Frankenstein-Craft

This is a collage of one of the coolest books ever written, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. She wrote the book when she was only 18 for a writing contest. It became one of the most famous horror stories ever and is the first science fiction novel.

My dad showed me the Universal movie from 1931 last Halloween and that version is how most people picture Frankenstein's Monster or The Creature (Frankenstein is actually the last name of the doctor who made him!). It is VERY different than the book! It is not really scary now, but is a little sad that people fear The Monster.

The windmill is from the last scene of the movie where The Monster runs away from angry villagers and they burn it down. It was very fun to build everything! My dad helped in planting all of the wheat seeds (he said there was hundreds bc we had to make the whole field) and doing filters on my screeshots. While I was building (and then setting it on fire!) he taught me about how movies are made, like how you can make "facades" of buildings that are actually just flat bc you don't go in the building for the photo and can trick the camera.

Justin's Apartment Building

I created a 2-storey apartment building. The building is surrounded with a garden and a lot of trees. It gives this place a very cool ambiance and fresh air, too. Good for the health and relaxes your mind as well. My creation is entitled "Justin's Apartment Building"

4 seasons by Aisha N.

Seasons

The beauty of the seasons.

Beagle & Bird on Ice

My picture is a nighttime scene depicting a beagle and a bird skating on a frozen lake. For a lake to freeze and be safe for ice skating the temperature needs to be below freezing which is 32° F and it has to be at this temperature or below for a few days, so the ice could be thick enough to skate on.

The Four Seasons

For spring, I made a pond surrounded by flowers and trees to represent the planting season. For summer, I made a swimming pool with a picnic because during the hot days people enjoy taking a swim and going outside. I made barn for fall because the leaves start to change and it's harvest season. I made a cabin for winter because people want to be inside to stay warm and cozy because of the snow outside. Weather prediction uses temperature and precipitation patterns to forecast events. Global climates vary due to geographical location, altitude, and large-scale atmospheric and oceanic systems.

What brings me joy

The Royal Castle during the Nighttime

Greetings, my fellow classmates. Under a shelter of twinkling stars, this majestic fortress stands tall! With its sapphire and gold spires reaching for the night sky, bathed in the serene glow of the moonlight. I took my time on this project, and I completed it in 8 days.

Ross Learning Space

"She wanted to put a whole learning center with pictures of the outside and inside. She loves books so she put a ton of bookshelves and desks for all of her friends/classmates. She made everything herself and told me (her mom) exactly what pictures to use and what she wanted done through the whole process. She made the structure out of gold and glass, then the inside she wanted to be fancy so that “ All of my friends would enjoy it as much as me!” P.S. I had to write this because she’s 5 and is still working on her words/spelling and i had to use my birthday because it says 13 and up when i put hers but the sign up thing says kindergarten and up."

My Amazing Learning Spot

This is my learning spot in Minecraft. I have a computer on my desk, some bookshelves, chests to keep my learning supplies in, a crafting table, a loom, and a sign that says: Ready for school.

Disney Pixar's "Up" House

Disney Pixar's release of "Up", was a big hit in my household. The way they tell the story, the emotions, and the animations, never got old. "Up" is my favorite and will always be my favorite movie from Disney. As soon as I saw this competition, I knew exactly what I was going to do. This took me a long time, so I hope my work won't get wasted.

Kobi's Study Cabin

"This is my log cabin with a river view. This would be the perfect place for me to study while also having several hang out spots. I have the perfect desk with an awesome library and I have a tv and a couch on the other side of the room for when I need a break. I also can go out for a walk in nature to take a break or go for a swim in that river. Go Colorado Preparatory Academy!"

A Toucan and a Hummingbird

"I created two kinds of birds, a toucan and a hummingbird. The toucans live in the lowland tropics in Central and South America and they eat raw fruits or succulent fruit like produce of plants such as roots, shoots, nuts and seeds. The hummingbirds live in the montane forests in South America and they eat nectar and bugs like, beetles, ants, aphids, gnats, mosquitoes, and wasp.

I really love Legos and create a lot of things with them!!! "

Lego PeaDuck

My Lego bird lives in water and on land. He eats worms and fruits. I've decided to name it a PeaDuck since it's a mix of a peacock and a duck. His feet help him swim and walk on water. He is colorful and very popular in zoos. His beak helps him eat fruits and worms.

Bird Jungle

It’s a bird jungle paradise with a lot of colorful birds to live there free and happy.

humming bird garden

I created a humming bird garden. I researched flowers hummingbirds are attracted to and added them to my garden. I used the beehives in the back as hummingbird houses. I picked the cherry blossom biome since hummingbirds are attracted to flowers and thought it would be very beautiful and perfect for hummingbirds.

I was thinking of a big bird on a tree

"ScarlettDuck's Space Station"

I used Google to find images for inspiration. This challenge was new and fun.

Daniel S., 10th Grade

Nothing much other than the fact that it is a solar-powered space station with interior.

Treetopia has three levels. There is a gondola lift that goes to the first floor. It has an elevator to the 2nd floor, and a ladder to reach the third floor. The very top has a telescope for the members to look through. It also has a shelter to store bicycles on the ground level.

This treehouse features a launcher in the left wing that sends you to the blue trampoline in the middle. The staircase in the right leads to a trampoline on the ground.

I decided to build a Lego tree house with a ladder. The best part about this tree house is that I put my creation inside a real tree!

This is Steve and Alex's tree house. in it you will find Luke Skywalker and his loyal soldier looking for the Monday Night Football game. Steve and Alex will always be seen in their new Jacuzzi after a long day's work of mining for diamonds. Sylvester the cat got stuck in the tree again, but Firefighter Samuel will save him. Emmet is grilling crab legs and Vin Deisel and Timmothy are throwing the football. OH NO!!! Thanos and his army are trying to crash the party and steal the Ruby Dimension Rose. if he can get that then he can go to Dimension Icethrow and build a massive army to take over Lego-Tropolis. But Batman, Ironman, Spiderman, the drowned soldier and the ninjas will stop him. lets hope!!!!

It is in all three dimensions. The overworld, the nether and the end. There is the main playground, the challenge dimension and the free build. In the playground there is a free planet, balloons and a lighten bolt and a emerald thingy. There was two animals and one flying challenge game.

My park is the best park ever it has everything at it from a park to a splash pad a train and a lake and even a volleyball and basketball court there lots of easy access areas for kids to play and get around and alot of the park play ground equipment is made safe with seatbelts to keep kids safe and to have fun...

I did build this on Minecraft education edition as you can see in the top left corner, on the bottom right side (the black bar) it says K12, and I did make this on a K12 computer. I also want to say that this is my first month playing on a computer. before I played on the computer I played on the Xbox 360 witch the highest update being 1.13 the aquatic update. I realized that this is the best build I have ever made.

Saqqara, the Egyptian Burial Site

"Saqqara, is almost an hour’s drive from Cairo International Airport. It is one of Egypt’s greatest ancient sites in the middle of a rather desert-like landscape that was once filled with stunning ancient Egyptian art and architecture. Saqqara was the burial ground of the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis and is home to numerous pyramids and tombs. Saqqara is located in Egypt, around 17 miles south of downtown Cairo. The best way to get there is via a privately hired car or taxi, and it is recommended that you hire either for the full day so you may get around each of the site’s attractions easily."

4th grader Simon T.

Pergamum

"Pergamum was an an early center of Christianity on Turkey. I think this is cool because ancient ruins show what old earth might have looked like. On the roof I tried to mimic things that may have been gold, or torches for light. I used tiles on the floor for a nice floor texture. I pulled off some of the tiles and leaned some against other tiles to make it look like ruins. I made broken pillars and undergrowth. I also made fallen pillars."

R.J. the Trash Cleaner Upper

"R.J. (Robotic Jellyfish) is a robot made for cleaning the ocean. R.J. has four specialized features to aide him on his cleaning journey. First is the headlights, which help R.J. see and detect trash. Second is his robotic arms, which are long and have a strong grip. Three is the vacuum mouth. R.J. uses his arms to stuff the trash in his mouth, which sucks it up into tubes and then into the furnaces to incinerate the trash. Last is his large wheels to help him move on the ocean floor.
R.J. is here to help!"

Our summer fun is playing outside in puddles after a rainy day! We love dancing in the rain and making a big splash! We are a apart of Ohio virtual academy and will be a second grader in August!

My family at Myrtle Beach, SC at the Apache Pier.

My mom and I went to an Angels baseball game (my first baseball game) with my some of my family members. We had such a great time! We laughed, we sang, and we enjoyed each others company.

My family and I, had an amazing trip to Santa Monica, and if I could describe my summer with one photo it would definitely be this pic. I had an amazing time on all the rides, as well as walking on the beach.

I built a custom tree and branches, on one of the branches is a little birdhouse which acts as the entrance to my treehouse. I decided to make my treehouse a literal treehouse and built the house inside of the tree. I'm submitting a video and a screenshot because I'm not sure which I am meant to submit.

I made a campsite

I did the Indigenous Stories theme. I have some simple yet well-built huts a nice little campfire. There are three horses near the huts so people can ride them. the people have a large crop field that is healthy. they have animals for food, there are some sheep for wool, cows for milk and meat, chickens for eggs and meat, and pigs for meat. among all the other things, there is also a small pond, useful for fetching water or to fish in. you can also washcloth with the freshwater it has. the tree that surrounds the village provide shelter and keep the strong winds from messing with the crops and blowing stuff over. the people who live in the village have long, happy lives, with cozy homes and plenty of food, what more could you ask for.
