Tri State Area

this is the second decal I made. this one was a bit harder because the words are tiny and I hand-placed the black border

I made a decal for the Tampa spartans

I helped Starley paint a board.

In this project, I wanted to create a cutting board of sorts as a present.

I spent a lot of my time finding the best two pieces of wood in order to create the riverlike feel to the board.

I created a mold with wood and epoxy tape and then poured the epoxy.

I used the table saw to cut the edges and sanded the bottom.

lastly I oiled the top to make it usable for a cutting board but due to the length and minimal width it might be best as something else.

Through this project I learned the struggle of the buoyancy of the wood and the epoxy.

Overall the project ended looking good with a few minor flaws.

For the second Quarter of makerspace I finished building the sandbox for the lower school. The sandbox is a hexagon. I built the sandbox design that Lily made. The ends of the wood planks are cut at a 30 degree angle to have a smooth hexagonal shape.

During the last semester Ella and I had a bunch of different ideas for projects we could accomplish its been a slow process trying to pick a project to start with. Our ideas were to maker more bird houses, paint some walls in makerspace, make monogrammed shirts, use our art ideas to our advantage. However in the end we decided to do the wood cutout project because it was an urgent thing to do. We plan to doo a lot more projects this next quarter over the next few months. We had some crazy ideas that would make the makerspace area much better however of course we are very indecisive. We plan too do a bunch this year. I feel like our project that we are going to finish is going well. We are hoping for no bumps in the road on our journey doing projects.

For my makerspace project My partner Ella and I took the list of students of the whole school names and put there names onto wood cutout shapes to display in makerspace. The process of doing this was Ella was on the website where you edit the names. I took the list of students that still need the wood cutouts and read them out loud to Ella as she typed them to the website. I First read the Toddlers name by name, than I read the Preschool and the project is to be continued. As I read them names of the students I put check marks next to the names to keep track of all the students I already read. I read 41 students to Ella and she made there names on the website to print out. Soon the whole student body will have there names on the wood cutouts. The description of the website we used was a graphing and editing website with different fonts. This was our makerspace project. The project has gone well so far I think the strategy that we are using is working the best. Like I said we plan to have the whole student body have there names on the cutouts/
