What if Design Innovation Project

In the past week we have been working on our mockups ( 3D model for design ) and getting ready for when we have to show them to our client ( Tim Klunder and Abby DeRoo )in a presentation of how we got from context to Insight to Ideation to Solution and making our mockups. On Wednesday  they came and so did a lot of parents and we showed them how the deign project worked and I had to do a speaking part infront of everyone and I learned that I am not scared to talk infront of people it is actually kind of fun. After that we had people from each studio group ( the group we work with for the project ) come up and do a presentation and after it was over everyone showed there presentation in the gallery and I had to speak there to so I learned that I am good at speaking infront of people and everyone in our 6th grade at ZCS ( Zeeland Christian School ) learned how to work in groups.

Science Project

In science we have working on making sedimentary rock with crayons and we put them under a ton of pressure for thousands of minutes and then we went to take them out and see what we ended we ended up with some pieces of sedimentary rock and it look like this.

What if? Design Innovation Project

In the past week, we have been working on our What if? Innovation project.We are from ZCS ( Zeeland Christian School ) and we have been asked by the city of Zeeland to create a family gathering place by Brumels and City hall. We are going through a process with Mr. Fluharty , and Mrs. Morin on how to design a good family gathering place. We came up with a lot of ideas and its really hard to find what ones are the best out of all of them. On the first day I went to JCI ( Johnson Controles Incorporated ) and we learned the processof how to design cars and then we went to see are clients and walk to the space to see what it looks like. The next couple ofdays we split up and we had some people work on Secondary research, some worked on Qualitative research, and some worked on Quantitative  research. And then we got back in our studio group ( the groups were working in to design the project) to try to design a good place for a family gathering place.

And this is us making the beginning of our modle of the family gathering place.

Egyptian Museum

In this project we made a Egyptian museum to teach kids about ancient egypt.My favorite part was that i made the casket and I got to be the mummy. I learned that ancient egypt the Pharaohs told everyone that they were gods, and of the process of mummification. I learned that it is very helpful when you collaborate with your group members because you can get more done.
