Day 07 05/18

 Today we wrapped up our sign making and it looks outstanding! We went to Spencer, early, like 9:00 AM to get a head start on our printing. We designed the text and chose Super Smash. It really justified the size and style we wanted and it was funny because Spencer actually downloaded it as a joke originally. Next, we chose vectorized images and posted them on our template. We threw our sign in the bed and started the printing process. We hung out with spencers puppy, played VR, and headed to hang out with ben at the Skatepark. Boards arrive tomorrow and we are going to paint them with Corby!

Peaceee.

Day 03 05/12

 Today we cleaned the park some more and specifically focused on the pathway to the skatepark. We got up at 9 A.M. and headed to maintenance. We grabbed our rakes and shovels to get to work on clearing the path to the park from the road. All of us got to work to clear it up real nice for the local skaters to find easier. After we completed the path, we moved our leaf piles and admired our hard work. It was really cool to see the skatepark look so much nicer in just 3 days already. The skate park has never been so lively...next up is our welcome sign for the skaters. We're psyched for what's coming up next!

Day 05 05/14

 The final day of week 1 of senior project. We are dedicated to making this sign for the skatepark and have the help to do it. I called Jill and she confirmed we could get the supplies needed to make the sign and keep it weatherproof. Then, Malcolm called Greg and we got wood to make the sign for the park. We drew out the sketch and decided to use waterproof spray paint. One of us is going off this weekend to gather those supplies, but Malcolm's sketch is super cool! Our boards were on backorder, so I am reordering them in all black. Hopefully, they still come out dope though! We're excited for these to come in and get after what we wanted to do in week 1.

Weekly reflection #2 05/23

 During the second week of our senior project, we had much more success with customizations on the sign and skate decks. Early on we cut the wood for the sign, gathered materials for our skate decks, and programmed the design for our sign. After a lot of work, we are very satisfied with what we have completed. The skatepark looks great, and we even found two students who are going to win skate decks. Also, not being a painter, I have found a ton of joy in the painting process with our boards. To add, I have come to enjoy skateboarding a lot more. We have had great times with Ben and some students during our project jamming out to MGK, skating, and sipping arizonas. I would have never liked MGK's music without being introduced through the skatepark. I landed an ollie for the first time and dropped in on the q-pipe. Nathan learned to pop-shuvit and drop in as well. Who knew Malcolm was such a great teacher! It's easy when he's been doing it for so long, I guess. I am very sat
