Week 1
This week was spent around coming up with some designs for the final project
Ideation
I spent a lot of time this week thinking about different ideas of what I could do for the final project. At the end I came up with an idea of a table for my room.
Concept
I want to make a sand table that is constantly changing. The initial conecept came from this video linked below. The idea is centered around having a table sitting with fine sand in it. There is a magnetic ball on the top of the sand that continuously moves around based on the electronics hidden below. The table will be made to look like there is nothing but a wire connected to it for power. On the inside should be sand that is covered in a glass plate and the ball inside. Youtube link
