Science Fair and Ambigram Cards
Friday, May 20: Pat, Bec, Nat, Mich, and I were sent to our science teacher (OST) because people at "Central Office" thought our projects were "missing requirements", which basically tells us that they were terrible.
It began with Nat telling me while we were waiting for math class that OST wants to see me; however, they make jokes about our teacher often, so I blew it off: "I don't care," which is true for me in anything regarding science fair projects. At this point, I did not know he wanted to see anyone else.
Then, our math teacher got call saying that he wanted to see students listed above.
While OST was asking for our emails, Mich said that last year she went to state for project regarding whether water or bleach killed more bacteria; due to not being able to grow bacteria fully, she partially fabricated her data because obviously bleach will kill more bacteria.
My reaction: "Wow, I really need to come up with better fake science fair projects," to which Bec agreed.
Pat and Bec were two first people to leave. OST proceeded and saw an email for an supposedly nameless project, then sent me mine and then Mich's while Nat kept on whining about how he wants to get his email next so he can leave --- and for some reason his project name was not recorded.
I understand why CO hated my fake-tastic project, but Pat and Bec had gotten to State Science Fair; Pat got 1st place in his category and Bec got recognition from Water Environment Association, yet somehow Central Office thinks their projects are "missing something".
Also, as gift to my classmates, I was to make cards where I make ambigram* out of their name and surround it with qualities describing them, write regular note on back, and fold it up into an envelope with only their name on display. However, I lack time to do so and decided against it (although it was decent idea).
*Definition: symbolic representation (In this case, it is word.) that retains meaning when viewed from different angle/perspective (rotated).
This kind of gift will definitely make those close to you feel special; if you do not know how to make an ambigram, you can search for an ambigram generator online.
Making an ambigram by hand is really more of matter of time and patience and I, as an amateur, have little patience, so you can observe how it works on your own, although remember that some words or sets of words are harder to ambigram than others.
