This week was painful. We had Monday off for Italian Heritage day, so it wasn’t as bad as it could be. With the day off Charlie and I did some capstone work. We started building the platform, but because the spray paint took so long to dry, we had to take a break for the day, and we picked it back up on Tuesday. We finished making the platform then and proceeded to die. By that I mean we took the SAT Wednesday. As most people know, taking the SAT is so, so draining. Even on an easier SAT, it eats up all your energy. Even with that, we did get other Capstone work done Wednesday. Video Calling our raspberry pi mentor was very helpful. He put us in the right direction and we were able to order the materials, and we’re going to be writing the code for it next week. We got temperature probes, the pi circuit board and adapters that I personally don’t really understand, but that’s the beauty of having a partner: I don’t have to understand everything. Speaking of mentors, we were able to pick up the rest of our frogs this week as well. “But Connor,” I can hear you say, “I thought you already got all the frogs you needed.” We did. However, we relied on Animal Science students to feed the frogs and they let some of the frogs out. Somehow. This prompted us to get more frogs that we hope will make it to the new enclosure. This week, as mentioned earlier, we built the platform. We even installed the entire new platform and set up everything for the enclosure including the coconut fiber substrate and water and food dishes. We want to get more fake vines and bark for the enclosure, but other than that it’s all set up. We set up temporary heat lamps until the lamps we ordered get in. Hopefully on Monday we will be able to put the crested geckos into their new home. Tags: #Collaboration #creativity & innovation
