Camping trip
- My little sister went missing at night

batteries
- Panic struck the rest of the family.

Relief
- She got lost on her way to the restrooms
- It caused an uproar with my immediate
family.
- It could have ended up much worse

Avoidance
- This could have been avoided.
- If only the batteries were charged

Curiosity
I wanted to know if making a cost efficient
solar battery charger was realistic.

Price Webb
- Earned his doctorate degree in education
- Teaches physical science, CP physics, and AP
physics
- One of the most intelligent people in the
state.
![Page 11: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why Webb?
- Prior experience working with each other
- Teaches at Creekview.
- Flexible schedule
![Page 12: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The process
![Page 13: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step one: the start
- Set up meeting days with Dr. Webb
- His schedule was very lenient
![Page 14: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step two: the research
- Research
- Research
- Independent Research
![Page 15: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Step three: the Plan
- I needed to decide upon an appropriate
circuit and sketch it.
-Parallel
-Series
- Decide on the battery/solar panel I planned
on using
![Page 16: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step four: the hunt
-I needed to gather the materials
- Solar panel
- Rechargeable Batteries
- Battery Holder
- Soldering tool
- LED light
- Diode
- resistors
![Page 17: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step five: the assembly (1)
- To start, I needed to attach everything to a
breadboard to make sure the circuit worked
as I planned.

Step five: the assembly (2)
- Soldering
- Wiring
- Thinking
- Screaming
![Page 19: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Obstacle
- Wild goose chase
- Drive was exhausting
- Search took time
- Stores were out
![Page 20: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
More obstacles
Assembly errors:
- LED
-Stopped working
-Installation
-Diode
-wrong
orientation

Even more obstacles
-I had to deal with my poor work habits
-As, I'm sure, Ms. Lester could tell you, I am
not the most punctual student in the class.
-To overcome this, along with my
procrastination, I set up meeting with Dr.
Webb that I forced myself to go to
throughout the year.

Work habits
- The Senior Project has opened my eyes.
- Procrastination
- Resourcefulness
- Determination
![Page 23: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Communication skills
-I lacked communication skills
-I learned:
- Patience
- Formality
- Reliability
![Page 24: Senior Project speech](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ac132c1a28ab1b588b46a4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Future goals
- This experience has shown
me that I would still like to
follow my original instinct
of becoming and electrical
engineer.
- I plan to go to Georgia Tech
because it has one of the
best engineering programs
in the world.
