Makerspace at the Fulton School
Minecraft Painting
This quarter during makerspace I worked on creating a painting from the game Minecraft in real life. First I chose the painting I wanted to make which was just this guy running. It’s basically just pixel art so it’s not too hard. The hardest part I found to be was getting the plywood the right size. I had never used the saw before so Doc had to help me with that. I haven’t actually finished the painting yet but I’m really excited to get it done and hang it in the makerspace!
Future Makerspace Project Idea
This semester I have been really bad at actually going to makerspace because of my other workload for school. For next quarter I would really like to try my hand at the embroidery machine because I haven’t yet. I think I may try embroidering a crewneck or a bag. I’ve also thought that sewing and embroidery especially with clothes is so cool and I would love to learn how to do it. I think having this project idea will give me something to look forward to and get me down in the makerspace more and out of my makerspace rut!
Ideas for future maker-space projects
For my future projects I have amazing ideas that would include the maker-space walls it’s actually an idea that me and my partner in crime ella we’re gonna start at the previous school so we decided it would be fun if we continued the idea at this school. The process of what we were are gonna paint is to discussed.
Fixing the earbuds!!
This term I am gonna be honest I haven’t been to maker space lately. However I have these wireless earbuds called trek air and a piece to fit on my head was broken which meant it was too big. So being the smart person I am I went to doc to help me fix them. The process of how I fixed these expensive earbuds is we took a piece of electrical wire and used some extra strong tape to wrap the wire in against the piece of the earbuds piece that is broken and it took a couple times to get it just right but than it was fixed! I would show a picture however I don’t have one.
Shapes
In geometry I made these shapes on the computer and then 3D printed them, then I found the surface area and volume of each.
Sand Pit
In geometry class I am making a sand pit for the lower school classrooms. All the equations I used to figure out the surface area and volume are included in the picture. I will start building it once we get all the materials.
Wooden Penguin
My first creation in Makerspace is this wooden penguin. Since couple of years ago, all my friends told me that I look like a penguin, so penguins became my favorite animal. Because I wanted to create something simple but cool for my first creation, I made this penguin.
The process of making the penguin was not that easy always. First, I picked a photo of a penguin in the internet. Then, I drew it on a paper and transferred the drawing into the computer. Once the picture is in the computer, I started making all the lines in a program for the laser. This process was the most tedious one, because I had to draw all the curve lines and spaces.
Once I finished the shape of the penguin, I just had to laser it with a piece of wood to make it real. Since I have the shape, I can (and I did) make more than one copy. The end result was amazing and for being my first project it’s incredible.
Website Development
For the fourth quarter, I continued to develop a website for the existing World Wide Technology project. I wanted to make it possible for individuals to enter their information on the profile page of the website and have all the added material saved. Due to time, I couldn’t make it to the step where the information would be saved, but the basic outline and design of the website were created.
To start, I created a new HTML document on Atom to write out the general outline of the webpage. This included all of the different items that were to be present on the page. The actual style of the website was made on a different document and frankly isn’t very elaborate. Both pages can be found below.
Next, I created a document to define the role of the “save button” at the bottom of the page. Along with this, a “serverconnection” document was made to connect the server that would save the data with the website (save button), but due to time, it is currently blank and won’t be necessary to preview.

}Stickers
Sofia and I made stickers this quarter. Some examples are the ones we have in our lockers. We made a S and a L. We also made gremlins because Super Gremlin is our song. We searched for pictures on the internet, than we copied them into a separate document. The hardest part was remembering all the steps. We printed them out and stuck them to our lockers.
Continued Chair.
Over the past couple of months I’ve been working on re-purposing a chair that was an orange chair. I painted a black chair black I am still currently doing touch ups. I plan to next year in the new school continue my work and paint designs on it. I feel very happy with my Makerspace projects this last semester and I’m happy that I got to start something in The Fulton School at Saint Albans’ location and transfer it to the next location, Chesterfield Day School.
