I found a robotic arm controlled wireless. The person who built it was only 14 at the time. I think this is really cool because you can make it do stuff for you. Then i could just lay in my bed and control it. This is sweet.
I think this is a sign of us doing some things without your help. we need to go on our own with out you giving us directions every 5 seconds. It means that you are sick of nagging us.

I would do the diy doorbell spy cam.I would do that because you never know who is at your front door until you open it.I think it is smart because there could be some one who is trying to harm you and you could check by looking at your phone.It would be nice if you were on vacation and someone was at your door and you could see who was at your house.I think that is the smartest diy.
I think we are doing projects without alot of direction because we need to start to do it ourselves.We need to grow up and not have someone telling you what to do every step of the way.People are so use to being told everything instead of working for it.They choose to be lazy.That is why we aren't getting alot of direction.

The thing that I think is interesting are Virtual Goggles. I think they are interesting because you could see the world in virtual form. You could go online and go to a place you wanted to go and use them. You need simple stuff that you can get from your home. You need safety goggles, large piece of cardboard, pencil, craft knife, tape, and a Smartphone.
You can do it yourself without help from a teacher. I think that you let us on our own so that we can learn leadership. We also would use our own skills to do it. If we do it wrong them you can help us. We also need to learn responsibility from this experience.

The DIY invention that I think is interesting is Cubix: Or, What To Do With Extra Cardboard Boxes. It is interesting because they turned regular cardboard boxes into a digital pixel. Xavi Tribo paired 64 cardboard boxes into a servo and controlled them with 8 Arduinos. A projector lights up the boxes lighting up the turn motion to to map the 3D pixel rotation. Tribo even threw in a Microsoft Kinect into it to make it interesting.
Our current project is doing it by our self because you are not guiding us through every step. You are letting us do our own things with our own opinions, without your help. We also don't have your opinion with parts of it. We can't just ask you for help we have to figure it out by our self. We are also using our self direction with this project.

I would choose the Prosthetic hand.
I would do this because this can really help kids and adults.
This would be really fun to make because when you think about it your are helping a person out a lot.

i think that "gray matter: how to make cheap fake gold" is interesting. i just think it would be cool to make fake gold.
it is doing it ourselves because we are not getting directions from you. we are not with partners.

The DIY project that I thought was interesting is the Raid Your Kitchen To Build This Potato Chip Speaker I thought it was interesting because it shows how to make a speaker out of a potato chip.
I think the project we are doing in class is DIY without much direction from the teacher is because she wants us to learn how to work by our selves so we don't have to rely on people all our life.

I think the DIY article, 'Hacked Pinball Machine Turns Your Game Into A Poster' is very interesting. I found it interesting because they turned a game into a printer. The man who invented it, Sam van Doorm, tested 50 types of paper as ready-to-ink playing surfaces. He named his machine after his friend Styn, who helped him build the printer.The pinballs roll around like they would in a game, but they are dipped in ink. Each game pattern is painted onto the paper. That is why I thought this was an interesting DIY project.
I think our current project is do it yourself because we need to be prepared to do things on our own. If people just explain everything out to you may never learn how to do some things independently. She may want us to do it by ourselves so she can see how well we have been paying attention to the things she has taught us without any help. Some things in your future require work to do by yourself and if you are not prepared you will have no idea what to do. That is why I think our current project is do it yourself.

I think that is "Raid Your Kitchen To Build This Potato Chip Speaker". its cool but kinda worthless to have its very interesting. To see a potato chip speaker. i would see if it would work.That what i think about it.
Why i think the project is do it yourself.Is so we can learn to do it yourself.And we can learn on how to do it yourself instead of of having people do it for us s much.That is the reason why its do it yourself.

Here are three reasons why I think the DIY project is cool. It is a Quad Copter. It weighs fifty pounds. It is also the worlds first unmanned Helicopter. As you can see why I like this helicopter.
Here are three reasons why I think we are focusing on DIY. It will help us with 21st century skills. The 21st century skill self direction. She does not want us to copy.

The link that I like is make a Zoetrope Out Of A Turntable. The reason is there is a lot of wark to do on it. there are multiple step's to do. There are six different muteriles that you need for it. They are interesting to make for you to play with.
They are hard to make that makes them fun to make at home. Your mom might help you.

I would choose the motoerized bike. I think it would be fun to rider it. I think it would make my commute better. You could feel the wind in your hair on hot days. But it would be cold in winter.
I think the project is helping us with self direction. Another thing is it helps to work with partners. Also it would help you learn how to figure things out. I like working like this. that is my opinion.

I would use the dyi doorbell spycam. I would use this because when your home alone you can see who is at your door without opening it. This is a very helpful product you can also do this when your not home and to keep an eye on your house when your not home.
I think the project is difficult without self direction but also easy. this project is also helpful because of the partners but i also think that working with partners is difficult because some partners wont work they will just sit around. this project also helps us with learning about what we have as our project. i like this project.

I think I like the garden thing they did. I like the way they did it and how they did it. They did a great job on the garden thing. I wish I can do that at my house. I was wondering how they did it.
I think they would need directions to read but without someone telling them. They are very good at their job. Their so good at their job they should do it any were. They are ok with their job that they can do anything. They can do anything with the garden like the way they can put it up on the wall.

The DYI invention i find interesting is an android device that can turn into a pocket sized media center. I find this interesting because I have an android phone that I can use. I can play all kinds of cool games on it. It would be cool to use all the apps in a media center. As you can see I really like this.
I think this project is do it yourself because all of all directions are on the computer. It is also dyi because we get to choose what program we use. I like this type of project better because we can kind of work at our own pace. I hope we get to do more projects like this year. That is why I thnk this project is DYI.

I would do the DIY doorbell spy cam. I would use the spy cam because when it is dark at night anyone could be at your door. You could even use it when you are not home. For example when you are at school you could look at it when you have time and you know one of your relatives is home you could text them and tell them not to answer the door. You could even use it when you are home alone.
Also,when you are on a family vacation and someone is trying to break into your house,you can call the cops without that person knowing and still have the evidence on your phone. It is a very cool and protective app/thing to have on your phone. You can even prank your parents/relatives all day long. I would use it for protection and safety. That is the DIY I would use out of all the others there were.

The thing I liked was the Fire-Breathing, Jet-Powered Dragon. It was cool. I liked it because the end of it's tail is like the ones off of airplanes. It took him lot of time and money. It can fly 100 mph. It can also breathe out fire. How cool is that.
I think that we need to learn how to do stuff ourselves without spoken directions. I know how to follow directions better when they are written. It helps us so when we go to college. I don't like it when teachers are hollering out directions. It's annoying.
it is very cool
