Here is my progress of the Penny hockey project:

I am starting this project off with writing my design brief and the constraint of my project.

This project taught me a lot. Whether it was learning how to use different tool and machines to build the physical board in the beginning of the project, or if it was coding and sodering the LEDS to the arduino, I learned many new skills. Not only did I learn many new skills, but I was also given the chance to let my creativeness flourish. In all, this project taught me many things, let me be creative, while also letting me have fun!
