Hello everyone, today I will be talking about my innovation day project.
I was working with my 2 best friends Lulu36 and MaiaG. (That is their blog names.) Here is our problem the teachers gave us:
How can we provide renewable energy sources to community outdoor spaces in an energy-efficient way that still maintains the safety and “fun” aesthetic of the space?
What I thought was going to happen was that we made a whole stable. turns out all we got done was a simple arena so that definitely changed! We also thought a lot more would get done and we wouldn’t be missing a whole partner. I also thought that it would be way easier and less tiring since it was 2 of us with our steps the cardboard part was hard and since we had many struggles it wasn’t easy but I loved it.
The materials we used were
- Cardboard
- Spoons
- Straws
- Aluminum foil
- Sand
- Clay
- Pipe cleaners
- Hot glue
- Paper
- Glue
- Scissors
Our procedure was to use hot glue, put the cardboard together, put aluminum foil, then add sand, then make the wind turbines with straw and spoon. then make clay horse and rider and coach. The last few steps are to make the board print out our writing and put it together to draw horses and glue it on. add string and hot glue printed pictures of wind turbines on thats all. With our communication we worked well together, got along and figured hard things out together the whole time. If I could change anything it would definitely be my other partner Lulu36 was here and not on vacation, but good on her! for helping the last 2 days. We had and did some clay business but did not help much because she was gone, sure we needed some shaping but yes she helped make some clay and she made hot glue and hot glued some paper on and she did a great job but who knows if we would’ve finished without her! Probably we would but she came back😀 It was great when she came back not because of the project but because she’s my best friend other than maiag so it was a happy day. But we were close to being finished as you read from before. I can say, it did help when lulu36 came back since we had 3 people instead of 2 we got done all the way through our project part but during the writing part it was fine we wrote well but when Lulu36 came back we had not put it up yet and so she decided to put them all up Lulu36 also made a jump and maiag made a jump too and our coach (which got stolen) along with our other horse who got stolen as well, Yup! We used to have 4 horses, not 3 4! Since that got stolen we unfortunately had absolutely no time to make another since it was so time consuming but in my opinion we had the best project ever but other people might have different opinions than me.
In conclusion I think this project was fun and great but stressful too and would have been much better if our other partner Lulu36 wasn’t on a vacation but it’s alright. We worked great together, we used lots of materials, we fixed all the problems that happened along the way and it was great. Our project was good, especially on our poster board.
That’s all for today. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and keep scrolling for more pictures bye bye.
