I visited NASA to watch a SpaceX Launch! Sophy Wong 2019-09-21 | In July 2019, I went to Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida to watch the SpaceX launch for CRS-18. This was a resupply mission to the International Space Station, the launch vehicle was a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with a Dragon capsule. I went as part of NASA Social, and our group also got to tour Kennedy Space Center, and even walk inside the Vehicle Assembly Building. It was amazing!I was not really prepared for the intense heat and humidity in Florida, and I have never made a travel vlog type of video before, but I really wanted to share this experience, so I gave it a shot!NASA Social: nasa.gov/connect/social/index.htmlNASA CRS-18 Launch Coverage:youtube.com/watch?v=nPbA9-oLDI8&t=1592sNASA Crawler video: youtube.com/watch?v=Ui-ehJlGM1QCBS Miami Weather Forecast shown: youtube.com/watch?v=2lxLF2Pv89UThanks to my friend Allie for telling me about NASA Social in the first place!

Building an Apollo 11 Space Door for Project Egress Sophy Wong 2019-07-15 | Still can't believe I got to do this! I contributed a part to Project Egress, a project by Tested, Adam Savage, and The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Project Egress is a collaboration that brings together over 40 different makers and maker spaces to build a replica of the command module hatch from Apollo 11. Each maker was assigned a different piece of the hatch, and all the parts will be assembled by Adam Savage, Jen Schachter, and Andrew Barth at The Smithsonian on July 18, 2019. I made part number 34, one of the many linkages that connect around the perimeter of the hatch to allow the handle actuate the seal of the door. My part is 3D printed in PLA, and clad in brass, soldered with silver, and copper wire. I also added an NFC tag that can be scanned with a smartphone to pull up the Smithsonian’s webpage for Project Egress. I had fun in this video, but of course the Apollo command module hatch is more than just a “space door” - it is a historic piece of incredible engineering and design, born out of tragic loss and failure. Making this piece was a meditative exercise for me, and I really wanted to combine the technical precision of CAD and 3D printing with the organic, personal process of metalwork.Huge thank you to Jen Schachter and Tested for organizing and overseeing this project, and Andrew Barth for his incredible 3D model of the hatch. Super excited to see the replica come together on build day!More information about the Project Egress:https://airandspace.si.edu/events/project-egress-buildtested.com/science/space/880604-announcing-project-egress-project-national-air-and-space-museumLearn more about the hatch:https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/hatch-crew-apollo-11http://www.space1.com/pdf/news1296.pdfNFC Tag is part no. 2800 from Adafruit: adafruit.com/product/2800?gclid=Cj0KCQjwpavpBRDQARIsAPfTwiyTR6USwcFf4MmE6j7TrF5nQNkAWucBaarXzWy-f23t4-1HAqRSM90aArYEEALw_wcB

Raspberry Pi SelfieBot: Selfie Camera with a Personality Sophy Wong 2017-12-10 | SelfieBot is a project Kim and I originally made for our booth at Seattle Mini Maker Faire 2017. Now, you can build your own! A full tutorial for SelfieBot is up on the Adafruit Learning System at learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-selfie-botThis was our first Raspberry Pi project, and is an experiment in DIY AI. SelfieBot giggles, snoozes, and prints selfies on its thermal printer. Animated facial expressions and sounds are triggered by movement-based interactions. SelfieBot is contained in a laser-cut acrylic and 3D-printed case.Check out the project guide at learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-selfie-bot for more info and a complete walkthrough on how to build your own SelfieBot. Enjoy!Special thanks to Adafruit for providing the hardware to rebuild and improve SelfieBot for the guide and for being awesome in all kinds of ways.

LEGO Mindstorms R3PTAR: I made a snake robot! Sophy Wong 2017-02-02 | I've built some LEGO kits before, but this was my first time building a Mindstorms project. (My husband built the tank.) It was super fun, and I learned about how moving joints work. Excited to tinker around and make more robotic things. I used the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit, and the R3PTAR instructions are available at: lego.com/en-us/mindstorms/build-a-robot/r3ptarThanks for watching!Music:TheFatRat & JJD - Prelude (VIP Edit)youtube.com/watch?v=MXEr_KoBqqIThe Green Orbs - Snack Time
Seattle Mini Maker Faire 2016 was awesome! Sophy Wong 2016-10-06 | Seattle Mini Maker Faire was held on September 17-18 at the EMP Museum.
