inquiry

Description: in term 4 we have been doing an activity called inquiry. There are lots of deferent inquiry groups to choose from. I wanted to learn more about the 3D printer, so That was my first choice.

Why will this benefit future RSS students: I think that my 3D printed creation will benefit the school by inspiring others to make somethings interesting not plane square creations.

Thinking outside of the box: I thought about how I could think outside the box by learning how to make interesting shapes.

here are some pictures:

This is my personality sphere

This is the holder gear.

Yesterday we had our last day of inquiry. I tried to print the personality sphere, but apparently James said that I'm to smart and creative for the printer, so then I tried to print this:

But that just looked like a messed up mustache. So I tried this instead:

but the stump for the tree ended up like a wonky spiral staircase. The star didn't even print and the tree was just a knotted string of plastic.

So then I whipped something simple up in 20 seconds like this and hopefully it works:

Now I'm called THE PRO! at sketchup. Later on James asked the pros at sketch up (William G and I) to try to make a gun with free hand draw on sketchup. This is my result ( It's bad)

My questions:

1. What did I accomplish? I accomplished being a pro and helper at sketchup.

2. What was the most frustrating/ challenging thing? What difficulties did you encounter? When I           was too smart, too clever and too creative and complicated and It wouldn't print anything                     RIGHT!!!

3. What was your proudest moment in your enquiry? Becoming THE PRO! at sketchup.
