So far in genius hour I have learned a lot. I've learned about something called banana bio plastic. Banana bio plastic is a bio plastic made from banana's so it's Eco-friendly and cheap. With the bio plastic I want to make a webbed glove (see image) or the extension to the paddle or webbed glove. But I'm not sure it's going to work.
I have reached out to my teacher's husband and an engineering teacher at Downers Grove South to help me with me design. Both haven't got back to me yet.
I have made about three prototypes. One of them with a stick going from the wrists to the elbows. Another with a different type of paddle that is webbed. And now, I'm trying to do the banana bio plastic idea. If that doesn't work I think I will try with silicon because that what the original product (image) is and I will add some find of extension.
