DI reflective blog post

After many months preparing, building, scripting, and testing, we completed our first DI tournament and the second one is coming next.

 

So at some point last year or so we were introduced to DI, it was explained in a maker class on a slideshow. So a few months later the teams were set and I was in the engineering group with

Eloise

Siena

Sven

Sawyer

Cole

here are there blogs

 

What we were doing before the tournament

so most of the time we were building the device and our backdrops and planning our props. So we did spend some time at school some days before semester 2 working on backdrops and we did some work in class. We did meet up at my house once to do work, but we did not get much done there. Also the Eloise and Siena were working on the story and the scripts and basically everything else.

The tournament 1

so the first DI tournament was not fun at all, we had to be at school at 8:30 on a Saturday which was very annoying for me and I wanted to go snowboarding with my dad but I couldn’t because i had to stay there the whole time. So we did our performance and after that. We just went around watching everone else’s preformances instead before the reward ceremony. So at the ceremony we got first place for our performance and we were just happy that we beat the private schools. Video coming end of may

Reflection

So for my first DI tournament. We did really well because we got first place for our solution. But our teamwork was really good during the performance and a special shoutout to Eloise to doing most of the work over the past few months! Also what I probably want to improve on are the device and making our backdrops better and doing more. Also how I contributed is going to tutorial for team meetups and I did assist the girls on making the backdrops and providing my dads tools for my team.

 

 

 

Poetry unit reflection post

After a month of being back at school and being tiered every night, I have completed a new project.

So for this last month, I have been writing poetry for my humanities class, so I just came back from winter break and I am all sad and stuff. And when we came back, we had to do a new project, writing poetry. At first I was not happy writing poetry, but I had to do it anyway

My answer to the driving question

So the driving question for this project is how might I write poetry that I enjoy and shows who I am. So my answer for the driving question is yes and no, so first of all for yes is I did enjoy writing the haikus and they kinda showed who I am as a person. For the no answer, I did not really enjoy writing most of the poems because I had to work at night to write them and they had to be about my worldview. If I enjoyed writing poetry, I would have liked it where I can write about anything I want. So yes, I did answer the driving question

the final product

So the final product for this project is a ebook with all of my poems inside that I worked on the past month or so. So I used book creator for the book and I hope you enjoy reading it

 

 

 

 

Radical innovations or how it started reflection post

After a month of working and building props and stressing and staying 12 hours after school in pain, I have completed my first winter exhibition.

 

This is my first blog post in 2024 and I am not excited and at the time of writing. This is the first day back to school for me.

What I did over like a month

so what I did over the month is learning about the renasansse and the inventions made during the time period. So we were learning about inventions made during the renassance like the WordPress, the most famed out of all the Renaissance inventions and also the Teloscope . And also, the Renaissance was also a cultural movement because of Martin Luther and his 95 theses and the chatholic church had another schism.

 

My Renaissance art

So just like the last project I did, I had to create art using Super Impose X. But with a twist, it had to represent Renaissance times and stuff and also, I had to make a paragraph to explain the art

The grand tableaux

So the final thing we had to build for this project and kinda for the medieval project, is a group tableaux that we have to present at the winter exhibition. So we started building the props like 2 weeks before the exhibition. The girls on my team did most of the work and they worked one time 4 hours building props, we offered help, but they said ther’re fine. So at the winter exhibition, we had to stay 6 more hours after school and at the end of it, I was so tired and my legs hurt badly.

The aftermath and what I learned

so there are a few things I have learned from this experience, first of all, I need to get more fit so I can stand for 4 hours and not have my legs hurt. The second thing I learned was the Renaissance times and the inventions. The third thing I learned from this experience is probably contribute more in my group as well to build props and stuff

Drawing boot camp reflective post Isaac edition

Over the past week, I have been tirelessly drawing in maker.

What I did over the past week

So since last week, I was in a drawing bootcamp in my maker class. so the main purpose of this class is to improve my drawing skills and stuff since I was a terrable  drawer. So the first thing I did was learn about sketches pro, I learned the different drawing tools and to reflect on that, I made bubble letters with my name with different filling in it. And also, I didn’t have my Apple Pencil that day,but I pulled through

The next day after making my name, I made a robot and a bunch of 3d shapes and the things I learned about were shading 3D shapes and drawing them. This robot looks pretty cursed but I still like it. Also this is when I was still a bad drawer.

Now the next thing I made was a emoji with my refined drawing skills, the emoji is the laughing meme emoji and it still looks bad. But I tried my best to make it work. I used the watercolour tool in sketches pro to shade it and I used to colour match tool to get certain colours that I need

 

So the last task for this project was to make a brand logo. The logo I made was an orange and the company name was, well orange. I’d say this is the best work I created in this project so far and I am proud of it, I used the smudge tool to make it look more like an orange and I used the spray tool to make it textured.

What I learned in this project

So the main thing I learned in this project was, well, drawing better. I liked learning new drawing techniques like for example, learning about the tools in sketches pro and stuff and shading. After a week of being in this project, I think I am a better drawer.

Super good post very good👍👍👍👍👍

This is a very good blog post about an accordian feature in wordpress

It’s the end of the world reflective post

After one gruelling, painful, and sufferable month and a half, I have completed my first humanities project,   It’s the end of the world as we know it. 

So I started my first maker project like, at the beginning of the school year and stuff and the driving question for this project was. “How can a text help me understand myself as my worldview is changing.” So the main thing we did during this project was reading a book called the outsiders.

what I did over the month and a half

So obviously the main thing I did over the month was reading the outsiders and having group discussions every week and most of the time I did other tasks relating to western worldview. And one of the things we did was make a MindNode about western worldview and the 7 aspects of western worldview. And also we made a group meme that was about the expectations of high school vs reality. And also I made song lyrics for the music video

Why did I do these tasks 

I think that the reason I did all of the tasks were to make the final product in this project, our music video that was made by my group and me. And another reason I did all of these tasks were for me to understand worldview more and myself as its changing.

The final product 

So as I mentioned earlier, I made a music video about the end of the world with my group and the main topic mentioned in the song was the start of seycove and how its not easy. So I hope you enjoy my song and pls subscribe to my YouTube channel

Where do I think I am. 

I think I reached proficient in this project because I have been handing in work, but I got a lot for revision symbols but I made corrections to them and I reached proficient. And also about the music video, me and my group did a really good job and we reached profcient with the music video we made because we put a lot of good pictures and we did well at singing.  So I think overall, I think I reached proficient in this project that I worked on for a month and a half.
