Key Chains part 2

The 1st step to making you key chain will be to trace it in Google Sketch-up. Save a picture from the internet in a location where you can find it. Then go to file then click import. 

You will have to switch the file types to all supported to find pictures

Place the photo so it is flat on your work space . 

Use line/ free hand tool to trace around object. You may have to adjust after 

You may have to make a hole in your key chain for writing. this is done by drawing the shape. selecting the shape and deleting the shape which will make a hole in the middle of your drawing. 

At the end of you tracing the inside of the shape should turn solid if not you have a gap in the lines which need to be filled.

Next you will expand everything so it has ts 3D effect. 

the next part is up to you mattering on how you want to connect your pieces. you can either add connections to hold everything together or make a backing plate. 

Tough Mudder

My Hopes were high at the beginning 

We tried are best

But in the End

We came 2nd

Key Chains- Day one

Today we will start make your keys chains! The 1st step to do is to fill out the following questions. After you are done you can make your decision on what it will look like.

3D Printing

                                                                                          

What type of 3D printers are there (6)?

·

·       

If the school has a Maker Bot 3D printer what type is it? Explain how it works

What type of material does it use?

What is the average time for a desktop 3D printer?

What can a 3D printer be used for? (List 5)

1.    

2.    

3.    

4.    

5.    

What have 3D printers been used for in the science community? Why is this important? Who does it benefit?

Think of 6 different keychain ideas that you would be interested in making:

Check with Mr. Sheppard which ones would work. You will have to find a vector or line drawing of the symbol that you would want. After confirming find the symbol.

3D Stage 5

The last part of the 3D design before we start the key chain will be building a fence around your house.

• 4cm wide picket
• 100 cm tall (not including the point)
• 8cm gaps between pickets
• 4cm rail overhang on each side

 

 Paint the inside of the fence a different colour from the outside.

Once the fence is a component copy and past enough to surround your WHOLE yard.

 

• The connections between fence panels needs to be exact
• The connections at the corners need to be exact.

• The length and width of the fence need to be exact (adjust your yard size).

POST the fence alone -THEN post the FENCE in the POOL scene

GJ- Day 5

You played the game. You have tried different strategies. You've won - you've lost.

Play once more.

Try something different.  Try something Bold - aggressive - strategic or perturbed yet cardinal.

This is your final posting

Take some unique screen shots and explain how they affected the game.

Finally, your readers want your OPINION and they want the reasons for these opinions.

They do not want a knee jerk (unthinking) response.

They would like to know why you feel the way you do.

GJ- Day 4

BEFORE you begin

write your plan for today. 

Reminisce about the issues you
 had to face last time
 then PREPLAN today's activity. 

 

Start

TAKE NOTES

then ...Blog today's gameplay

            

always for your readers

GJ- Day 3

• Make notes of the items you choose, the order you place them along with size and quantity.
• Play  - but make notes of choices especially when you choose to be aggressive versus conservative.
• for example - when choosing plants to grow - What is the reason for choosing 1 type over another?
• Other than just survival - what is your goal

1. milestones?
2. a telescope? (in order to build a meteor destroying laser)

Now begin to write your opinion of the game and gameplay. Write about your choices and their consequences. Offer ideas to your readers and make predictions should you choose differently. Use screenshots.URL.
