What I have in mind for a final project?

post-thumb A couple of years ago, one of my best friends and I were participating in Maker Faire Cairo as Makers. She wanted to facilitate Engineering concepts to kids so we made a couple of prjects that day. One of them was a Bubbles Machine. It was a very low-fidelity project, made from a plastic bottle, CD, crafting sticks, 1 motor and all assembled with glue. Despite that it worked for only 5 minutes that day but I can't forget its impact on the kids and myself.

So, I decided to make one, one I am proud of this time. It's a project where its main actuators are a motor and a fan. its input signals maybe be an on/off switch based on user input or a sensor when the liquid needs refilling. Also, will need a casing cute as the frog and hopefully more beautiful than my hand sketch.

You may ask who will use this project? Of course, Myself! in addition to all people! I am not thinking it's more of a kids project. There is somewhere I love to go and walk where is also a restaurant that sells Ice Cream, It happens that most of the time beside that restaurant there is a man standing selling a manual bubbles machine, And that scene is just magical. what's more to life than eating ice cream and seeing bubbles flying around at the same time! :D
