Generated by Facebook Photo Fetcher Yalie and Nathan are creating a car made from scratch that is the size of a remote-controlled toy car. By using HD glasses, one can control the cars movement and see through the camera mounted in the car in order to see from the perspective of the car. John and Klara are working on a voice-controlled longboard as well as a comic book. The comic book is about two superheroes who meet and both want the longboard. They end up getting into a heated fight over it. In the end, they agree to share the longboard, but the board ends up being evil. In order to fully illustrate their story, John and Klara decided to create a longboard that is completely controlled by voice. Hannah is in the process of creating and illustrating a comic book about a battle between a brother and sister. The two of them are fighting over a barren wasteland. Hannah began by sketching her comic and then continued to trace over it all with blue pen. She then drew over all the pencil lines with a sharpie pen and then began to ink her comic. Her next step will be to color the entire comic. Sam, Armando, Benji and Yash are creating a pogo boot as well as wall climbers to accompany their comic book. The comic book tells the story of an American super soldier, the ExoNaut, and Red, the Russian spy. To complete their project, the four boys are working on both a pogo stick boot and wall climbers. The boot is made out of parts from a pogo stick, while the wall climbers are built out of suction cups. Arlo and Max are currently writing and illustrating a comic book about Mr.Bada$$. Mr.Bada$$ is saving the city from his evil brother, The Pounder. Mr.Bada$$ gizmo is a propeller hat. Mr. Bada$$ always wears a tophat, and when he needs it to move someplace, the top hat will fly. Michael and Thomas have built a flame-thrower glove that, for the safety of everyone around, shoots pressurized water. The flame-thrower glove also has retractable claws so that if the superhero runs out of water or flames, the claws can hit the villain. While they dont have a specific superhero in mind, both Michael and Thomas had similar ideas about what they wanted their superhero to do - that made it much easier to team up and build a gizmo together! So far, the comic books and gizmos look great and the students are working to build the best products they can by Fridays presentations! Stay tuned for more updates on the Super Comics and Super Gizmos studio!
