Week 11 20% Project

During week 11 if my 20% project, this week was an extremely important week for my partner and me. This was the week that we video taped our teammate in the customized cleats we made. He did a great job hitting in them. However, once he started to take off and run the bottom portion of the shoe came off on of the cleats. We think the reason for that is because we used hot glue instead of gorilla glue, and the hot glue basically melted because of the hear and wasn't able to stick as good. So now our focus is getting the cleats back together and getting them ready for our final present so we could show everyone what our first prototype.

week 13 20% Project

During week 13 of my 20% Project  we presented the shoe to the class.  I think my partner an I did a good.  We both were practicing what to say.  We worked hard trying to get the shoe intact and for it won't come off.  We both waited the last minute to began our project. Although we finish this project on time , I thought we were going to get a good grade on it.  But we didn't reach our goal. During the presentation I was a little bit nervous. I tried to get comfortable for I won't get stuck on any words.

Week 9 20% project

During week 9 of our 20% project I went to a couple stores to find a good pair of running shoes.  I was going to: Sports Authority, Target, and Sport Chalet.  These stores had the price to high or they did not have his shoe size.  So I decided to go to Big 5.  They had a really  good price and they had his size.  But before that I was getting nervous because I thought I wasn't going to his size and I was getting frustrated.  But I was lucky enough to find good pair of shoes.  We are going to start making a video for the shoes in action.  He is going to hitting, running the baseball and fielding.  To see if they are more comfortable than a regular baseball cleat.

Week 10 20% Project

During week 10 of my 20% Project, my partner and I decided to do a presentation to clean up our entire project.  We will include a every single thing we have done all year into the presentation.  Honestly, what I have learn most from doing this project is procrastination.  I am  a huge procrastinator when it comes to projects, however, I always get my stuff done and surprisingly I get it done.  I honestly think our project idea is a very good idea.  Yeah there are comfortable cleats out there, but our idea means that you can make absolutely every shoes into a an athletic pair of baseball  cleats. To my partner an I, we believe that our idea for the project is a really good idea because we both love baseball and why not do our project on something that we love to do and have fun with our project.

Week 8% Project

During 8 of my 20% project I was really busy with a bunch of other work from my different classes. For my algebra 2 class I was suppose to do a math project.  And I was trouble trying to finish it and that kind of hold m me back from getting my work done in my other class.  I don't want to procrastinate on this project.  I want to get this done for I could show my teammates that these could be more comfortable than the regular cleats that we use during practice and games.  I am happy that I got a good grade for my classes and also for English. I am working hard in all of my classes.  I would like to get a 3.50 GPA every time and that will make me happy.

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.
