Hi guys, it’s me Randy again. Today I’m going to reflect on my last maker project of the year—sustainable blue sky. In this project we were asked to create and design something by ourselves, and at some point it has to help the world.
Because of the Coronavirus outbreak, we only have access to some materials at home, and for me I had wood, plants, and a green house. So I decided why don’t my topic be about gardening. Then I had this wonderful idea of self watering pot in my mind, then started to work on it.
The way that self watering pot can help the world is by making gardening easier, and then people would think that gardening isn’t that hard, and eventually they will have their own. Because of the home garden out there, the plants can produce more air, and this will definitely help with the air pollution problem. After all of those thinking I started to work with my dad on the pot. After two days the pot was made, so then I started to work on the self water system. I made a bucket filled with water, and at the bottom it has a hole, and my turning the cap of the bucket the rate of dripping water changes. I also made a handle to hang the bucket, turns out that it works really well.
The whole process was recorded in my launch journal, please check it out.
In this project I learned woodworking with my dad, and it was really fun. Hopefully my product can actually help the world and make the air better.
