Learning the Guitar
My name is Annika and I learned how to play the guitar. I learned some basic chords and how to read tablature, that’s music notation for where to put your fingers on the guitar. I also learned some picking patterns and how to play some of my favorite songs.

Building a bike ramp
Hi I’m owen and i wanted to know if i could build a bike ramp that wouldn't break when i hit it.
I started by cutting out one of the sides, and then traced it so the other one would be the same and not lopsided. Then I cut out the “ribs” and screwed it together. Then i soaked the plywood to make it more bendable so i could shape it to the ramp and put it all together.

Hello, my name is Alex Suaste and I made some shoes. Before making the shoes, we were asked to have a driving question for our project so I came up with this one “ How can I make shoes that last long, are comfortable and are able to protect my feet.” To start my shoes i first got a template of the shoes i wanted to make. After getting the template I cut out all the pieces needed for my shoes (I think there were about 6 parts). After doing that I lined them up on some leather and used the pieces to cut out the leather.
Once I had cut out the leather nicely I used a mallet to make some holes in the leather so I could sew it. After sewing it I was basically done so yay. Sewing it was hard though and really annoying as I had to line it up correctly and fold some parts together.
It. was. SO. fun.

My name is Skyler and I am a senior this year. My driving question was: How can I learn to play guitar in time with other people. Over the trimester the band played together and learned multiple songs until we decided to play seven nation army for the exhibition.
