    Week 12

    Week 12: 10/31 - 11/4


    Describe highlights from the week, including major milestones and events

    This past week, I began building my third prototype. I cleaned out my bin and began remodeling my design. While building, Mr. McKenna, my AP Physics teacher, gave me some advice on how to make my robot better. This week, I also was a test subject for Sienna's project on lighting and brain activity.

    Summarize tasks completed, emphasizing what was achieved

    This week I finished my NCWIT application and submitted it. I worked on the retractable reels and stayed on task. This week was a good week for my project because I was able to accomplish a lot and get motivated again.

    Explain challenges encountered and the actions you took to address them

    This week, while remodeling my design, Mr. McKenna, in the most polite way possible, completely disproved my project with the laws of physics. I was pretty bummed out in the moment because I felt like I just wasted a year building a robot that could never have worked and that I should have taken physics and math before attempting this project. I guess you just live and you learn sometimes. I am now excited that I can redesign my robot in a way that will actually work instead of wasting my time.
