In WISRD I have developed my writing skills this past week building my Vitea, White paper, and journal. https://docs.google.com/document/d/161OhnM7Lnyjtbm6ypPGibWLqBj4AiT-5_JDPmJo316g/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h2sQu3nKSroHvrYINgd_NxLhmqsWpW-HyXGHa3rbaFo/edit?usp=sharing

5/6/22

Today I have further improved my skill of self critiquing. (EVIDENCE) As I have been creating my vitae I was looking at my writing as if I was an employer. I have been editing my writing while keeping in mind, if I was an employer would I want to hire this person.

5/5/22

I have been advancing on developing clear and concise writing. My further improvements are (EVIDENCE) evident where in my white paper about fluid dynamics I go into deal with the connection of planes, turbulence, and turbulent flow. (EVIDENCE #2) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h2sQu3nKSroHvrYINgd_NxLhmqsWpW-HyXGHa3rbaFo/edit?usp=sharing

4/25/22

Today I advanced my skill of independence and problem solving by troubleshooting wire problems. (EVIDENCE) The method I used to trouble shoot was using a volt meter on each wire that should be getting signal. What I found was that every wire was getting the proper amount of volts, after the volt meter I checked every cable for a proper connection and found that they all were properly connected. This find navigated me to believe the problem in the fans not spinning is the Arduino or potentiometer.

4/22/22

Today me Jackson and Borga used the skill of collaboration to rewire/ solder the fan wires that we confirmed didn’t work. We used collaboration when (EVIDENCE) I stripped the wires and then held them in place where Borga was able to solder the cables. Once the cables were fully soldered I independently secured the connection in the bridge. After the connections were secured we successfully made all fans spin (EVIDENCE #2). https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-8IJIIPije2tEuVkHfmEiTLx060zFZDrxQtV5gUSIY0/edit?usp=sharing

4/15/22

Me and Borga used the skill of productivity. We made a lot of progress soldering the fans wire, currently we have 3 fans working and are trouble shooting to get the fourth spinning. (Evidence) My Job In this process was I stripped the wires as well as prepped the solder.

4/8/22

Me and Borga worked on wiring our fans to the Arduino and power unit. While soldering wires I observed that some of the wires were torn and non-functional. (EVIDENCE) I adapted around challenges by replacing the broken wires and Borga worked on soldering in the new ones. (EVIDENCE #2) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UfJzwgoSY-arqKE-6Zs_eCM8cBZ4iPdcYWxGfftD3E4/edit?usp=sharing

4/1/22

(EVIDENCE) I have Participated in the development of the institute by creating tweets updating the WISRD viewers about the Wind Tunnels progression and future plans. (EVIDENCE#2) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VEfLWfy-98WGSiKFSOlwW7uL_cI3eBII00XAiF6Z03A/edit?usp=sharing

3/22/22

Me and Jackson worked on the skill of productivity today. We were able to revise the test section and construct the wooden legs that will hold it in place.

3/12/22

Today me and Borga have used the skill of safety when soldering wires connecting the fans to the breaker.

3/7/22

We have made progress wiring the fans. This week I used the skill of safety when using a box cutter to adjust the size of our cones.

3/1/22

In wisrd we have started wiring the fans.

2/22/22

This week is wisrd we have started designing a way to measure laminar flow with yarn. We used wood glue to connect the yarn.

2/15/22

This week in WISRD me and the wind tunnel team sealed the box air tight using a caulk gun. Me and Jackson worked together to thread a metal piece that will be a way to rotate our air foil, we also cut and thread a metal rod to hold out air foil and sensors. I have finalizing the fans positioning and frame by creating squares to elevate the Hight of 2 out of the 4 fans to ensure there isn’t any contact between the fans. I have also measured, and cut down the card board to fit the fans. This week in WISRD I have practiced the skill of independence, I practiced this when I was building the fans frame independently, swell as adjusting the cardboard air ram/ funnel. I have also practiced the skill of safety this week when I was using the proper safety equipment to drill and saw the fans frame swell as cutting the cardboard.

2/8/22

This week In Wisrd the wind tunnel team have made extreme progress. We have completely finished the outer and inner box. I worked on the skill of independence this week and took initiate to design the frame that holds our four fans.

2/1/22

This week in WISRD I practiced independence when cutting the internal frame wood to size swell as assembling it, which will act as a test section.

1/21/22

In wisrd I helped finish designing the inside of the frame for the wind tunnel.

The wind tunnel group has created a new design of the internals of the wind tunnel to jam air into a more precise perimeter.

12/ 18/21

This week in WISRD I have practiced independence and completed the construction of our external frame swell as sand it, while the other group members were absent.

12/10/21

This week the WISRD team and I worked on practicing cutting plexiglass glass for our internal test section. I practiced the skill of safety making sure I was using the proper safety equipment and performance of tools.

12/02/21

This week in the wind tunnel group I have helped make progress on the design, we have complete more than half of the external frame.

11/25/21

The wind tunnel group has starting constructing the frame of the new design.

11/16/21

I have completed my wisrd inquirer on food and cognitive health.

11/12/21

After testing the wind tunnel group has decided to redesign the wind tunnel for better air flow and a safer design.

11/03/21

I have written evidence of my research on aerodynamics.

10/27/21

The wisrd group has successfully set up all four fans and motors.

10/18/21

The wisrd group has successfully re wired 3/4 fans and motors.

10/09/21

I have began researching fluid dynamics to help the wind tunnel team understanding fluid dynamics and the impacts of an air foil.

10/07/21

I finished recoding the Arduino.

9/28/21

I have started to help re code the Arduino.

9/05/21

The wisrd group has started re wiring the wind tunnel fans. Today in class I demonstrated leadership by creating a map of how are wiring/ cable setup will look like.

8/21/21

I joined the Wind tunnel group in hope to help design and code.

10/30/19

So far a salinity, humidity, and temperature sensor have been programed through the Arduino by me. I was able to program these by following simple instructions from my partner Nick and Arduino interaction page. In the near future I hope to have a life feedback from all three sensors running through the wifi router by ethernet cable.

11/14/19

After doing my part on the Arduino I have passed over the rest of the project to my classmate Nick a much more experienced coder. I have taken up the task to 3d design a case for the Arduino on blender which will be 3d printed. currently i’m learning about blender and watching tutorials.

12/13/19

The hydroponics group is doing very well and have sucesfully wired water pumps to flow water throughout the tubes where the plants will grow.

12/17/19

Currently I have become farmiliar with blender and am extremely close to finishing my case for the Arduino.
