final post
This year I had a lot of fun. I accomplished many things but I could have done many things different too. one thing I did well this year was building the pump. This was an activity that I was very interested in and worked on for many hours. one thing that I could have worked on was the one project that I made headphone that were stronger. I didn't really enjoy that project but I got it done and I drew it on sketch up. I think maybe if I had choose a more interesting project I would have been more interested in it. I looked forward to fixing up the paths but we sadly didn't have time to fix them up at the end of the year. I look forward to using the many skills I learned this year in the future.

A plunger pump is a type of positive displacement pump where the high-pressure seal is stationary and a smooth cylindrical plunger slides through the seal. This makes them different from piston pumps and allows them to be used at higher pressures. This type of pump is often used to transfer municipal and industrial sewage.

reaction to deep dive
This video explains the process of how people redesign of the shopping cart, which is a everyday item that people don't think needs to be changed. I think this video showed creativity in how they didn't shoot down ideas, they took every bodies ideas and toned them down.

left or right brain quiz
| Left Brain | Right Brain |
| 30% | 70% |
I am more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.this is why i am good at drawing and singing.

reaction to wallet activity
Building this wallet opened my eyes to a world of possibilities.I built a wallet for my Matt.the wallet i made was black and green.his reaction was that he enjoyed the creativity and the effort that i put into this wallet.How i got my ideas was because i created an empathetic relationship with Matt. The wallet could have been a little bigger so that i could have put more money in it. Over all the wallet inspired me to be creative with my design.
