Austin Heng Capstone

Posted by Austin Heng in Capstone on
​For our capstone, we taught a mini course based on the processes of game design. We had data compiled from junior year and senior year to get as much experience as we could. We looked up certain things like teaching methodology and how a class is run and how we should convey our information. Our capstone process involved a lot of testing to see how we could give information to the bright young minds of SLA. I do believe that the many sessions we had, we really got involved in learning what it is to be an educator, and as someone who wants a career in computer science I enjoyed setting up programs for the kids and trying to find new ways for them to collaborate. Each week we learned new things about how to handle teaching and I learned what it is like to try and provide curriculum that I know to other people. Yes there were some students that I had to learn how to deal with correctly, but I was still able to get through to them and make the learning experience for them great. The parts where we had to teach them how to use the program Minecraft in year one, was the year that really stuck with me the most because we had to learn what it is to change an operating system on their machines. I really enjoyed year 1 because of all the hands on computer stuff we did.

Q2 Botany compost bin and base

Posted by Austin Heng in Botany · Aziz · y1 on
​
  1. What is your project about? Describe the process you used to accomplish your goals. Look back at the steps you had to take in your checkpoints. Describe your landscape architecture company and what your clients had asked for. How did you accomplish your goals and meet your clients' desire? Hint: Green Design Research
My project is about collecting biodegradable items for a compost bin and making sure we have fertilizer for other students plants. We have a base that we tie the trash can to an we can tie the trash can to the hooks on the base with wheels at the bottom. Our project is to help out other students in the future, people have said they needed to collect compost so we are going to build a device for them to use when they need it.

2. What does a plant need to thrive? Describe how the design of your project took into account the needs of the plant you are planting in your design (i.e. water, nutrition, temperature, safety, amount of sunlight).
A plant needs soil, sunlight, water and air. we are helping others by providing soil and fertilizer for them to keep their plants healthy. some plants don't need water but most do, and 


3.Describe what affects a plant's design based on what you have learned from your past assignments. Hint: look back at BozemanScience: Plants Video, Nature’s Blueprint: Solar cells inspired by plant cells, Fall Leaves Infographic, What determines a plant's design?
you need certain prerequisites and certain conditions for a plant to show growth. if you don't have the correct soil, or the correct weather conditions the plant could die. We learned that compost doesnt need anything done to it except soil added and then just compiled biodegradable items


4.In what ways are the plant's design and the design of your project similar? Think about what affected the overall design of your project and also the development of plants. 

We have the soil and other items to help nourish plants. The compost is different from actual plants, there arent many similarities because it helps to grow plants and isnt a plant itself. Thinking of similarities, the actually trash can is like the stem of the plant protecting the plants cells inside. 

5. After doing the Green Design, how do you perceive the relationship between nature and technology? Why? Remember to define nature and technology in your own terms. 

We are taking old plants from nature and re-purposing them. We are making them help out the growth of other plants. Technology is anything created by man. We created the base and we have a trashcan created by man. 


6.Overall, what did your group do well in the project? What could your group improve on?

We did well incorporating the thing Mr.Johnson wanted, a trash can holder, and a compost bin that we wanted. We had a hard time in the makerspace because so many people were working at one time. We were all struggling to do things in a timely manner because of other problems. I wish we had more time in the maker space and more wood to make the pillars and base we wanted. we wanted to make a door to protect the trashcan inside but there wasnt enough large pieces of wood.

Q2 Land Pollution PSA

Posted by Austin Heng in Environmental Science · Aziz · D on

This PSA talks about the potential dangers of littering, illegal dumping and the after effects of when people don’t take care of the environment. There are many different things I see people my age do that I don’t like which is why I chose this particular issue. This PSA is how to get their attention to stop harming the world we live in. My group worked diligently and we made sure we spent as much time as we could perfecting the video. I spent a lot of time thinking of ways I could write the script and made sure I edit the video a certain way, giving the viewer a good presentation. I liked being able to make people laugh at our script

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.

Dia de los muertos

The person who passed away was my great grandmother and she was my guardian for many of my young childhood years. She was like the person that taught me certain values and she showed me what its like to have an elderly mom almost. She recently passed away and I decided to honor her by making the skull represent her. The orange is a special color in buddhism and that is why the monks wear it. The orange is considered a sacred color, its auspicious and it is holy. The blue symbolises wisdom , my great grandmother was very wise and I put the blue over her jaw because she always told me wise things. I put purple over her eyes because she was peaceful and independent. Purple symbolizes those things and I put them over the skull eyes because when we usually saw her, she was independent and she was always at peace. I put a black ball on her head because in asian culture, its a symbol of heaven. It has showed me that I can do certain things to honor her while she has passed, I've never thought of someone passing and making art to show respect.




Saludos. Mi llamo es Austin.  Mi bisabuela nació en Cambodia. Mi bisabuela era una mujer sabia. Mi bisabuela era muy fuerte y era independiente. Yo estoy aquí en la tierra y estoy orgulloso decir que mi bisabuela tuvo una vida buena. Mi bisabuela fue la mujer que me creo y era una persona tremenda y hasta si no era perfecta siempre me acordaré de lo que ella me enseñó.
