Power Novato
For this project, we were asked to make an electrical grid that would have the ability to power Novato or San Marin High School. We decided to do San Marin instead. We found that Bovato needs 140 kWh. Industrial energy consumes about 55,013 a month and resedential energy costs about 573 kWh a month. Finally commercial electricity avareges 5,532 kWh/month.
Generation Ideas
Solar-
Clean alternative to fossil fuels
Free after installation besides maintenance
Unlimited Energy as long as sun exists
Availiable to all corners of the globe
Becoming chepear by the day
82 watts per square foot
1 solar produces 1 kWh in a day panel size
Cost 11.5 million dollars to power all of Novato school district using solar

Robot Art Show
For this task we decided to make the Mario theme song play off of a buzzer on a breadboard. We had to use the Arduino codes to program it into the notes to play the sound. We also had lights to go along with the song, but the day of the presentation our lights did not work. During this time of work we had multiple test runs in order to tune it to the right note and that took a series of redoing the code. At the end we got it to work and it worked great.

Reflection
This project was definitely not an easy project. It was as annoying having to redo the code and we had many days where I was out and I’m glad that our project went the way it went. It was also a little frustrating when the lights didn’t work but the song made up for it. My partner did a great job and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner.
