Final Project- Lantern
Our final project was an up-cycling project. For this we could work in partners, so Kylie and I were partners. We decided to recycle some old garden stakes and plastic containers into a lantern. Along with being an up-cycling project we had to use three machines from the Innovation Center. We chose the Cnc Router, Laser engraver, and vinyl cutter. We first used our designer notebook to sketch our ideas. Once that was done we created all of our digital files for each machine. Once that was done, we used each machine for each different parts to create the lantern. The Cnc Router was used for the lantern bases, the laser engraver engraved our names to the top of the lantern, and the vinyl would be put on the plastic so when the lantern is lighted up it would project a design. Once we had all of our pieces we assembled everything. After assembling everything we made the final product of an up-cycled lantern.
