Journal Entry Week 9

  • What are you doing?
For my 15% time project, I am making a houseboat that will be powered using solar cells. I am going to make the boat look nice as well as fully functional. The boat will have lights on the outside and the inside of the boat, all powered using solar power. The boat will have a motor as well as many propellors.

  • Why are you doing it?
I am doing this project because it will expand my knowledge in many aspects. I will learn to design and construct a model boat. This project will expand my knowledge of wiring and solar power. I will learn the organization of making my own product. This experiment will help my engineering skills because not only will my boat have to work, it has to look nice and be durable.

  • What does this help you do that’s important?
This will help me become a better problem solver.  will learn to work around and fix any problems that will occur while designing, constructing, and testing my boat. Along with become a better problem solver, this project will set a basis of solar energy, wiring, and design for future experiments.
