Hand Drafted Drawings
Index Key
Below is a hand drafted drawing of an Index Key. We drew this in class to practice our hand drafting skills. It is an rectangular object with its front right corner cut 0.19 inches. Its back left corner is elevated so it is twice the height of the rest of the object. There is a hole that changes its diameter about half way through the object. There is also angled cut corners on the object.
Research and Other Projects
Made in America Invention Research Project
For this assignment we had to find an invention that was made/invented in America. I did my project about the medal detector.
Do Something Innovative: Invention Project
We had to come up with an idea or invention. For my invention I created the Migraine Sensitivity Glasses. They are for when you get a migraine and you are unable to get to somewhere dark and quite. You can adjust the amount of light that gets through the glasses, and the glasses have earbuds that can cancel out sound (you can adjust the amount of sound that you hear).
Sketches
X-Minute Sketch
Below are several sketches. We did them to practice our sketching skills. We had to draw the object in the number of minutes that was assigned to the object.
Vending Machine Solution
We were assigned to design a solution to prevent chips and other foods from getting stuck in the vending machine at our school (images below show problem). I came up with a conveyor belt solution for the problem. I drew the sketch below to represent my idea.
2025 Dodge Hellcat Design- FCA US Drive for Design Competition
We practiced car designing for the 2025 Dodge Hellcat Design- FCA US Drive for Design Competition. We then submitted our drawings to the competition. I like the look of cars from the 1920's and 1930's as well as the muscle cars from the 1960's and 1970's so I used those designs as inspiration.
