ZOO + Fued + Food - Paul Deardorff

I had an incredible weekend. It started off with a great end to a Friday with the group presentations. I felt like I was back at the State Science Fair in 8th Grade giving my presentation to about 20 science judges and a crowd of people. It was very fun and exciting to also see the work of other teams as well. On Saturday, we went to the zoo which I had been to before when I was about 7 years old. I remembered some of the exhibits but most of them were new to me. I especially like to watch the monkeys because of their behavior which parallels the actions of humans very closely. On Sunday we went to the beach which was not as exciting because I caught up on my summer reading, but I did enjoy the change in atmosphere. After the beach, we played a game of Family Feud (or building feud) which was very fun. I enjoyed the adobe flash graphics which were fun. I tried to figure out how they were able to write the game in ActionScript 3.0. Turns out it is very simple...maybe I will make one in my free time. The boys team won, but the girls put up a good fight by winning the points that really counted.

To bring up something new, I am going to try posting a video to share! I am going to source it through HTML using an external video uploader. It is a WorkingModel demonstration of a car crash test which I made. I call it "The Preliminary Crash Tests of the Safest Car in the World"!!!



Enjoy! I will post pictures of the starting work of the final sculpture! I can't wait to get started!

Best Regards,

Paul Deardorff
