Tri State Area

First I made a bunch of different shapes and made them in the shape of a car. Then I put the shapes in cutting program and then clicked print the sticker came out nice. It was easy to cut because it was a simple design.

For my first blog post I decided to make a custom yugioh card. First I found a yugioh card template and then a picture of squid-ward and put the picture inside the yugioh card template. Then I put the wood in the laser machine and let it cut out. The first one didn’t turn out well so I changed the contrast of the image. And printed it again it came out a lot better.

I have already planned what I want to do for next quarter and the interim. I’m going to make a coffee table for my room made out of resin but with vinyl records inside of it. I want to do this because I love music and it’s a big part of my life. I need a coffee table and I had a hard time finding exactly what I wanted so I thought why not just make my dream coffee table? It’s going to be three feet by two feet and half an inch thick. My only worry is that it’s not going to be thick enough to support itself. I could make it thicker but resin is expensive so I don’t want to buy too much. But I gotta do what I gotta do to make the DREAM!

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!

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!

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.

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.

In geometry, I made these shapes on the computer platform, OpenScad, and then 3D printed them. Then I found the surface area and volume of each using the equations found in the images. They are now used in the math room for geometry references.

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.

Here is the final product, designed by me and built by the junior boys.
