We chose to build a duck because building a duck was the first thing that came to mind. This project would challenge as building wise and give us a chance to push ourselfs. We felt that building a duck would exceed the project expectations. We thought it played into our everyday lives in a way we could take very much pride into it. We will be very proud of this from and for a long time.
For my physics project, I decided to make a figure lights up and still be able to spin. I chose to do this because I believed that it would be a simple task to do and if I did it right, it would get me a good grade. It turns out that it wasn’t as simple as I thought. I ended up running into many casualities such as not being able to spin the spinner. It took a lot of thought but I finally figure it out. I decided to glue a stick onto the spinner so that I could hold it and be able to spin it. What this says about me is that I get bored very easily and I always require something to do or else, I won’t know what to do with myself.
We built this specific design because we wanted to challenge to test our engineering skills. We wanted the design to be based off of a superhero that we both liked, It was flash. We wanted to paint it flash colors but we only had blue lights, so we went with Flash’s enemy Zoom. So the colors changed from the yellow lighting bolt with all red, to blue lighting bolt with all black. Then it was time to put our engineering skills to work.
We chose to create party caps. We decided that creating “Lit Caps” would be a great idea, because it represents me and Dorien’s relationship as best friends; its lit. Dorien is also known for wearing variety of hats, therefore we thought it was a good idea to put our personal likings in our project.
I was very excited to use my Christmas snow globe on this project. I choose the snow globe because I collect them. Ever since I was little I would always ask for them every time I went somewhere that's all I wanted. I choose this one in particular because it has a Christmas tree inside and we had to use Christmas lights for this project. This snow globe means a lot to me because it is one of the first ones I got when I was 8 years old.
We chose to do a computer as a sculpture because we are very connected to it in almost every aspect of our live and are just huge fans of computers and using them. It is the best instrument of having fun, doing homework/school work, and netflix. It shows that are modern and like to adventure through the internet.
