Passion project

April 19th-May 2nd: In this time we gathered all of our information about our project and did research on everything that we need. We gathered the items we could in that time which was the 3d print of our catapult and we completed the code that we need to function the catapult using the arduino. We also talked to mr csuka about how this project can be used in the school.

2nd May- 19 May

In this time we calculated all of our expenses, later on we found out we can use the arduino after getting that most of our costs were gone. We only needed to buy 1 thing which Mr.Csuka ordered. We have also needed wooden pieces which we have gotten from tech ed.

19-29 may

We have glued the wooden pieces to each other and have put a screw into the catapult. We also now have an idea of how we will present our project to the people. We also go the micro servers from mr csuka.

30 may-8 june

In this time we have fully completed our passion project. We glued the box together, put all the arduino wires inside of it. We also glued the micro servers and catapult onto the top of the box. We also started to test if it works or not and it works completely fine. Currently we are also working on our poster for the project which will be displayed for everyone to see

 

 

How did your entire project go?
What would you have done differently?
We had to set the catapult back after launching it. We would have made it so that when we launch the catapult it goes back to its natural position.
What worked out?
Everything worked out, the catapult launched when we tried it every time. The code, the wiring were the main things that worked out.
How was the event?
Did the day/event go as you thought it would? What was different compared to what you expected? Were your expectations met and how?
The day went as we planned it, lots of people came up and looked at our project and they even wanted to try it. That was basically what we were expecting.
What would you do differently or keep?
What are your future plans with this project? Are there any?
No there are not any further plans with this project.
How was the process?
How did your planning of your project go? Did you follow your plan? Did you have one? Did your plan help you?
Yes we followed our plan completely and executed it step by step since we had all of our steps noted down before starting.
How was your presentation?
How did your presentation go? Were you able to present easily? Did you feel unprepared? Did you feel your project was captivating enough to grab viewers attention?
Our presentation was very good we talked loud and clear and presented the catapult in a very interesting way describing all of our steps. Our poster was not that good and that is something we would improve upon
