During “LED it up”, we learned how to create simple circuits using 3 volt and 9 volt batteries. We learned that if there is no resister on a 9 volt battery, it will almost instantly. We also used breadboards to make the circuits more easily and connected a switch to both the 9 volt and 3 volt battery. We used switches to complete and disconnect the circuits. In the end, we used an Arduino board to program a LED to blink.
For this project, we created a pencil holder which fits into the open holes in the tables. We had to measure the size of the holes and create a pencil container in SketchUp which fit into each hole. We also added six holes on the side to hold extra pencils and another larger hole on the other side to hold smaller objects such as paper clips and erasers. The center hole which is meant to fit into the tables and is about 5 1/2 inches deep. In the end, we also made a small cover which can slide over the top of the container to close it off when it is not in use.
In the project, we learned how to properly move, rotate, and duplicate objects in Sketchup. We first made a chair by using the draw and push/pull tool. Then we added a table for the chairs to sit around. Then we duplicated the chairs and used the rotate tool to position them around the table.
