8/22/25: This is my first entry!
Today, I examined algae and seawater under a microscope, and we primarily observed larval snails. I have almost nothing on my research profile, but it’s there.
I’m VERY excited to be in WISRD!
8/27/25: I worked on researching filters that remove dangerous bacteria, such as E. coli. Hopefully, with further research, I can identify other hazardous items to the human body. For the rest of this class next week, I’ll focus on lead in water and other chemicals that bacteria can be removed with filters, as well as how different immune systems can tolerate more diseases or be immune to them.
9/4/25: I worked on looking for cheaper solutions for the silk cellulose filter, which would help me continue my research and find other compatible filters that could filter other items like sewage and algae.
9/9/25: I couldn’t find a cheaper solution for chemical filters, but I did find the microscopes easy to use and discovered that I can filter. I also started my Inquire project
9/16/25: I finished developing my pitch, and I also processed my order for the water testing kit. I’ll work on having more water samples around Wildwood or bodies of water. The photos below is my research on the organism I found in the water
9/24/25: I assisted with setting up the gravity well. I'm currently waiting for my water tester, which will hopefully arrive this week or next. I also worked on collecting water samples for viruses in various parts of Wildwood. I will see if they grew any bacteria or anything. I also helped Niko with his project. I finished all the work I was supposed to finish
9/30/25: My tests are unappealing and unattractive. I don’t like this, but I will definitely test them next time they are available. I've been accepted to inquire. Right now, I’ll focus on studying for my tests and trying to grow more. I’ll wait for them to be ready.
10/7/25: One day of WISRD this week, I’ll merge it into the 9/30th. I did work on my dark matter project with the laser cutter
10/14/25: I worked on my Dark Matter Day project, fixing the part where the cardboard moves in the Glowforge. The printing took the whole class. Next week is dark matter day. I’ll be doing the finishing touches on our stuff, then we’ll be ready. Finished around 2 full prints of our bugs, were doing some examples for the kids, and it’ll be so cool, trust.
