

Day 4

I found a painting for the puzzle and started planning it out.

Day 5

؜I used a eboney pencil to cover the back of the picture with lead and then imprinted the picture on the puzzle.

Thanks for listening!~~

Thesis

my idea for this project is to make a growing beanstalk that is powered by a motor. The motor will turn a big gear which will grow a 3D printed beanstalk that has rivets in the side for the gears to attach and push the beanstalk up fast. As an accessory I will have the "magical beans" to "plant in the soil for the beanstalk to grow. which is just me flipping a switch in the back

؜This is what I would want it to look like in the end (A.I generated)

؜This is my first sketch of my project. It is a list of things I need but I didn't even end up using them or the idea.

Sketch 1

I had to switch my idea and sketch because I did not have time to make all of the wiring

Conceptual Precedent

؜I am making a growing beanstalk powered by gears and a motor

Technical Precedent

I would use gears to push the beanstalk up. The beanstalk would have rivets the stem for the gears to connect

These are rivets

I submitted my summary and my proposal. finished slides 3 and 4. Tomorrow I will start a rough draft and check the CCI for more supply's for the beanstalk

Day One

Day two

Today I switched my idea from a motor growing the beanstalk to a gear being turned by a button when pressed and made a new sketch. tomorrow I will start 3D printing the project and start making the gears.

Day Three

؜Today I have the motor and switch soldered together and it works. I desinged a stand for the gears to turn without them falling. Tomorrow I will make the stand and start 3D printing the beanstalk.

This is one of my ideas to make a gear stand, and it can easily be 3D printed. I will attach it to the wall with multiple gears next to it to make the motor turn all of the gears at once

can be attached to a wall

Idea One

Day four

today I made my first prototype for the stand for the big gear. I figured out that there was too much weight on the front pole (sorry for not having a picture I ripped it apart after it didn't work) so I figured out that I needed extra legs and a stronger pole for the gear. I also (with help from Ms. M) striped the wires and resoldered the motor and the switch back together.

؜Feedback

؜This is some of my feedback from my mid review

1. I could make the "magical beans" be facts
2. Could I gamify it
3. Switch to servo motors (not DC) Make growing slower
4. Prove concept manually check that my gears work
5. could the gears pull the beanstalk up like on a fishing line.

؜Thesis

؜For this project I will create the gear set for the people called Mistborn in my book. Mistborn are people who can use all of the Allomantic metals/powers, making them very formidable. To interact with the audience, I will most likely act like a merchant of sorts selling the mistborn gear. The audience could also try on the gear set including the cloak, belt and the things on the belt like vials.

؜Day 1

؜Today I finished the Allomantic vials. I printed the vials (model top right) with translucent PETG filament on my 3D printer. The symbols are drawn with Sharpie on a piece of tape. The corks are just cardboard rolls. Inside the vials are bits of aluminum foil (on the right) to simulate the Allomantic metals in the vials.

؜Iron vial

؜Pewter vial

؜Steel vial

؜Day 2

؜Today I designed and laser cut the coins for the coin pouch. Each coin has a symbol for one of the 8 base Allomantic metals. There are 16 coins in total, so there are two of each type of symbol. On the bottom right you can see the design of all the coins in Cuttle. To the right, you can see all of the coins labeled with what symbol is on them. The coins are made of wood so they would be more durable and look cooler.

؜Day 3

؜In today's class I worked on the pouch for the coins. My first prototype was just fabric and string through some holes. However, it didn't look good and it wasn't really working. For my second prototype I simplified the design. I made a rectangle pouch by folding a piece of rectangular fabric and hot gluing the sides. To close the pouch, I added a simple string using hot glue to tie a knot. The pouch can store all the coins quite easily as you can see on the left.

؜Day 4

؜Today (Saturday) I worked on the Mistborn cloak. Everything is mainly just ribbon and sewn with string. The top isn't sewn too well, so some string appears there. You can wear the cloak by tying it to your neck.

؜Day 5

؜Today I made the glass daggers of the Mistborn set. I designed the daggers based on the image on the right. The daggers are made out of acrylic to simulate the glass part of the dagger. There are two holes in the daggers and engravings on the side. I made add a grip later to make the daggers stronger and better.

I am making a robot dog that can open its chest like a door for a smaller one to come out with a touch of a button. It will also say the name of the dog on the back of it.

Press the button to make it move.

I could not take a picture, but I made the main frame of the dog.

I did not laser cut it yet. Because i had to connect it all together.

This is the final design of the dog. The frame is done. I will laser cut and connect later.

I added more detail. I also added the name and book. It still did not work.

The final dogs are ready. I will laser cut it on Monday.

I made it a 3D model.

Explanation

I am making 2-3 objects from the "His Dark Materials" series. The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass, and The Alethiometer each object appears one at a time in one book to another. I am planning to make one physical object(The Amber Spyglass) and one gam(The Subtle Knife), but I am not sure what to do for the Alethiometer.

Today I worked on designing a spyglass in Tinkercad. It was very hard to make the ridges on my spyglass because they had to have a specific shape, and there would always be gaps if you made them incorrectly. I am planning to make the engravings next.

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

I have made some progress on my game, and I am planning to make a few more levels later. It was kind of hard making the Character jump, and deciding what to add in my game is proving to be difficult

Day 4

Today we just did mid-reviews, so no picture or anything.

Day 5

Today, we spent half of the class doing mid-reviews, but I was able to remove most of the supports from my 3D print.

Day 1

This is my dogs head. This is what I completed in day 1.

Day 2

After I made the head I added a body.

Day 3

Day 4

My old dog didn't work so I made a new one.

Day 4 (continued)

This is my human to go with the dog.

Feedback

؜Voice recording or memo to help more present the idea that they are switching the brains.

More characters added on to COG and PROTO.

Take one more step in the project.

Day 1

Today I started working on the shelves that will hold the moths.

؜Today I finished the shelf for the clowns and at home im starting the structure for the main building.

Day 2

Day 3

Today I started and finished putting together the base now the roof.

Day 4

؜Today I started laying down paper to five the roof some color

and finished stabilizing the cardboard.

Day 5

Today in class we finished mid-reviews and I got some feed back. Feedback: Maybe make it smaller, use motors to reset the moths, and part the moths.

Plan/Thesis

I plan to teach my people about my book with a timeline. The timeline has buttons along it, and the audience will interact and tap each of them to play a different audio recording that talks about certain events

Sketch

؜Day 1 Progress

Today using Chatgpt I figured out what components I need to make my project work and the code.

؜I started designing what will hold the components on cuttle.

Day 1 Progress

Day two progress

For day two I decided to use the app Audacity to record the audio. I also decided to use a ai voice and start the timeline script.

Day 3 Progress

Today I finished making the script for the timeline and recording 3 of the parts of the timeline using a AI voice.

I finished recording everything so it is ready. I plan to start coding the Arduino and getting the speakers and buttons

Day 4 Progress

؜Feedback

Glows

Day 5 Progress

Today I downloaded the 7 MP3 files to an SD card and got buttons and a mini MP3 player. Second, I designed the box on Cuttle.

؜What is my project about

؜My project is an I Spy project where contestants have to find words that I hide around a small model house. This is interactive because in the book citizens across the town look for words from before the flood.

Work Day one

For my Fessy con, today I worked on the rules and directions on how to play. You have to find words inside the house, for further information read the docs

Work Day Two

Today I finished all of my directions and the words that the contestant would have to find. I started my first prototype made out of card board.

Work Day Three

I finished my first prototype and I can start my final. it has the furniture needed for the final project.

Work Day Four

Today I finished the bed of my final project. Nico and I worked together to make the six wooden boards on cuttle.

Work day 5

Today since I did my mid review, and went to the book fair, I really did not do anything to enhance my project.
