Ignite Week Final Report Post

For this Ignite week project, I choose Creative area because I think it’s important to create a project with creative thinking. I thought I grew in this area because I made a witch both came from a movie I like and I think it is a very creative. One example of how I used problem solving was me circle plastic cake doesn’t came out the way I wanted, so I made a perfect circle by the laser cut tools. I enjoyed learning how to use laser cut to cut recycled plastic. I think that this skill will benefit me in the future because it both help me laser cutting modelling skill and knowledge of recycling plastic. Overall, this Ignite week helped me grow because I learn to be more creative and using feedback to improve my product.

Looking back on this project, I learned how to use recycled plastic to make creative project, and also I learn that

making a project I need to have many try and generate as much idea as you can and prototype it and create the final project.

Knowing what I know now, I would use a different plastic to make my small circle because i think it is not flat when it’s out of the oven.

The mistake I learned from the most was not writing down the dimension because it might not fit.

One skills I think I can use in the future is  creativity. One thing I am proud of doing is making the

Ignite Week Create and improve blog post

Looking at my first and second prototype, I noticed my scale and the design doesn’t came the way I want so I changed the scale and design to best fit my idea. But when I am working, One of the biggest challenges was making part of my project with laser cut tools(adobe illustrator) because it is a irregular shape and I have to draw it out of shapes. I struggled to make my project on the illustrator After getting feedback from my user, I learned how to use tools and how to make irregular shape using anchor and handle. I took feedback From Mr.Geoff to improve my laser cuting modelling skill.

This is my material to cut the connection and my “circle cake”

Ignite Week Develop and Plan Blog Post

I use sander to smooth the plastic “cake” and i use laser cutter to make better circle, but the plastic “cake” doesn’t turn out flat so i use a hot fan to warm it and then try to smooth it to make it flat 

This is my prototype                                                     this is the two plastic cakes

I hope during this project i will develop my creating skill. I think i can improve my feed back by getting feed back from class mates.

This idea came from a movie i like and the way i generate idea is, searching for a big category and find some picture that inspires me then I try to make it in to a creative project.

Ignite Week Define and Inquire Blog Post

My audience or user of my product is me or other people who like space and science.  My product will be key chain related to space and a SIFI movie inspired me. The movie is about sun is getting old and it is going to explode in 2150 and the exploding gas will destroy earth and turn in to a white dwarf. To save humans, the united government puts engines on earth so earth can fly in the speed of 2nd universe speed so earth can reach enough speed to escape and move to a new sun 4.5 light years away. When earth is near Jupiter because people want to use Jupiter’s gravity to increase the speed of earth, but earth was being dragged to Jupiter because of it’s gravity is bigger that all of the engine power.
this movie inspired me because I like the concept and the science of the movie. And I think making the part about Jupiter dragging earth is creative.

This is the picture that inspired me

How ever I think it will be difficult to make because I don’t know how to make the connection between the to circle.
