Project 2 Part 1

My post is going to be a little longer to make up for missing class on Wednesday for Career Showcase. Thanks for letting me be excused because I got several interviews at some great companies!!!

JUNK TIME

Mom and I with 4 acres of junk

So I took my mom down to the junk lady. After about 3 hours of rummaging and ideas that didn't quite pan out.... we found the right junk. An air pump and a hose. Although they look like they came together, the hose was actually from a vacuum. It just happened to have a very close fit.

The device

My first thought was to make an instrument out of it. To get a bucket and run air through it and by using all sorts of junk from the junk lady to make different sounds. Unfortunately I didn't find anything there that I felt was worthy of my project.

My next thought was to make a game out of it. To make a chute that you could drop ping pong balls in and shoot them at targets/ containers. This is still a possibility.

While brainstorming with my sister we came up with the idea of making something similar to a "Wacky waving inflatable arm tube man"! This is what I want to do. See the video below to see what exactly that is.

I have a lot of different ideas for what type of inflatable I can make but I'll save a little for the imagination until class on Monday.


See ya then!
