Simple Circuit

Today in class, Elizabeth and I created and learned about simple circuits. Together we attached LED to a simple circuit in order to light up the lights. We also used a switch in the circuit which allowed us to manually turn the light on and off. Then we used the breadboard to do simple LED circuits. Finally, we used a 9V battery and a resistor to light up the light on a breadboard.

USB Holder Design

My partner and I decided to create a holder for the USB drives. Our first design included a platform/board and then pegs attached. We were baffled however on how we were going to attach the pegs. Finally, after several ideas, we decided that it was best that it was done by divets. We then proceeded to create a model of the product on SketchUp Make. To create the model we used the push/pull, move, rotate, guide lines, and line tools. Our final product is displayed below.

Learning SketchUp

In Art and Design class last week, I learned how to create chairs and tables with equal legs and surfaces. I also learned how to rotate tables and chairs and learned how the guide lines functioned. In addition, I learned how to make straight lines using guide lines and the ruler. This helped me when I had to use the push/pull tool to create a space in the chair. Below, is the dining room that I created during the previous week of Art and Design. Chair and Table
