Day #6 Making the Andover Skate Park Sign

  Today, we started the construction of our skate park sign. Throughout the past few days, we have been deciding what our sign will look like, discussing what type of material, dimensions, and design. We settled on a 28inch by 17inch wooden sign. Sam came up with the idea to laser engrave the sign using a laser printer. He had talked to his comment Spencer about using the one in the computer lab. Fortunate for us, Spencer gave us the green light and the dimensions that we had to work within in order for it to fit in the printer. Malcolm brought us over to the woodshop as his advisor, Greg, gave us some lumber to work with. Hayden and Greg helped us cut the board to our preferred dimensions. We plan to make progress on laser engraving our sign. We also hope to add a coat of sealant to shield it from the weather.

Day #3 Clean-up Continued

  Today we went back out to the skate park to expand our progress from the prior day. However, before everything, I started out the day with a nice, big, healthy breakfast. Again, the maintenance crew let us use some of their equipment (rakes, shovels, brooms), and we headed on over to the skate park. Today we focused on clearing up the path that leads to the skate park. We cleared it from debris such as leaves, rocks, and sticks. The black flies were AWFUL, swarming our faces every second we weren't swatting our hand. But we still managed to have a good time with a shred sesh on our skateboards after

Day #10

Waking up with a good nights rest always feels amazing. This was partly because today we had our Senior lacrosse game today. Although I mentioned that we were most likely going to apply the resin today, we did not get around to it. Because we did not have classes, as senior varistiy lacrosse captains we had to due some work getting things ready for the game. However, on our way to breakfast we did in fact have a little shred session. Vibes. I hope to get into the art room this weekend to finish up my painting and my skate board deck. I am have currently the Charlotte Skyline painted on it currently but I was thinking of adding a 704 as it is my area number. We working on the other extras as well.

Weekly Reflection #2

Week 2 of Senior project is in the books. Due to the fact that the majority of the materials that we ordered for our project came in this week, we were able to get a lot of stuff done. While the first week we focused more so on cleaning up and making improvements to the actual park, the second week were did things such as constructing and sign, painting skate decks, and adding to our TikTok. Early in the week, we made a wooden Andover Skate Park sign that we will drill to a tree on the path that we cleared out to the park. Towards the latter half, when our decks came in, we turned our focus towards painting them. Another thing that we were fortunate enough to have plenty of was just straight-up skate sesh. With the park cleaned up and Sams longboard's arrival, we all had a board to skate on. We took advantage of this as we skated around campus and hit the skate park multiple times throughout the week. Malcolm taught Nate how to drop in on a feature as well as Sam how to Ollie. I re...
