Sydni and Paul Project

For our project, we decided to 3D print a sign that would say Science Leadership Academy on the front of it going from top to bottom in a futuristic font. We chose to make a sign because we thought that our school needed one, even though it isn’t very large. The sign is made out of grey plastic filament. The lights are holiday lights, which are blue and white.

We think that our sculpture is unique because we are the only group who decided to go the loyalistic route and design a sign for our school, and we also stayed true to the colors of our school; blue and white. We drew inspiration from our school’s main focus which is science, hence the font used.

We thought that the most difficult part of creating our sculpture was actually getting the lights to work, and ensuring that they were as bright as we wanted them to be. We tried using two 9.05 volt batteries to make the lights brighter, but it did not work out because we didn’t have enough wire to close the circuit. Something else that was hard for us was writing up the analysis and the artist statements because it felt like the due date snuck up and then just appeared.

An easy part of this project was stripping the wires, that was actually a fun part. Most of the project was actually relatively simple, as all it involved was simple physics and creativity.
