In this project, we explored the Physics of Sound and the properties of Sound Waves. We designed and created "sound installations" that will be placed in and outside of the school. We hope to also improve Mindfulness through creating these installations which will be "mindful experiences" for those who discover them.

Topics:
- Waves and wave properties
- Sound waves as mechanical waves
- Mindfulness
- The Brain
- Design, Engineering, Art and Physics of a Sound and Wave installation

Process:
1. Problem Definition: create an interactive sound wave or wave installation at HTHCV
2. Research: research with help from sound experts Victor and Alec, the following type of sound devices (descriptions to follow):
- Aeolian Harp- string instruments type of installation
- Visual Wave Installation: purely visual
- Mega Washboard Turntable - percussive instrument type of installation
- Metallophone - bell instrument type of installation
- Pipe - o - phone: wind instrument type of installation
- "Metallo - pipe - o - phone":  CHALLENGE OPTION (HASN'T BEEN INVENTED YET)
2. Design: you will deisgn an installation that must be approved by Alex &/or Victor that will have a laser cut plaque

BADGES:
- Sound Waves Badge
- Sound Garden Mindfulness Badge
- Slinky Badge
- "Instructions" Badge
- DEAP- Design, Engineering, and Physics Final Badge
I hoped to have made a Mega Washboard Turntable with the rest of my group and place it in front of Ms. Sara's classroom, where it will be up for display and will have the ability to spin on a bicycle wheel.
