Today I got together with Morgan to talk about the Governor’s Project and review what she was told in class regarding it. She shared some possible ideas that were discussed for the STEM project such as a solar solution for melting snow and finding ways to reduce gas emissions when using a snow plow.  CreatingContinue reading “December 16, 2020”

Continuing from yesterday, I wanted to look into things that people have 3D-printed that serve a very practical purpose. I found the video linked below and let me tell you I didn’t expect half of these possibilities!! A reoccurring idea was a cast that a person is able to shower with which is much moreContinue reading “December 15, 2020”

Today wasn’t the most eventful day but I brainstormed different things that I could 3-D print that would be useful. One idea, unsure the likeliness of it being convenient, but an upside-down adjustable visor that is put on a baby’s head so when they are being bathed and their hair is being washed out, neitherContinue reading “December 14, 2020”

Today sure was a fun class!! It was very relaxed as we played Among Us! Lucky me I was imposter both times 🙂 The goal for next week is to continue looking into buggys and pooper scoopers for horses and how the entire experience of driving a buggy works.

Today I brainstormed object that I could print on the 3D-printer. I came up with creating a name tag that goes on a desk such as the one pictured below or even a clipboard for something larger! Again, the possibilities are endless. For the second part of class I went to YouTube to watch videosContinue reading “December 10, 2020”

Todays post is a continuation from yesterday. Members from DaVinci are very familiar with OnShape which is a computer-aided design program that allows you to blueprint the design of an object before 3D-printing it. It’s crazy to think that you can print anything you want! I have never used it before so I don’t knowContinue reading “December 9, 2020”

Today I came into class to have my biweekly. I met with Mr. Wagoner and we discussed the progress I’ve made since my last meeting and future goals for the next two weeks. Because we couldn’t find any price-friendly superconductors we moved away from the cooling super-conducer experiment but Mr. Wagoner came up with anContinue reading “December 8, 2020”

Today was not the most productive day but I looked for existing sites that already sell manure catcher bags for horses like the ones in the pictures shared last week. The links below are the 2 sites that I found. Sometime this week I want to look more into these sites and who they’re runContinue reading “December 7, 2020”

After sharing the horse manure pooper scooper idea with Mr. Wagoner, he suggested that I look for any existing products. After doing a google search, these are the pictures that I found. As you can tell, the main product is basically a bag that attaches to the horses butt so the manure falls directly in;Continue reading “December 4, 2020”

For the first time this year, I was able to collaborate with Morgan who’s in group A! It was so refreshing to have a fresh pair of eyes looking into my ideas and thought process for everything thus far. Our main accomplishment was discussing the Governor’s Process as we have teamed up with the boysContinue reading “December 3, 2020”
