This is the official website for Vigil Apparel, which includes information about Vigil Apparel as well as tees that I, Dominik Salceda, and Tristan Jupp have created.
CNC Lil Vigil
This is a CNC routed image of Lil Vigil, a key piece in mine, Tristan Jupp, and Dominik Salceda’s passion project. This item was relatively easy to create, although we had some troubles figuring out how big we should CNC route it, and how to get the program working altogether as it had been a while since any of us had used the application. This specific item was mostly made by Tristan and DK, although I did help out a little in creating this CNC route.
Lil Vigil Sticker
This is a sticker of Lil Vigil that was traced and cut by myself using the sticker cutter machine. This was probably the simplest of the 2 Lil Vigil items we have made in the drafting class, as we had already drawn the basic outline prior to the sticker cutting, so all we had to do was trace it and cut it out on the sticker cutter. A lot of credit for this goes to DK and Tristan though, as they were the ones who originally designed Lil Vigil, and it wouldn’t be possible to make this without the original drawing, making this a group effort and successful creation.
3D Lil Vigil
This is a 3D printed model of Lil Vigil, a piece that I made using Blender from scratch. This was by far the most difficult of the 3 to create, as it was hard finding the right shapes and sizes to draw and print it so that the details would be clear when the final product was out and is the piece that I am the proudest of in our passion project. Again, a lot of credit for this goes to DK and Tristan though, as they were the ones who originally designed Lil Vigil, and it wouldn’t be possible to make this without the original drawing, making this a group effort and successful creation.

Solar Powered Car
I’m honestly quite disappointed with how this project went, as it didn’t do its intended job, and ended up not finishing the 2m race. This was partially my fault as I miscalculated some of the modifications I had made that ended up making it heavier than it should have been. Another reason that it had gone so poorly is also that my partner who was supposed to help me create the car hadn’t contributed at all and didn’t do any work, making it really difficult to do alone, especially with such a small time window that we were given to complete the project.
Sketchbook
This is my sketchbook, which includes 5 different drawings that incorporate things we’ve learned in STEAM throughout the year into each project. The first image is a scaled-down version of the garden we have at Terry Fox, where I used a scale of 1:60 and labeled all the different types of plants, fruits, vegetables, etc. within their correct planters/boxes. The second picture is a 1-point perspective drawing, which we did during drafting class. The third picture is a 2-point perspective drawing, which we also completed in drafting class. The fourth picture is a 3-point perspective drawing, which was assigned in drafting and completed at home. Of the 3 different perspective drawings, I am definitely most proud of my 3-point perspective drawing, as it was the one that took the most time, and in my opinion, looks the best. Last but not least, the fifth picture is a scaled-up drawing of an aboriginal design of a moon, which was made by all of cohort 1, where each student was responsible for a small chunk of the moon to scale up, and in the end, was pieced together to make a complete image that you see in the picture.
Additional Projects
Precipitation (CoCoRaHS)
This is the data that both I and Seth Fung were able to collect and were able to report to the CoCoRaHS application on our phones, which actually goes to the U.S Department of Agriculture (according to google), which I found to be very interesting and is the main reason why I decided to take on this project. Over the course of the last month, Seth and I have been going to the Terry Fox Secondary School garden every day to see if any precipitation had been caught, then measured the amount of water in mm and reported our findings to the CoCoRaHS app. We were also told that we were the first students to participate in this research within the STEAM cohorts and possibly the entire school, which I thought was really cool, as we are doing something that has only been done by a small number of people within Terry Fox Secondary.
Aquaponics
Seth and I were the first people within both STEAM cohorts to attempt and do the Aquaponics phidget, which hosted the difficult challenge of creating a circuit that outputs the correct amount of moisture into a plant for optimal living conditions using phidgets, wires, code on javascript, etc. Although we weren’t able to successfully find the correct moisture output, I still thought it would be a good idea to add this to my website, as it shows that we attempted to complete this challenge, even if we weren’t successful in the end. This unsuccess was due to the fact that we lacked knowledge in coding and we had very limited time to complete this challenge, as we were both caught up in other projects and our passion projects, along with the short amount of work days to complete the Aquaponics project, only having 2 full days to attempt to finish it.
