Seaons Clock

For my final AP in my STEAM class, Light, Sound, and Time we looked into many concepts such as sundials, sextants, longitude, and latitude and ancestors of time devices. We also were challenged to read a book called Einstein’s Dreams and presented to our class some basic and complex ideas about time discussed in the chapter. We dove into learning about different time zones and time paradoxes in space-time too. But for this final assignment, we were tasked to do research on a couple of time-telling devices, then after finding some to try and take inspiration from it and make your own. During this last unit of the course, my peers visited the Adler Planetarium and we also planned to host guests form a University to help us gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Personally, I found this course fun and challenging at the same time I have taken in a lot of information and it will definitely help me in impacting my future. Below is my presentation, enjoy.

In conclusion, I really liked the project. It was great to get in this creative mindset and make something that hasn't been made. The drawback that I take from this is the amount of time I had to complete it. If I had more time it would be more clear and thorough. Also, I would have loved to create a prototype.
