For our final project we needed to make a Clock face. We were given the hands and Clock mechanisms but we needed to make the numbers clock stand and clock face out of three different machines in the Innovation center. I decided to make the clock face out of mat board, the numbers using the vinyl cutter, and a clock stand using the 3D printer. Everything was pretty basic because we have used all of the machines before, the only hard part was decided how and what to do for each part.

This Final clock project was one of my favorite projects this year. We got to use different machines and then put them all together to make a really cool object. This project was pretty easy because we have used all of the machines already. I'm very happy with how my clock turned out with how little time we had to do everything. Overall thought I thought that this was a great way to end the semester and the class IDEA.
