Final Tech Project

​The video both Talib and I made was a short learning video on the Vinyl cutter which we used for our 3rd quarter project. Using the Vinyl cutter was a little tricky because we both never used it before, but after a few lessons from Mrs. Hertz and Youtube videos we figured it all out. Now the benchmark for this quarter was based on making our own video of how to uses the Vinyl cutter which was easy. Both Talib and I created many stickers for our laptops, so just explaining how we did everything was another day on the job. We choose to make small thing first because we’re still rookies using the tool. Nevertheless I had a great time using the Vinyl cutter which I never knew we had till this year. I am planning to use it more it more next years and put big stickers all around the school.


How to Sample using FL studio 12

For my tech project I made a video on how to create a sample on FL Studio. In the first quarter I created a beat on Fl studio. This was my favorite project. I expanded upon this by learning how to sample in my free time. I took one of my favorite songs then found the tempo of the song. I then singled out the part of the song by using a plug in called slicex. After this I had to delete the everything else in the song. That is how to sample. 

Girl Garbage: Tinkercad Tutorial

For this project my design was a better way to keep the girls bathroom a cleaner, fresher, and safer place. The problem that occurs in the girls bathroom is the lack of feminine baskets.  My goal was to create waste bins and put them in each stall and create a clean fresh environment. I made my first outline/blueprint/model on Tinkercad, and thought that it would be a splendid idea to make a tutorial on how to use it.  I didn't really know how to work it at first which is also a reason I wanted to do a tutorial because it is actually a complex tech tool. Others may find it difficult as well and this could very much be a small bit of help. I felt like I learned a lot using this tool. From precise measurement, accurate angles and positioning, make me feel like I was actually building something or planning something like a real architect. I really enjoyed making this tutorial and hope that it could be beneficial to someone else.


Electric Art Project

Product:

I used my locker for this project. I used my locker because I thought it was to boring. I also wanted to make my locker look like the sky at midnight. So I thought it would have been cool to paint it blue. I think it shows that my favorite color is blue and I love the sky at night. The locker was a different approach when it came to making something light up. It carefully hides the circuit behind the door.

One point perspective

my six word memoir was " independent woman , strong believer , big dreamer" since my memoir was simple, so is my drawing. I picked this memoir because of my mom, she's independant, a strong believer that has big dreams. I didnt know how to put dreams into a room , so I just drew a simple room.

How to download / make something for the 3D printer

Making this video was fairly easy to do, after making many takes and trying to get an FLV file to convert to an mp4, I had finally got it working and my youtube video finally finished processing. I make youtube videos on my channel and doing this is not new to me. I know how these how to videos are, I have watched many tutorials on different things on a computer and this is something that I believe people should know about. I am a very fluent speaker and although my microphone might not be the best, I still got the video done.

Too Glam to Give A Darn!

My one point perspective is about a fictional character named Tiffany. Tiffany loves everything glamorous. She is your true girly girl. She has always wanted to be famous. She believes she has the personality to be a celebrity. She first noticed she had what it takes to be a celebrity when she watched home videos of herself being a complete diva at 3. She acted like her parents were the paparazzi and all. To show that she's all about the glitz and glamour, she has quotes about being fierce and a lot of glitter around in her room.

Instructional Video

I used lucidpress . I decided to use lucidpress because it is an easy tool to use and I have used lucidpress for a couple projects this year. Throughout this video you will see me explaining how to sign up for lucid press and to link your email account to the website in order for you to create your project. You have the options to make a flyer, postcard or a blank document where you can create whatever you want with it. I chose to present a flyer and showed the different ways you can customize it to make it your own. 

My room

I’ve noticed that in my life I have endured a lot of pain from my best friend going out with the girl that I liked for 5 years  to my father saying “I’m blood but no longer family”. I never realized that have been living by this 6 word memoir for almost 10 years because I noticed that every time that I have went through something tragic my higher being (Jesus) has brought me a opportunity that has benefited me and blessed me in a way that I could only imagine. For example, I was on TV being a voice for other kids that were in poverty because I wanted to be the voice for them to make a change. Opportunities like this don’t come around like this for people like me. I hope and I’m expecting new and bigger opportunities to open up for me in the future. This my 6 word memoir.

I chose this picture because not to many people that endure pain come with a alot of pleasure which is why I did my room like this with it's boring vibe.

How To Create A Room On HomeStyler

This is a instructional video to teach someone how to create and furnish a room on homestyler.com. This video was assigned from my tech teacher Ms. Hertz. The goal of this video was to teach someone how to do something, and also to learn how to use a new tool called TechSmith Snagit. TechSmith Snagit is a tool that you can download on a chrome to record you screen. It s a very useful and handy tool. On the other hand Homestyler.com is a website where you can create floor plans for different things. Some of the things you might need to create a floor plan for is a house, restaurant, or a new business office. I learned many things creating this project that will help me in my future school career. This project took me longer then expected t complete because I had to redo he recording a few times. I also had trouble working with the new application which was TechSmith Snagit. 

Spiral of Theodorus

When I created the Spiral of Theodorus it required me to use a protractor to measure for the angles and the different sizes of the triangles. You use the protractor to make sure all your triangles measure to be exactly 90 degrees. Each triangle is supposed to be 1 inch apart. For the math component of this project I used the Pythagorean theorem to check that my triangles were accurate.

One Point Perspective

All for one, One for all

My back story is when me and my friends need help with something we all help each other and try to help them and find a solution to the problem. We never like to see each other in a hard time so we try as much as we can to get them through it. That's why my 6 words are All for one, One for all cause we all help each other to become one. In my drawing I put pictures of people on the wall to represent my friends. I also choose to put a lot seats cause their is where me and my friends seat to talk about our problems.
