My Inquiry About Time Travel

Inquiry Reflection:

– I stayed up till 1am, getting all the animations done the night before. I added more slides since my first presentation.  

– I actually had fun presenting my inquiry.  

– I’m glad that at least three people found the animations helpful. As I’ve mentioned before, pictures help me understand things.  

– Time travel is hard to explain without drawing diagrams, so my first idea was to have a whiteboard behind me, and I draw things in real time. Then I figured out how to draw and animate on powerpoint, so I used that instead. I think that was a good idea because then I wouldn’t have to worry about thinking what I’m drawing next.  

– I forgot to bring my Time-Turner necklace and my mini telescope, but that’s ok. I had the TARDIS and Flux Capacitor models.  

– While presenting, I tried to not speak quickly, because I usually talk very fast when I’m talking about something I’m passionate about.  

Core Competencies:

Communication – Making the animations to explain
Creativity – The topic of time travel.

Drafting and Design 11 Self Assessment

Thing:

This is is the birdhouse assignment. It was to get us familiar with the controls in Fusion360. I added a flower because I wanted to.

Core Competency Stuff:

Creative Thinking – Making a flower, then mirroring it so it’s on both sides of the roof.

Communication – I understood the assignment, and if I was stuck, I would look for help in YouTube tutorials. The next step would be to ask for help.


Critical Thinking – “I can experiment with different ways of doing things”
