• Take 3d photo

• Turn the photo into a hologram

• Project hologram 

• Learn how to code for a beating heart

• Learn how to take a photo of a beating heart

• Make a hologram of the beating heart 

  
  

  Oct. 8 I continued researching holograms, how to code for holograms, how to turn an image into a hologram, etc. 

  Oct. 14. I answered the WISRD survey and just did more research on materials for holograms, hearts, and how a holographic heart could be made. 

  Oct. 15-  I researched some interesting facts about holograms looked up the meaning of a hologram and added all those things to my poster including some things about my project into the poster and the purpose behind holograms.

  Oct. 16- After having Megan review my work on my poster I took out the information about my project and only included information and my research about holograms. I also started researching how the brain processes holograms and stereoscopic images. 

  Oct. 17- On this day I also looked up kid-friendly things that kids might be interested in and want to look at. 

  Oct. 18- I made another poster for my station so people would know that my station was specifically based on holograms. 

  Oct. 21- I prepared for Dark Matter Day by starting by working on the poster for my holograms. I then continued my research on holograms, stereoscopic images, and how the brain processes these things.  After researching these things I added important and relevant information to my poster while also making it easier to understand. 

  Oct. 22—On October 22nd, I made some changes to my poster and checked to make sure I included relevant things about holograms and not include information about my project. 

  Oct. 23- Dark Matter Day I didn’t do anything I just looked through some 3d images to see which ones I'd like to include for kids to see, I also doubled my holograms poster to make sure everything was up to par. 

  Oct 28- Absent 

  Oct. 29 Absent. 

  Nov 1- No school 

  Nov 4.- I caught up on all my entries

  Nov. 5th- Researching how to code for control of a 3-dimensional digital object and finding how can I take data from a cat scan and a MRI and turn it into a hologram.

  November 8th- I’ve researched how doctors look into the Human body to see what’s happening inside. I found that first doctors used X-rays which used energy beams that go through your body for the detectors to capture the beams. CT scans do the same thing except CT scans use a higher dosage of radiation and the beams rotate around your whole body capturing a 3d picture that contains more information and a clearer look than X-rays. CT scans also take a shorter amount of time and can be done in a minute which is useful for when a patient needs emergent treatment and you need to find out what’s going on, for example, if a GSW (gunshot wound) victim came in and needs immediate treatment. I’ve also looked a little bit at an MRI but I need to read more to report about in my journal. Megan and I also decided that we would come up with questions on Monday for this cardiologist.

• On November 11th, Megan and I made questions for a cardiologist who is a friend of Robin Follet, and the purpose is to help me with my project.

• On November 12th I spoke with Dr. Joanie and my old principal Dr. Noise and I will be meeting with them in the next few weeks to catch up but also to ask questions about the technological aspect of holograms.

• November 19th- This day I was updating my draft of what I would like my poster to consist of and the format I would like to put it in. I also did a bit of research on turning an MRI into a 3D print but I was not able to do a deep dive because it was time to go so I decided to continue the next day.

• November 20th- Today, I did a deep dive on how to turn an MRI into a 3D model and if it is possible, and it is. I’ve found links to show me exactly how to do it and resources on what to size it as. The goal now is to obtain an MRI and a DVD of its data so that I can make the Model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvTnLf8-x7U https://docs.juliaebert.com/projects/3d-print-brain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmoPhxqARQk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToIkOpDVfpw https://www.printables.com/model/207798-full-size-human-brain

• December 2-6 Monday I worked on my poster and did a little more research on MRI, but all I found was information in this link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK232486/, such as the basis of an MRI and the math that has to be done in order to get magnetic resonance imaging.

• December 9-13 All week, I have worked hard and diligently on my poster, Megan is working on editing my poster. This week, doing the poster has helped me see my work through the lens of science and progress. I’ve been able to see how much science my project takes/needs, and as I worked on my poster, I could see my progress and how far I’ve come with my work. The final thing is that I had a meeting with Robin, and it is official that I will meet with the cardiologist YAYYYYYY.

  December 16: I got help with all the edits on my poster from Megan and I was able to finish my poster so all that needs to be done is for it to be printed out.
