Makerspace at the Fulton School
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.
A Stool in Progress
During the 4th quarter, I did not come down to makerspace much because I had other school assignments going on. I did paint another stool white and I have a sketch laid out on it, but I’m not sure if I’m going to keep the sketch yet and paint it. The current sketch I have is like a squiggly checkerboard pattern with alternating flowers, faces, and hearts in the squares. I won’t be able to finish the stool and paint it this year, so, I’ll probably finish it next year! I think this is the last stool I’m painting for a while because I’m getting tired of painting stools.
Crochet Business
This quarter in maker space I worked more on my crochet business. I did a LOT at home to improve my etsy site and make it more organized. I crocheted a lot, even if I wasn’t in the makerspace. Here is a picture of one of the animals I made. I really only crochet something called amigurumi. It’s a type of crochet that works on top of it’s self to create 3-D objects. I usually make animals, but you can create replicas of objects or even people.

Des Frog
Ryan and I engraved the Yu-Gi-Oh card Des Frog onto a flat wooden sheet. We did this because the sheet essentially functions as a big card. The reason we chose this card to do was because it’s a frog and those are pretty cool. The process was simple and easy since we have experience doing this before.
Handsome Squidward Vinyl
I chose to do a vinyl of Handsome Squidward because he is a gigachad. I worked on printing out the vinyl with Ryan because we do most of our work together. I’m not incredibly comfortable doing the vinyl so Ryan helped me a lot with the technical aspect of it so we got it done and I’m happy with it.
Golf sticker
I made a sticker of a the golf brand callaway. This is brand of clubs I use when I play golf. So the process of making one is you find a picture you like. Then save the picture you want open the sticker machine program. Turn on the vinyl cutter and then put the vinyl in the machine and press cut. And wait for it cut out.
Squid ward pictures
I made a squid ward sticker with Adam first we found a picture and then we save it to a file. Then we put in the sticker machine program. Then we turned on the sticker machine. And put the vinyl in the machine and then we printed it out. SpongeBob is one of my favorite tv shows.
