Gavin's Project Logbook
Info about the project...from the source!
It’s that time again, friends and colleagues! What time, you may ask? Blog time! We’ve actually got quite a bit done this week, compared to the last time we talked. We’ve begun printing the trifles from Project Logbook Entry #1, although this may take quite a while. Then, we’ll hand them out at various places, and document the amount of certain reactions. These reactions will be categorized into three types: positive, negative, and mixed. This will allow us to make an educated guess on how people react to gifts that they don’t expect, and our big project reveal will include these statistics; this gathering of data, however, is going to be later on. Quite later on. One of these trifles are viewable in a picture below (the prototype, at least). Once we’ve printed these, it’ll just be a matter of time before we’ve gathered all the data we need. I honestly hope that we can keep the boulder rolling, even though it’ll be an uphill battle. Well, it seems we’re parting ways again, so I hope you’ll be staying safe and keeping on the learning path.

Happy Groundhog Day, friends and colleagues! Bad news is that we’ve not got a plan for much. This shows that we’re lacking, as stated in Project Logbook Entry #5, a solid foundation. I’d even go so far as to say that our project’s foundation is deteriorating, wasting away to nothing. We need to get on the ball and get said ball rolling. Either way, we need to, as according to Lewis from Meet the Robinsons, “Keep Moving Forward”. We need to keep trudging on, in a place where, in the words of Douglas Adams, “The chances of finding out what’s really going on in the universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied.” This, and only this, will get the ball rolling. It’ll get the ball rolling, even if the ball is superglued to the ceiling. So, as you talk of the ball, you realize that it’s time to part ways. As you walk away, you hear the basic phrase: “Stay safe, and keep on learning!”
Hey there, friends and colleagues. Just a regular update today, nothing special. Sad thing is that we’ve not gotten much done over the past week, so there’s not much to report; one thing we did get done, however, is the elevator pitch. This big speech is approximately thirty seconds long, and it is simply a way to lobby someone about your project in a short amount of time (such as an elevator ride). You have to do these things to have a successful one: speak quickly, but not too quickly; speak clearly, so that the target can understand you; keep presence of mind in the situation; and hit all the points you want to hit. I hope that we can finish prototyping the keychain soon, and get a committee of a few of us ready to start the big research. Either way, familiarize yourself with the nomenclature of a project, and you’ll somewhat understand the project. Even in parting ways, stay safe, and keep on learning!
Happy 2018, my friends and colleagues! Today, we’ll be talking about something dreaded, year after year: New Year’s Resolutions. Now, I’m not talking about the amount of pixels on your iGalaxy Fifty-Seven, but rather how to resolve your problems. This year, I resolve to be more connected to you. Yes, that means you. This means that I will have to be better with how I plan my blog posts. I also resolve to get the ball rolling, to where we’re doing something each week. This could mean that I will have to do a little quid pro quo. I’ll have to trade off something I like for something that I need to do for the project. Either way, it’s going to be for the better of the project. Thereby, I can communicate, to you, good news about our project. Either way, stay safe, and keep learning on!
Well, I’ve got good news and bad news, friends and colleagues. Bad news is that over the past week, we have not accomplished much at all. This means that we don’t have a solid foundation for our project, and we can’t build it up without said foundation. Good news is that we are beginning to prototype the little trinket I mentioned in Project Logbook Entry #1. This is an essential piece of our project, and we can’t start without it. This step symbolizes the beginning of a long journey that will, eventually, make our community a better place. In the words of Weird Al: “That’s a big part of my life - doing things that I’m not prepared to do. Doing things that I don’t know how to do, and keep doing them until I get good at them. I always try to put myself out of my comfort zone and out of my depth, and hopefully somewhere along the line I’ll catch up.” I want this to put me out of my comfort zone, but not to cause trouble. I want to expand my comfort zone. Either way, I’ll see you all later, and don’t forget to never stop learning!
Greetings, friends and colleagues! I bet you wonder what, exactly, I like about this project. Well, even if you don’t, here’s my answer! I like that this project is whatever we make it to be. This symbolizes that high school is whatever you make of it, despite your hopes for the future. I also like how this symbolizes how the world works. In this world tuned to the wrong frequency, you have the potential to set it straight. All that is required from you is work, thought, courage, wisdom, docility, and a good sense of scale. Yet another thing is that I can learn to work in a group here. I have a horrendous past in group work, and I have been given a clean slate along with this challenge. These and other reasons show why I like the idea of this project. Remember to stay safe, and keep on learning!
Good morning, my friends and colleagues. I am writing today about what exactly I can add to my team. So, without further ado, on to the show! I am, as some of you may know, a very knowledgeable person in STEM subjects. This means I should be able to carry out the project’s procedure with ease. I can also easily carry out constructions of objects in computer-aided design software. This should make it easier for me to use the 3D modeling software in which we will design the trinkets mentioned in Project Logbook Entry #1. I am also a rapid learner in most subjects. This can help when I need to learn the procedure that our project will be following. I, despite these strengths, can forget to do things easily. This weakness can be counteracted by making a note of the things I need to do. Now that it’s near time to leave, remember: stay safe, and keep on learning!
Welcome back, my friends and colleagues! This logbook post is *gasp* a brief history of Project Emotion. We originally started with an idea of 3D-printing prosthetic dog legs, but needed a way to fundraise. We thought of walking dogs, but decided that people would not be likely to entrust their pets with strangers. Then we thought of 3D-printing dog tags, and liked the idea. We changed our project to selling 3D-printed dog tags to raise money for printing a prosthetic dog leg as an end goal. We then thought “Hey, how in the world are we supposed to advertise this?”, and scrapped the entire idea. It seemed too ambitious. We then went back to the drawing board, and the drawing board came up with the idea of doing a social experiment on how others’ emotions affects your behavior. Just kidding. Kael and Wesley came up with it. We then liked the idea, and all we needed was a name. After about an hour of racking my brain, I came up with the name Project Emotion. So, that’s how it came to be. Now, it’s time for us to part ways again, so stay safe and keep on learning!
Hi, there! My name’s Gavin, and I’d like to personally welcome you to my 20Time Project Logbook! We are doing a school-year-long project now known as Project Emotion. It is, essentially, a social experiment on how the way you’re treated affects your response to people. We will be using a 3D printer to print little curios, which will have positive words inscribed upon them. These little trinkets will be handed out to people over the course of the project. This will be just one piece of our experiment, but a big piece of this is the people in our community. We hope to, once finished, have enough data to show how the human brain responds to different initial emotions. This could be used to help in the community, by making the people of the community knowledgeable in how to approach other people. Either way, it’ll be a good thing to do for the community, and it should encourage kindness overall. So, that’s our project! I’ll see you all later, and remember to keep on learning!
