I wanted to learn how clocks work and how they help people tell time. My problem was to design a clock that is easy to read and easy to use. First, I learned about the hour hand and the minute hand. Then I planned my design and chose materials. I built my clock and tested it to see if I could show different times. I made improvements so the numbers were easy to see and the hands could move. I learned that engineers plan, test, and fix their work to make it better.

I read your project like I was there with you. It is exciting to see future engineer (yourself) engaging inthis beautiful research.
I definitely know how much effort goes into this especially with the prototypes setting.
And the great part is, you learnt how clock works and even design yours.
Great job our future Engineer
Awesome.
I love the inspiration behind the project.
Well done! This research question helped you learned how to tell time. I like your clock design alot.
Great job! I love how the quest to tell the time better drew you to this project. I could imagine the joy you felt after developing the fourth prototype. It is good to know your thoughts for the next project steps. All the best with that!
