Final Project Report
When I set out on this project, I set out to solve the problem of the human body wasting energy. Specifically, as we walk, we press all of our weight into the bottom of our shoes, but that weight simply dissipates and doesn’t generate anything. I set out to find a way to turn this…

YET Debrief
Last week, the Fusion Cohort went to University of Victoria for a week to engage in various engineering focused activities. We stayed in the dorms, explored around the campus, as well as the city of Victoria. One of my favorite activities we participated in while we we’re there was creating airplanes out of foam and…

Personal Project Update:
In this project, I set out to create two different designs for shoes using piezoelectric discs which generate electricity. This electricity would then charge a battery which would then be able to charge any device you want. Here is what has happened to far. How much progress have you made? You can show as well…

Making Good Life Choices
Here I will be reflecting on how my vehicle project went. When we first started our project, we were tasked with creating a problem definition statement so we knew what we needed to create. I think that our problem statement was quite good, as throughout our project we never had to question what we were…

Vehicle Blog Post #2
For this blog post, my team and I are moving forward with designing a prototype based on our definition statement: Our team must design an efficient transportation method on a foreign celestial body, both without wasting excess energy and without wasting time, capable of a 5-kilometre-long round trip on Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s moons. This…

Planet Project Assignment #1: What do we know?
For this Assignment we were put into a group and had to pick a planet or moon. Our goal for this whole assignment is to create a vehicle that can drive 5Km to a point and drive 5Km back on our chosen planet. My group decided on the planet Ganymede, which is one of Jupiter’s…

Assignment: CAD
For this assignment, I was tasked with either creating something in CAD, or following a tutorial and writing about. Since my experience in CAD was minimal to none, I decided that following through the tutorial, and then creating my own tutorial based off of the stuff I learned. In this tutorial I will teach the…

Assignment: Robotics
For this assignment I was tasked with creating a device using an Arduino, and from that I was basically given free rein to make whatever I wanted. I decided to try to recreate as best I could a traffic light. Before I creating this though, I created a flowchart to map out my process and…
