A project in the making

From the beginning of the year we have been looking at steampunk and the revolution as well as crane Brenton’s theory. So we have been making a project based around all of that. And now you may be thinking how would you even do that? That is exactly what I am going to be talking about as we are getting to about halfway through the project.

We first started making a timeline and learning about the revolution we were going to be working with and my group was or is the American revolution. Within my group is Spencer, Ryan and Kyle. So once we were done that we were told that we were gpoing to have to make a machine showing the revolution, steampunk and have metaphors within it. So we started to design that and have a pretty good idea of what that is going to be.

Here is a picture of our base that we have been working on.

There have been a couple of challenges from the start of the project. Whether that was actually figuring out the dates in the revolution timeline or finding a design that we think will work for the machine. Also putting all of this into a metaphorical way that isn’t to far fetched that no own will understand but also isn’t to obvious is hard to do.

So here are some videos of us creating the machine.

 

Overall I think that in the end we will be able to pull this together and it will actually be very good, because we have all put a lot of work into it!

Living in a Dream

If you could create a house with everything you ever wanted what would you put in there? Well that’s what we got do since we have been looking at blue prints and how to design houses, kitchens and find the square footage for each of these. It started off with us learning how to find the space and prices that go with the house. Then we had to design a kitchen and use all of the rules of where to put things and what to use in with it. And finally we got to make the house, I did this project with 3 other people and it turned out great I think. Overall I found this was a really fun and interesting way to learn all about blue prints and houses. Plus we were able to add our own personality in it and really make it our own.

So here are the pictures of our house which we made use it an app called Room Planner:

I think that this project taught me a lot and I really enjoyed working with other people to see how not only I would design a house but how everyone else would.

So thanks for reading and that’s all for now!

Industrial Revolution Railway

In class we have been looking at the Industrial Revolution along with the railway. So we looked into it and then we were to created an Explain Everything and that is what I am going to be showing you.

Going through and finding out the industrial revolution railway showed me how people acted in that time and how the railways were such a new technology that was amazing. But for the Explain Everything as always we had more work to do rather then the first draft, because you can always improve. So for my first draft it really wasn’t that good and I am actually really happy that i got to improve it.  And without further to do here it is.

After that I improved it quite a bit I think. and with help from my fellow friend and classmate who gave me advise on how to improve it I did and I think it is much better!

Overall I found out so much about the Industrial Revolution Railway people would see things back then. Thanks for both reading and watching this blog post and Thats all For Now!
