Adorable Star Wars BB-8 Droid brought to Life with 3D Printing


  • A software engineer in Canada recently created a 3D printed replica of the adorable BB-8 robot from the new star wars movie.
  • J.R Bedard was inspired to build his own version of the roly-poly robot after the real BB-8 droid.
  • The BB-8 bot that inspired Bedard is reminiscent of R2-D2, the oh so cute "astromech droid" with the beeping binary vocabulary that accompanies protagonists like Padme Amidala, Luke Skywalker, Obie-Wan Kenobi and Princess Leia throughout the "Star Wars" universe.
  • But unlike R2-D2, this new droid doesn't roll around on wheels in the film; it has a ball-shaped body that spins around, and up top it has a half sphere for a head. Attached to the body by magnets, the head wobbles adorably as the bot rolls over the ground.
  • It costs $149.99.

Do Now 12/14

I was chosen to do a good deed for one day wearing an invisible cloak the good deed that I performed was help all of the people who are hungry and can't afford food. I went into many different grocery stores and bought all types of foods that I thought people would enjoy. For example I bought sweets like different types of candys such as chocolate, lolipops, gummy worms etc.. That's not all I also bought healthy foods such as vegetables. For example I bought brocolli, carrots, mangos, apples, watermelon etc..
But all these single food items I bought weren't the only things I bought , I also bought foods that were already made and ready for you to eat. For example Hamburgers, french fries, burritos, milkshakes, salads etc.. After I bought all of these things I went around to many different towns and citys and gave those items to people who I saw needed them. Everyone was very grateful and appreciative. I'm very thankful I had the chance to make this day come true.

I believe a new class that we should add to our school is a fashion designing class. The reason for that is because most of the classes we have now are more boy like for example technology literacy, web, financial literacy. All classes that may interest boys more then girls. The class would meet after school at like 3:00 P.M so you have time to go to your lockers and get your things. Some things we would do is make clothing, think of different ideas, maybe have fashion shows and many other things.
I would look like a mini fashion studio with lights, curtains, and catwalk etc.. There would be music judges and alot more. It would feel just like an actual fashion show. They would have people wear their clothing to express what they made.

Do Now 11/9

My short break was just like any other ordinary weekend I have. I came home from school and went food shopping with my mom. Later on that day I went home took a shower and went to dinner in Outback Stake House.  After dinner I went home and watched T.V. The next morning I woke up ate breakfest and spent the rest of my day at home just relaxing.
Friday was one of those more fun days, I woke up, ate breakfest, got dressed and waited until 6PM for my friends to arrive so we can go to the mall. There was a group of 8 of us and we had a lot of fun just hanging out and catching up. The next day was another stay at home day but I had the chance to get my nails done. Then the rest of my day was spent at home cleaning. Last but not least came Sunday which was a day were all my friends came over and we sat by the fire until 7:30PM and everyone went home.

Web 2.0 Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

This year I am taking Italian II by Ms.Iannaocco. She teaches Italain I, II, III, and IIII. What I expected to learn when class first started was how to communicate, spell, and tell time, weather, and date. So far all these things I have learned during my first year of Italian. I learned the alphabet, numbers, and many more.
My Italian teachers grading policy is just like most teachers garding policy
            25% - Tests
            15%-  Quiz Grades
25%- Formal Assessments
            15% - Informal Assessments
            10% - Classwork and Participation
            10% - Homework 
. One thing that I like about this class is that we have a fieldtrip later on in the school year. I believe that we go to a resturant in New York City and learn how to cook and then eat what we have cooked. I find this very educational because since its a Italian subject learing different foods that relate to the language would help alot. Our homework is mainly on the computer and i find that helpful because its easier to read your answer and if you need help all you need to do is click a button.
