Week 7 20% Project

During week 7 of my 20% project I have mainly been focusing on my finals for all of my classes because the quarter is ending this week. Since we still have quite a bit of time to work on the project we have decided to give it a break for this week and focus on our finals. Even though this class and project is extremely important, I still have four other classes I need to worry about. I even have a final in this class on the book that we have been reading. I am stressing a lot about my other classes so I haven't been able to think about the 20% project really at all. What we still need to do is work on the presentation. My partner and I still need to film the person we're giving the cleats to doing all of the things to show that the cleat is reliable. This includes: running, batting, and fielding.

Week 6 20% Project

During week six of my 20%  of my project my partner and I started to work on our presentation for the 20% project. Even though our end product isn't finished yet we still started on our presentation instead of waiting until last minute to do it. What we have included in our presentation so far is the challenges we have faced this year during the project. The biggest problem we have faced this year during the project is worrying about if the bottom of the cleat will stay connected to the shoe. We are very confident in using the gorilla glue so hopefully it won't fail us. We are going to film the guys running the bases, hitting in the cage and taking ground balls from our coach.

Week 5 20% Project

During week 5 of my 20% project we have done very little stuff.  My partner and I were mainly working on our 30's project for this class. We had to make a power point  and present it in front of the class. We also had to write a paper on our topic on the 1930s so that took up a lot of our time. What were looking forward to is our finishing product. We are still extremely worried about if the bottom of the cleat will come off of the shoe. We have looked up gorilla glue and read some reviews on it. Overall the product seems very reliable, so that's what were probably going to use to put the shoe together. We have been slacking which we can not do. We need to put our priorities first and get this project done. We are very confident that our end product will be a success.

Week 4 20% Project

During week four of my 20% I haven't been doing much. I have been really busy with baseball and school that I didn't have time to do anything this week. So at then end of this week all I did was I started to look ahead. What I need to focus on is maybe find a different way to make the pair of cleats really comfortable. The reason for that is because if you feel good and look good then you will play good. So I need to find a way to make the shoes more comfortable then they already are. My partner and I are extremely excited for what the end product will look like. What I was thinking about for the extra comfort is inserting an extra sole in there so it will make it more comfortable and your feet won't hurt after you use them. Ready for week five.
