Classwork 5/16 I finished the first panel. I added some lily pads and leaves. I also started laying out the second panel. This is everything I have so far.

Homework 5/16 I worked on the stems fro the other flowers.

Classwork 5/15 I drew a stem for the flower on the top

Homework 5/15 I drew another flower.

Classwork 5/11 I drew a new flower and tested out my flowers to make sure that they worked on the laser cutter.

Homework 5/11 I worked on some more flowers and modified the flowers I drew before.

Classwork 5/9 I worked on some more drawings. I decided to use the paint tool, then use the outline stroke feature to make the drawings so I can cut them on the laser cutter.

Homework 5/9 I chose to focus on the floral designs so I worked on the fusion design of them.

Homework 5/2 I drew some sketches inspired by squash and a Chinese custom called paper cutting. The luminary project reminded me about this Chinese tradition because we are doing the same thing but on wood.

Homework 5/1 I drew some sketches inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Homework 5/9 I finished the pencil box and gave it to Najja. She really loved he pencil box, especially the bread design. She said that the drawer could have been less loose. She also said that the plastic could have all been the same color.

Classwork 2/20 The hinge worked! I started to export and print the 3D files for my dividers

Homework 2/20 I remade the 3D print file for the hindge with the extra buffer.

Classwork 4/19 I tried printing the hindge out. It did not work. I will at .01 more buffer between the two bodies.

Homework 4/19 I figured out how to turn off the setting that prevented bodies from overlapping.

Classwork 4/18 I finished the 3D model of the hinge. I could not figure out how to export the bodies so that they were overlapping each other.

Classwork 4/17 I cut out the toasts. They turned out really well and look so real.

Homework 4/17 There isn’t anything I can work on at home.

Classwork 4/13 I finally finished the illustrator file. The cut-out and the image lined up perfectly.

Homework 4/13 I worked on the illustrator file to raster the bread on the sides. I realized that the image did not line up well with the cut-out of the bread.

Classwork 4/11 I decided to 3D print the adjustable dividers so that the dividers take up less space and look more sleek. The dividers will also slide in better because the parts will be made of plastic.

Homework 4/11 I changed the design of the secret compartment side in fusion so that it looks more sleek.

Classwork 4/6 I did not have Rhino, so I spent this class working on exporting every sketch I needed and looking for a computer that had Rhino.

Homework 4/6 I finished the pencil box. I added dividers, already decreased the height. and added the AI generated toast on the sides.

Homework 4/6 brought back my cardboard model and asked for feedback. This is what she said:

• don’t need the drawer on the top
• the pens/pencil holders are too high
• add dividers in the pen/pencil holders

Classwork 4/3 I finished making the drawer in a separate file and inserted it in. I also finished making the side frame and hinges for the secret compartment.

Homework 4/3 I played around with how the left side could open, and I realized that I should stick with the original plan. I will make a “frame” on the left that holds a magnet, and the left side opens like a door.

Classwork 3/30 I worked on the side between the divider between the drawer and the pencil holders. I also fixed the edges of the back and bottom.

Homework 3/30 I started modeling some parts of the pencil box. I decided to round the edge of the side for a softer feel.

Classwork 3/28 I made a mockup of the pencil box. The left side can open to reveal the hidden compartment behind the drawers. The hinge used for this would be 3D printed. I made the pencil box too tall (pen inside for scale). I would make it 4.5 inches tall instead of 5.5.

Homework 3/28 I drew some sketches of the pencil box. My favorite ideas are the secret compartment behind the loaf of bread and loaf of bread on the sides.

Classwork 3/27 Today we are writing problem statements:

Constraints: Must have two drawers, separate compartments for each item, a secret compartment, made of wood

Problem Statement: Since the beginning of the school year, Najja had trouble finding the writing utensils she needs while working at her desk. She wants something to hold all her writing utensils in one place so that she can find the item she needs easily.

Homework 3/27 I got my answers to my questions:

1. Why do you want a pencil box?
   • To be more organized
2. What are the items you want to organize?
   • Pens, pencils, highlighters, an eraser
3. What items do you want to hide?
   • Money, notes
4. What is the biggest challenge for you when organizing these items?
   • No individual compartments
5. What is a design/decoration that you would like on the pencil box?
   • A loaf of bread
6. Is there a specific feature you want on the box?
   • Small, modern
7. Do you currently have an organizer? If so, what is your favorite/least favorite part of it?
   • No
8. How many drawers do you want?
   • 2

Classwork 3/23 I decided to ask these questions in my interview:

1. Why do you want a pencil box?
2. What are the items you want to organize?
3. What items do you want to hide?
4. What is the biggest challenge for you when organizing these items?
5. What is a design/decoration that you would like on the pencil box?
6. Is there a specific feature you want on the box?
7. Do you currently have an organizer? If so, what is your favorite/least favorite part of it?
8. How many drawers do you want?

Homework 3/2 I changed the dimensions of the drawers so it would be easier to pull out the drawers when I build it. I also changed the dimensions of the small drawer so that it sits flush against the rest of the pencil box.

Homework 2/23 I made the other drawer did the same thing for homework.

Classwork 2/22 I finished building a drawer in a separate design. I also added as built joints to help my drawer move when I put it into the main design. I also added a “handle” that probably won’t work but covers a joint and makes the drawer look prettier.

Homework 2/22 I finished the front middle pieces, but I decided to make some adjustments to the height of the top drawer. It took me a while to fix some of my old mistakes.

Classwork 2/21 I finished the middle pieces, but I decided to make some adjustments to the height of the top drawer. It took me a while to fix some of my old mistakes.

Homework 2/21 I finished some of the middle pieces of the pencil box.

Classwork 2/20 I continued to build the pencil box, but I decided to make a new pencil because the old one was too bulky.

Homework 2/20 I finished the middle pieces, and I still have to make the drawers. I’m not sure how I am going to build that yet.

Classwork 2/16 I started on building the box. I think the box feels kind of bulky. I still have to finish the middle parts and the drawer.

Homework 2/16 I brainstormed some ideas for my own pencil box. I use pens and hate using pencils, so I designed a space where I could put my erasable and Pilot G2 pens. I also made a space for other writing tools that I don’t use as often. I made the space expandable by cutting slits in the “walls” so that I can slide in a divider. I also knew that I use erasers a lot, so I made a small space for erasers. I also made a drawer for random stuff and a drawer for my erasable pen refills. I made the drawers to also be expandable.

Classwork 2/14 I redrew the sides and finished the insides of the box. It now works when I change the material thickness, width, length, and height parameters. I also finished cutting and building the box.

Homework 2/14 I made another box and pinned everything with the origin. When I changed the parameters, everything adjusted perfectly. The length and width parts still don’t work. At this point, I would probably just redraw the sketches for each side instead of copy-pasting.

Classwork 2/13 I finished the inside parts, but the box looked weird when I tried to change the parameters. I’m just going to redraw the whole box, but drawing everything with the origin.
