My project is an automata of a golfer swinging his club back and forth hitting a golf ball. 

The materials that I used are wood glue, paper, ink, wood, green foam, foam board, and a fuzzball.

The tools I used were a printer, a hot glue gun, scissors, pruning shears(I think thats what there called),sanding paper, and laser cutter.

Most of my problems were sanding the wooden sticks long enough so they would fit into the slots nicely, so I sanded them for a very long time and they eventually fit.

The best part was finally seeing my project in action without any flaws.

There were not any new tools that I had to use but I did learn sanding wood takes a very long time.

If I had more time I would create a more beautiful finished project, I could have been more careful with my gluing.

My project is a foam pineapple with plastic leaves that spin. Around the pineapple there are play-do flowers with little colored plastic confetti.

The materials I used are mainly a yellow foam, plastic colored confetti, 3D green paper, a motor, wires, batteries, a chunk of gray foam, green foam, green plastic fans, and play-do.   

The tools I used are a glue gun, a soldering iron, cardboard scissors, an exacto knife, and a safety knife.


The most challenging part of this project was hot gluing the two skinny yellow pieces of foam together to from a pineapple. I resolved this problem by gluing the thing together very carefully but I ended up with a small burn of my finger.

One of the coolest parts in my oppinion was getting to see my final work in action. I felt success when I found out my creation worked.

I learned how to use a soldering tool and I thought it was pretty cool putting the wires together.When I was using the soldering iron I forgot to bend the wires over one another and I was trying to hold them together and solder but I soon remembered that I should bend the two ends of the wire and clip them together.

If I had the time I would have made my pineapple rounder and cut it with an exacto knife.
