I graduated high school and I made a thing with lights for my cap. !! :)

casually colouring the coolest shoes you’ll ever see

Class of 2020!!!!!!!! This is a really late post because I mentally committed the day I was accepted (Pi day :) ) and also I physically committed (as in on the computer) a couple weeks ago!! :))))))))))

So I built a thing and I can’t actually tell you what it does because it is a secret but here is part of it and sorry that I used 2 red wires I could not locate yellow at the time of soldering. Other than that its kinda cute right?? :)

Memory Game! - Remember the sequence of lights flashing! Each level makes the sequence one light longer! This is a real life version of this Scratch game!

I coloured a wallet!

I made them the same way I made my awesome Spiderman Shoes-- except this time the blue Sharpie was too dark so to make it lighter I simply colored over the blue body with a black Expo marker, then rubbed it off with a Q-tip which lightened the colour :).

((Sorry for the Snapchat story timer thing in the corner))...

Here’s the original photo: 

Pro tracing/lightning drawing/shoe drawing skillzzz!!

PS: Yes I spelled coloured with a u. On purpose.

My brother and I lost some Exploding Kittens cards and saw the opportunity to have some fun...

Aside from being off center and also not glossy (nothing a little Mod Podge  can't fix) I think we’re pretty spot on, right?!?!

My brother’s only seven years old--all he wanted was a donut, an orca whale, and some lobsters. We had lots of fun scouring the internet for photos of said items.

I have no affiliation with the Oatmeal or Hello Kitty or anything else on these cards & I’m not trying to sell anything or whatnot. 

We just lost some cards and needed to replenish our deck. :)

I haven't posted a while because I have been pretty busy but someone said I should share the link to this 3-week research project I did (and website I made to share it) in AP Biology last year on how sound affects your focus or ability to get work done

Here’s a screenshot, but click the link to see what it’s all about!

I have this scrapbook...

That I’ve been working on since 7th grade...

Though it doesn't even close it contains some of my favorite moments. I won't scrapbook too often but when I do I try and capture my feelings. I use pretty much any material I want, even a watch!

Here are a few (ok more than a few) of my favorite pages that I feel comfortable sharing... :)

Sometimes the sides won’t relate to each other, and sometimes they will. I just fill whatever I want to fill. You may notice some black sharpie writing and old glue marks but believe it or not this scrapbook actually used to belong to someone else, but all the photos he pasted in were removed!

:) Hope you like it.

I’m working on another big project: the Door Alarm 2.0! An upgrade from the Door Alarm 1: Makey Makey version! Here’s a sneak peak!

It involves a radio, a BrightBlue Bean (my new toy from Christmas!!!) a speaker, and an LCD! Oh, and also some batteries. Woohoo! 

Basically this miraculous thing is my own Room-land security. An alarm will sound if anyone touches my doorknob, (some tinfoil on the ground is Earth/Ground). My door handle really doesn't do anything because you don't have to spin it to open the door, just push, so there’s also some tinfoil on my door and I’ll be notified if my dog is about to barge in! It also will do some other cool stuff but I’m still working on the design!

I’m using the solderless breadboard to prototype, but I’m going to solder it once ready. I’m also using the Makey Makey for prototype but I will eventually solder leads onto the radio control (for super fancy touch activation!) The speaker and alarm box are from a Snap Circuits Junior in case you were wondering (you probably weren't, but know you know anyways).

I know I should probably put some more photos on here, but it’s currently 9:30 and that means I have to go finish my Chemistry lab report.. I’ll edit this post whenever I decide something is photo ready!

Here’s the super high-tech doorknob touch connector to motivate you to check back periodically:

TBT to my first Arduino project. Ahh, how proud I was to not have burnt that LED.
