I made this bracelet out of yarn, beads, and hot glue. I didn’t have the proper string* so I had to improvise by using yarn, which started to fall apart. I’ll need to get the proper string and learn how to tie a easier knot the next time that I do this. I did enjoy doing it though and I will do it again.

*The correct string type is an elastic string that’s used in bead-jewelry making. It is often referred to as Kandi string or Kandi bracelets.

Doc said I had to make note of some other stuff I did this quarter so here’s a quick list: Epoxy earrings, Little Epoxy table, Coasters, and a font

For worldwide tech, our project was to make an ai that would help educate elderly people on scams so they could avoid them. My job was to make seed questions, as well as write a script for the video. It wasn’t in my area of expertise so I didn’t really enjoy it, and I don’t think I was very helpful. If I was going to give advice to someone like me, I would tell them to make sure they are completing their tasks, because often times someone else is waiting on you.

Doc had a coi fish kit so I put it together. It was challenging initially, but with more practice, it became much smoother. I have completed one fish and I started another. I plan to insert a device to move the tail back and forth to stimulate swimming. After the device works, hopefully we will be able to hang the fish in the makerspace and it will look like it is swimming through class. With the other fish, I plan to put LEDs inside and turn it into a lantern.

What we attempted to make this year was an AI called RYAN that helps you stay safe online by attempting to scam you then teach you about cyber security. I made a website for the World Wide Tech Competition. I really enjoyed doing WWT this year and I feel like I have learned a lot. Not just about html and javascript but about time management and planning. Overall this years competition has taught me a lot and I plan on doing it next year.

i made a car-thing

In robotics we have mostly just been tinkering. we haven’t made any big things this year, but I put together a couple cars and such.

I participated in the World Wide Tech stem student forum thingy this year. Its basically a competition where they give you a prompt and you are supposed to create something, and present it in a 5 minute video. The prompt was something involving ai, cybersecurity, and learning, so we created a thing that would “scam” you and then tell you what you did wrong. I told people this year that I would quit if the prompt involved ai, and it did, but I didn’t quit. Instead I just did minimal work. I set up some programs on the computer that we were using. In conclusion, we didn’t win, we were probably too good and they decided to cut us from the top 3.

I started making a rug. I designed it based on moss rugs and a pond. I wanted to make a small rug. It was a bit difficult to choose a design I wanted to do. I changed a lot of things and I really like the design now. When I work on it again I’ll start actually making it.

In makerspace I made more yarn kites. They are very fun to do.
